Democrats
The Dems recently announced their acceptance of the bailout bill. Here is my take:

An Open Letter To Senator Obama
Dear Senator Obama,
I've read with interest your attempts (via your campaign organization) to stifle ads and other communications that are negative about you. You call them lies and dishonesty, but they are, in essence, just negative ads. I'm sure you have a college degree and law school degree behind you, but I'm not sure you learned anything. Let me help you out here: First, the Constitution of the United States guarantees me that I am free from government censure because I hold certain views and express those views in a non-threatening way. Secondly, and you really must have done poorly in your American History classes not to know this, but campaigns are by their nature negative and cantankerous. Everyone running says something negative about the other guy.

This means, my dear Senator, that your attempts to stifle the ads in question (and here is one for you:
have only inflamed the blogosphere and are bringing more and more negative attention to you; and well deserved negative attention it is too.
Recently, you and your minions enlisted three individuals in the great state of Missouri to cajole and threaten individuals/stations whoever with prosecution. Well, Senator, this blog is viewable in Missouri, so prosecute my butt if you are man enough! No? I didn't think so!
At least thats how I see it on this side of the Pecos River!
Most Sincerely Yours,

Kill The Bill
I have no belief that the Congress of these United States will do the right thing and just sit back and do nothing, effectively killing the bailout bill. But I can hope. As that great socialist in the sky once said "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself." Well, ole FDR created lots of "bailouts" including Social Security (which I'm elegible for but not taking - at least not yet while I can still work) and the result was the depression lasted until December 7, 1941. You see, all that federal medling prolonged the depression.
As Newt Gingrich implied, the president has lost his mind, which to most of us conservatives isn't all that much news anyway
Look, I have a friend that went bankrupt because he wasn't minding the store like he should have been, he lost a lot of money, decades worth of work and still owes Uncle Sam ten's of thousands of bucks in back taxes. He's paying that off, one month at a time and has paid over half of it. But he damn sure doesn't ask for a bailout, he accepts full responsibility for the loss. That's the way it is supposed to work people!
Don't get me wrong, there are lots of people guilty for this mess we're in, and the Democrats are first to be in line, but Republicans aren't guiltless either and there are an awful lot of folk who got rich while ginning up this FUBAR mess. Some of them ought to go to jail methinks, expecially some of those congress critters who got hundreds of thousands in "contributions" (read bribes) from folks like Fannie May and Freddie Mac and other snakes just like them.
I will give Bush credit for this, he saw the mess a-brewin' at Fannie May and Freddie Mac long before others did and the Democrats blocked it because they wanted to look good to poor folk for being able to live in a champaigne house on a beer budget if you will excuse the mixed metaphore. But now those houses are being foreclosed on because the poor suckers really couldn't afford them, couldn't afford to live in them and just stopped payment.
So, lets recap: Not paying attention to good market practice got us into this mess, and overlooking good market practice in favor of borrowing from Mary, Sam, John, George, Bill, Esther, Fred, Glenn and Peter to pay off Paul won't get us out of it.

In Sunday's National Review online, Gingrich writes: "Congress was designed byAnd that is precisely the issue, do we let the market forces of capitalism work or do we jump in and make sure that our children and grandchildren and maybe great grandchildren foot the bill for our foolishness because I think Gingrich is wrong on the "20-year mess," 80 to 100 years will be much more like it.

one-week solution that becomes a 20-year mess."

Gateway Pundit: Sick! Soldier's Family Told Obama Not to Wear Son's Bracelet!
There are few forms of life lower than someone who would defy the family of a deceased Iraqi War hero's request. But leave it to Obama. Gateway Pundit has the details,
Hello Folks
I got mighty sick of listenin’ to the weasels of the left after the Republican National Convention, so I decided to do some blogging about it. Now hold on folks, this here is going to be a rip-snorting, ear pulling blog. I plan to kick some lefty butt and take names with the emphasis on the former. Now listen, you lefties that come here to read, don’t be thinkin’ that just ’cause I’m from Texas that I don’t know nothin’. I have advanced degrees and other than this here first post (mainly to show my Texas bonafides) I’ll be using the regular Kings English. So, if you got a hankerin’ to hear some real conservative talk from Deep In The Heart Of Texas, just hang around. And y’all be sure and come back now; ya hear?
