How does the average Republican that I know feel about this bailout....

well, let me tell you. 90% of the people I know and work with are self-identified Republicans. I live in Arizona, and lets face it, an AZ democrat is more like a centrist, at least I find. Anyway, something we should all understand is the depth of anger that is being driven by this "program". They (the right) are just as pissed as you and I, and are echoing the same sentiments about protest and revolution. I have never seen anything like it. Ever.
Think what you want about them, but if the average joe 6 pack Dem or Repub has some common ground, that can and should be utilized toward common goals.
Just a thought.

3. I agree.

Joe Sixpack (D & R) have more in common than they do with Rothchilds and the McCains. We need to capitalize on this and start getting across to people that the chances of them winning the lottery to put them in that class and allow them to live the lifestyles of the rich and famous are very slim.

4. The people at the top are united...

They want to keep us divided by petty issues that will never be resolved, there is no "upside" to them...

As lone as we continue to bicker about guns, abortion and race, we are easilty distracted by what is happening behind the fucking curtain...

5. who knows? maybe this will help lead to an end of red vs blue, and we'll all just be American again.

That's the only "positive" I have been able to come up with so far....

7. They should be.. When has the govt ever stepped in to help their business

grow or hold up.. If you fail, you fail. If you do well, you do well.... For Republicans this is a nightmare, oxy-moron. If you are a Dem, its equally disgusting because of the Non-oversight, the special rules, the tax monies disapearing social concerns that still are inadequately met, and a general sense that this is fascism.. No, this is Tea Party issues my folks.. No taxation, without representation.. If they go against the people in this, then they lose big (unfortunately, the Dems are sitting high on the hog right now, trying to ride the wave to victory in house and senate seats--this will cause them to lose).... This is NO GOOD...

9. In my experience, as a more moderate Dem...

the freeps are the far right of the equation, not the norm. I don't think we would be consorting with the extreme, just more similar folks with different views. All I know is this, they are PISSSSSED, and although I haven't heard yet this AM, the foreign bank thing will send them BALLISTIC. I mean absolutely APESHIT. I expect e-mails inbound momentarily. Just a thought.
