Disingenuous Heartstring Tuggers
That term is mine to describe every shitbag repubic who says we need to do this bailout so students can get student loans.

Cry me a fucking river.

These are the very same shitbag repubics who voted to make student loans difficult or impossible to get for other reasons.

(Note: this thread is not about the rightness or wrongness of the bailout. It is about what it says it is about - hypocrites.)

2. Remember what Carlin said?
"There are three things politicians hide behind- the flag, the bible and the children"

If they really wanted to help with higher education, they'd put more programs in for free education- investing in our future.

No, they don't care about anyone but them. Amusing how the elderly, the minimum wages works and the kids have been dragged out as a screen this week though, isn't it?

4. People shouldn't have to take out private loans to get an education..
there should be low interest government loans available for that for anybody who qualifies.

5. To a friend
I told a friend of mine just yesterday that I had pretty much decided how to tell when a conservative has fucked over the country and is being called to task for it.

Me: "Hrm. I wonder if a conservative has fucked me over today."

**Turns on television**

R Politician: "Now is not the time to point fingers..."

Me: "Yuppers. Got caught din'tcha."

I've found there's pretty much 100% accuracy in this method of determination. :)
