Isn't this 700 billion dollar bail out the biggest redistribution of wealth in history except going in the opposite direction with the government taxing you to bail out the banks and corporations.
It strikes me as the biggest socialist republican move ever, and I don't get why don't dumb ass republicans don't mind getting it up the ass in that redistribution as long as we keep the words "Capitalism" and "Free Enterprise" around, although it makes me kind of question the meaning to those words.

What republicans are you talking about? Every one I know (including myself), was TOTALLY against it. Hell, Wells Fargo and B of A didn't want anything to do with it, but they were basically forced into it by the gov. Any true conservative understands that this is going to result in massive government power over the whole banking system.
Speaking as a fiscal conservative/republican... me and my friends were completely against the bailout. We were all writing and faxing and calling our reps and senators like crazy to tell them to vote against it. It may have had an affect on the first vote, but the second go round went through...
