But Bushco wasting even more billions of taxpayer money on a useless and unnecessary war was fine with them, huh?

At least the bailouts are an attempt to help America and it's economy recover from disaster. In seven years, how have all those hundreds of billions of dollars for Bush's war helped Americans?

No, the bailouts were a step to government takeover of corporations like Chavez is doing in his country.

The real question is where's the national media coverage? If you take a look at Google News you'll notice each of these events only got local coverage. Maybe if Bristol Palin's ex-boyfriend was protesting the NY Times or Washington Post would send a reporter. I don't know, more than 4,000 people in Orlando combined with all of the other ones in other parts of the country seems to indicate the media can't climb down off its elitist horse to find out what the heck is going on. There is more than one way to show blatant bias and that's the bias of omission.

Yes, tell me what is going on? I have seen more people at a High School Football Game so it's really not much of a story though you nuts want it to be. If you want it to be some national story why don't you recruit Silly Sarah to get all those rednecks all riled up....
