Kill the bailout: Newt Gingrich gets on board

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 23, 2008 02:35 PM

I said it yesterday.

Newt Gingrich said it today.

Hans Bader sums it up succinctly: The Bush/Paulson bailout is “Inflationary, Unnecessary, and Unconstitutional.”

Yes, it’s time for ideological purity.

Kill it.

Commenter b-cat: “This is good. Now that he’s not on a couch holding hands with Nancy Pelosi. Glad to have him back.”

Yep. Couch buddies no more.

For now, anyway.

    Giving the bankers our money isn’t going to keep the economy from collapsing. It’s only going to postpone it until after the election.

    Let the big banks die, give the states their right to regulate banks individually, and reduce the size of the federal government.

    It’s gonna suck, but it would be a wonderful opportunity to return to some conservative values. (But we won’t.)

    #99 Marco you’re correct but, they’re afraid of a flood to the banks to withdraw assets the banks need to move money. That’s the problem

    Called my congressman, knowing he will likely vote for it. I just asked him to make sure the bill is READ FIRST. This same knee-jerk reaction – kicking us where it hurts – is the same kind of crap that brought on the Patriot Act.

    Every time Washington jerks, I get a knee in the b***s.

    This ‘bail out’ is wholly UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!! STOP THE MADNESS!!!!

    There are ways to achieve the same effect without undermining capitalism and the American way of life!

    NO BAIL OUT! We’re Americans! We can deal with this! WE DO NOT WANT SOCIALISM!

    Dear President Bush,

    You were not my first choice for President in the 2000 elections. But once chosen as the Republican candidate (and seeing your opposition), I supported you. I voted for you once again (even bought into the “compassionate conservative”). I spent many hours defending you in conversations and arguments with friends…but no more. This crap you are shoving down our throats is unheralded, un-American, and despicable.

    I understand economics, the market, and proper investments. What we really have here is criminal looting of the American people that makes Enron look like stealing penny candy from the five and dime.

    The only way I would even consider giving any money at all to this fiasco is if those who caused it find themselves in jail. That includes the CEOs, CFOs, and the government regulators that looked the other way. If a few members of Congress went as well, that’s ok as well.

    Your long-term legacy may be intact without these actions, but that is for history to judge. Slightly less than half of the American population can not stand you for a number of reasons (some of them are actually valid). You are currently losing the other half. Don’t you care about America?

    You want to spread democracy? Hear the people, President Bush!
