Subprime GOP
ByPatrick Ruffini, and what the GOP now stands for:
God Himself couldn't have given rank-and-file Republicans a better opportunity to create political space between themselves and the Administration. That's why I want to see 40 Republican No votes in the Senate, and 150+ in the House. If a bailout is to pass, let it be with Democratic votes. Let this be the political establishment (Bush Republicans in the White House + Democrats in Congress) saddling the taxpayers with hundreds of billions in debt (more than the Iraq War, conjured up in a single weekend, and enabled by Pelosi, btw), while principled Republicans say "No" and go to the country with a stinging indictment of the majority in Congress.
...A bailout may be inevitable, but so to can be the political benefit for Congressional Republicans if played correctly.
This is what young conservatives now specialize in: cynicism of epic proportions.
