I think I figured out what is going on here. I've seen this pattern a few times. Liberals in general, and I do mean in general, tend to follow the party line no matter what. I'll never forget the Republicans in congress during the mid 90s trying to pass Welfare Reform, and over and over Bill Clinton voted it. Finely about the what... 3rd or 4th time, he finely signed it when he found it to be politically advantageous to do so.
But amusingly, the liberals who supported him, when he was vetoing it, said it was the right thing to do, it was a horrible bill, it would kill children and leave people dying on the street corners and so on. Then when he signed it... poof it was a brilliant idea, it was a great step in the right direction, it was a masterful bit of legislation by Clinton. Even though people who compared the bills said there was nearly no changes between each bill.
Liberals will follow the party line no matter what. Like fill up your tires is our energy policy. "What a GREAT policy! That is BRILLIANT!". I think many liberals when they come on here, assume that all of us are exactly like them. And I'll even grant that I have seen some republicans that follow the party line no matter what too.
But most of us are not like that, which throws them off. I don't care what lame excuse Bush or anyone, democrat or republican, comes up with as to why this bailout is supposedly so needed. I'm against any welfare, no matter who it goes to. I'm against any socialism, no matter what reason is behind it. (and will be until someone can show a system that works). I'm against taking money from the people who rightfully earned it, and giving it to anyone who didn't, regardless of reason.
