Does it gall anyone else?

That our Democratic Party is leading the charge to bail out the Big Banks and financial institutions that got us into the mess in the first place? Normally, we would expect the Republican Party to be the major defenders of these criminals. That we gave them $350 billion dollars with nary a bit of oversight? That they passed out that taxpayer money with big bonuses,like it was Halloween treats or Christmas presents. At the same time, the same taxpayers were being laid off with little hope for the future?

Does it seem to anyone else that our Democratic Party was acting like Republicans? Defending the Big Banks and the wealthy over the average American? I heard no Democrats ask the Big Bankers for an accounting of the money. I heard no Democrats tell the big financiers that when we give you taxpayer money, we own your asses! They appear afraid to use the word "nationalized"?

Just as the GOP is no longer the Party of Lincoln, the Democratic Party is no longer the Party of FDR. "Well, what do you expect them to do, let them go under"?? Well, yes. Yes! Yes! Let the thieves go under and save our good banks. Not all of them were involved in these activities. I am embarrassed that our Party is spit-shining the shoes of the wealthy class, at the expense of the rest of us. Yes, it is we that will suffer the consequences. Then they will say, "Think of how bad it would have been...? Bullshit!! This is not my Democratic Party.
