Nice blanket statement(s) there.

The Dems would never vote for Corporate Welfare. Only republicans voted for TARP. Now please explain to me how TARP AND TALF got passed with a Democratic majority in the House and Senate.

You fail to realize that party lines only matter to the average (dumb) US citizen. Both parties are bought and paid for by lobbyists.

I suggest you do some reading on a man named Ron Paul. He's a Repub from Texas. He has a lot of good ideas, but he's not "politiciany" enough to get elected as President. He doesn't parade around and promise people a bunch of things he can't and won't deliver.

He reminds me a lot of Ross Perot, a man that was written off as a crazy person. Perot warned us about NAFTA, and now everyone with half a brain (note: does not apply to most Americans) knows what the big sucking sound is with jobs (hint: Mexico and Canada have more car plants for "U.S" car manufacturers than the US does).

Pay attention to the Federal Reserve. The PRIVATE institution that controls the nation's money supply and interest rates. Want to know why your savings rate at your bank is nothing? It's because the Fed is lending money to their bank buddies at 0% interest. The real kick in the pants is that these banks then turn around and put the money in the stock market, instead of lending it to consumers and businesses to get the economy going again. Want to know who the Fed answers to? Here's a hint, it ain't you, me, or anyone on Capitol Hill.

The sooner people realize that lobbyists, and the whole of corporate America, is playing BOTH sides of the aisle like a fiddle, the sooner we can elect reps that will institute real change, instead of the ones that just talk about it.
