Question for y'all.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

The preposterous nature of the original Paulson proposal makes almost anything look reasonable in comparison. What do you think the odds are that this was taken into consideration at the original "brainstorming" session months ago when this was drawn up?

1. I think it's the natural evolution..

of corruption.

2. It seems to me...

that EVERYTHING that has been put forth by these &%$%ers has been to elevate their financial standing. The environment, energy, housing, transportation... it just goes on and on and on.

3. All these "crises" are pre-planned....

it's how they get what they want. If these evil MF's spent as much time & energy legitimately planning for the good will of the American people, this country would be truly more awesome than ever before.

But they plot & plan in their selfish manner for only them & their cronies, so our nation is falling.

Revolution is the only answer now.
Scares me to say that, as many will perish because Blackwater & our own military will be used against us, but it seems our only option now. We are in a fascist state....we just don't overtly know it yet.

4. It's an old trick -- and obviously it's working! Great observation! (nt)

5. So the Republicans planned to destroy their candidate jsut before the election?

Or the Dems did?

Who are the planners?

6. What's your point? Elaborate a bit and I will give you some more of what I believe.

This is all about the cash... candidates are irrelevant.

7. Never mind

You started the poll, I thought you might have something concrete in mind.

8. ??

In other words, you have nothing but the inane questions posed previously?

[HughMoran]

9. So you're "preplanned' was a made up lie

That you have NO evidence for.

Two can play the "no information provided - prove ME wrong" game.

11. They knew ahead of time they'd get the money for Freddie and Fannie first.

They made a decision to get those two out of the way first.

The three page original Paulson proposal is the oldest play in the book. Throw out something general and unreasonable, and let the other side dive into it and come up with changes. The point is to get the other side knee deep in changes so they lose sight of the fact that they're agreeing to the bailout.
