In a strange twist of fate, I am kind of relieved that I can count on Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Bill O'Reilly, and Fox News, heretofore named the "Republican Guard", to continue to say nothing, and do nothing when it comes to the oppressive stance banks are taking against their BEST and most reliable CUSTOMERS.
The easiest path to success for the Republican Guard would be to take on the credit card banking industry and fight for the consumer. However, if the Republican Guard only did this because it was the popular thing to do, it would mean we would be electing ultra frauds to congress in 2010.
Instead, these Republican Guard opportunists just gleefully rub their hands together and think teabag protests are going to sweep them back into power. The Republican Guard looks forward to the next series of congressional elections where they believe they can make huge inroads against the 2008 democratic landslide. News alert you manipulative, conservative opportunists. At best, you will pick up two seats in 2010, at worst, you will LOSE EVEN MORE GROUND.
The Republican Guard has no soul. A successful political movement has to attempt to understand, to actually feel someone's pain before they will be trusted. The Republican Guard's reluctance to condemn what the banking credit card industry is presently doing to their best customers carries more weight than all the tea from all of those teabag party protests.

Republican Guard, we're on to you and your manipulation. If you can't stand up for people being financially oppressed and being denied basic opt out rights when changes in terms are made by the banks, I'll fight you day and night to make sure you don't get your grubby hands anywhere near congress, you out of touch, publicity grabbing, opportunistic, heartless twits.
This is no longer a Republican versus Democrat issue, this is now the banking industry against the heart and soul of their most trustworthy customers, the ones that make their payments on time every month. Meanwhile, Newt, Rush, O'Reilly and Fox and Friends want to turn back the hands of time to 1994 and the contract with amnesia.
The Republican Guard wants to create a taxpayer revolt againt the democrats and the bailout bill while they themselves conveniently ignore the grand theft the banking industry is conducting against honorable and responsible americans. The Republican Guard really must think we are dense.

Demonstrations and street theater against taxation without representation do have a long and honorable history. What they don't have is any connection to this current political stunt.
Sure, I understand that few want to pay taxes. Me neither. But if people are protesting taxes, shouldn't they be rejoicing that the top rate is no longer 91 percent as it was under President Eisenhower? No one's taxes have gone up since Clinton. So what is the protest about? Oh, it's about taxes going up some day. This isn't a political dog that will hunt. We are taxed and we are represented. So the point is...?
Some are understandably upset about the bailouts. Good. Me too! But shall we look at who is getting the benefit of the bailouts? Banks. Investment banks. Stock brokerages. Insurance companies. So, the Republicans have whipped up the mob to protest a tax hike that hasn't happened and a bailout that is for the benefit of mostly Republicans. I need something stronger than tea to swallow this!
