POLITICS Show the bums you know their game

Post by bunklocoempire »

With democrats and Obama pointing fingers at regulations and republicans and McCain flat out lying to us, and congress "coming together" for another whack at our wallets, show these bums we're not as stupid as they think we are. The MAJORITY of Americans are putting up a fight over these bailouts yet congress and the pres continue to ream us.

They are ALL "banking" on the notion they can hand us any line of stuff and get re-elected as they smoke us with finger pointing.

Call and write 'em all again with support of this bill. Sound money tends to keep politicans honest.

If you agree, call your Congressman today… http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ ..or not..if you want to keep bailing out the Bank of SCOTLAND.....Royal Bank of Scotland to get Billions from Bailout http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog/?p=634
