And they were literally busing in "protesters" to their so-called "rallies", where they proceeded to scare geezers with "death panels". It was such nonsensical bullsh*t hiding, basically, racism.

I saw Santelli on TV when he actually went on his rant, and at first it looked like he was saying to let those who gambled fail. You mean the banks? Fine with me. But that message was quickly subsumed into "let the poor saps who bought houses with adjustable rate mortgages, then got their loans sold and re-sold a dozen times" fail, while we absolutely HAD to bail out the banks. That's pretty much when the whole gig was up for me. Our entire system turned into a con job at that point.
