Still a pittance.

And it's not the story. The story is about ginning up public outrage against bonuses that had been negotiated -- by contract -- well in advance. Every one of the Dems frothing at the mouth about them had been aware of the bonuses for months.

Now they're caught in their own lies, except, of course, for Teleprompter Man, who they're trying to pass off as an innocent naif who knew nothing about it -- pure as the driven snow. The only problem with that characterization is that this is the same doofus who was described a few weeks back as being exhausted from all his late-night work on "fixing" the economy.

And that is exactly what I'm talking about.

They are cultivating public outrage over an insignificant amount of money.

They pi$$ed away the whole farm.

Sure, they are getting some flack now but the focus has shifted away from the farm and only on the tractor.

Now that they've recovered the tractor through taxes, the msm will ignore the farm and paint them as heroes.

The story is about ginning up public outrage against bonuses

That is what I was trying to say originally.

The Dems couldn't have played this any better even if they tried. This "public outrage" is a gift for the rats.

I wasn't arguing. I got your point, and it was an excellent one. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

No worries, I didn’t think you were.

You made my point better than I did. I was just jumping aboard your verbiage.

I`ve been saying this for days now,even posted a thread on making this a theme for our tea-parties but there don`t seem to be many takers.What, a little populist twist makes some conservatives cringe?

How about helping them out by organizing an AIG bonus gate, tea-party in your area?

If the complicity of the lame stream media in helping to spin this is pissing you off then do something else besides just tapping on keyboards.Oh,I know,things like going out and organizing street level protests are useless,right?There comes a time when ALL this blogging MUST be backed up by some physical action,no one here is saying getting violent or abusive!Just show you have as much balls as the rent a crowd rats that show up for their staged events.What do you think,can you handle that,or is that too much to freaking ask of you?
