Never Thought I'd Vote Loser-Tarian.

I just sent this to my Senator & Senatrix, who both let me down and took the apparently politically expedient way:

Subject: Change Your Vote Or Lose Mine

Senator xxx,

My sadness is almost beyond words to see that both Senators from Texas voted for this boondogle.

If the revised measure comes back to the Senate and you vote for it, I'm voting libertarian in the upcoming election. If it doesn't go back to the Senate, you have already lost my vote. There are no lesser evils when it comes to Socialists.

The Capitalist way would be to buy troubled banks WITH their assets, then sell them again. Like we did after the S&L crisis. You could buy 23 of the 24 banks in the KBW Bank Index, including Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co. with $700B. And still have money left to buy a stake in JPMorgan Chase & Co., the largest company in the index.

This is THE Last Straw.
