A.I.G.

I wrote everyone and told them to vote "no." Both sides voted yes and blew me and all the others writing in to say vote "no." This isn't just about the bonuses, this is about paying off foreign banks. Next election, Feingold, and Ryan and Kohl are all out. They sure won't get my vote.

Legacy of the Bush era and the first bailout.

Huck, don't be partisan. How about "legacy of the democrat congress, Pelosi, Dodd, Frank, Reid"?? There is plenty of blame to go around, all the way back to Clinton.

hmmmm Feingold is a what? "Both sides voted yes and blew me and all the others writing in to say vote "no."" is partisan?

Feingold(D), Ryan(R), and Kohl(R) all wrote back to me and thanked me for telling them to vote yes. I had "NO" several times in my Emails. "Your input is important." Useless asshats.

If you've read my take in the past, you've read my rant against 50 years of deficit spending. Both sides, not just the current crop. Bush however was the worst of the lot. And we can't forget Newt. Now there is a hypocrite.

Come on, AA...we know Huck doesn't like Bush, but he did get at least a little bi-partisan in his bashing there.

AIG is just a complete and utter mess. Employees are getting death threats. Bonuses here really cast doubt on whether we are living in a meritocracy.
