How big were those A.I.G. bonuses?

Congress and the President are in complete agreement, and urging all of us to be outraged by the huge $165,000,000 in bonuses paid out by A.I.G.

Remember, this is the same Congress and the same President who told us the earmarks (which totalled a whopping $8,000,000,000 ... 50+ times the A.I.G. bonuses!) were insignificant ... nothing to worry about.

It's a sad state of affairs when the voters are told what to be outraged about, and what to ignore ... and comply without a whimper.

I will vote against any Congressman or Senator who voted for T.A.R.P., regardless of party. Too long we've been told "we had no choice; we didn't like having to do that, but the alternative would have been worse; and besides, look how bad the other guy is!" ... and believed it!

We need to hold these people accountable for their votes that are in opposition to our wishes; stop forgetting their wrongs because they're the "right" party; and send a clear message:
Represent the values and positions of the people who sent you there, or go home!
