Disgust Reaches An All-New High

I just listened to Senate Majority Leader Reid on CNN. He was telling us how many items had been added to this bailout bill, items that were supposed to benefit us all.

It was disgusting to watch, disgusting to listen to, disgusting to digest.

The bailout promoters and Senate leaders are adding numerous little pork bills that - under normal circumstances - wouldn't stand a chance in hell of getting passed, in a blatant attempt to bribe enough Senators to pass this bailout bill.

Every Senator has a few bills that are stupid, wasteful or even illegal, bills that they introduce to satisfy some small group of campaign donors back home, bills they know the Senate will reject out of hand, but they can go back and show those donors how they tried to get whatever it was passed.

Well, the Senate leaders have attached many, many of these disgusting little rip-off proposals to the bailout bill in order to buy the votes they need to steal 700 billion dollars of our money.

This 700 billion dollar bailout is rapidly approaching the trillion dollar mark... with all these expensive little add-ons being tossed in.

That's why my disgust has just reached all-new levels.
