People, it's time to get rid of these "A"-holes and elect people who will serve as our representatives and not shills for Wall Street and the corporations...

Too many politicians lose sight of who elected them. They just become part of the machine from the moment they are elected. The machine has too much say in the selection processes, not to be more directly answerable.

Scholes Professor of Finance in the 
University of Chicago, characterized the bailout, in an interview with Fox News: 
"The legislation is like this: some boats are sinking, so rather than bailing 
those boats out, you blow up the dam and drain the whole lake."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=1f1b9440-8801-4b93-8e5c-8ace872f55e8&p=2">It is worth adding that not one of the politicians voting on the 450-odd-page 
bill can possibly have read the whole thing, let alone deeply considered the 
implications of its parts. Few of them have an understanding of the crisis they 
are legislating for. The blind are leading the blind.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/70464DEA-6063-46A2-8E10-6C588DC0DE8E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
