We're beating the b*stards

Nobody else is pointing this out so I will: We're batting two for two.
Last year we beat back John McCain's moronic open borders bill, which had the potential to destroy America. Now we've beaten back George Bush's moronic bailout bill, which would have driven one more nail in the coffin of conservatism, a major force in the nation's growth and vitality.

Here's the Wall Street Journal's take:
"The defeat in Congress of a proposed $700 billion economic rescue package followed an intense outpouring of voter anger, fanned by politicians, interest groups and media on the left and right, that overwhelmed calls from the president and top lawmakers to pass the deal.

Fierce resistance from both ends of the political spectrum drove lawmakers to vote against the economic rescue plan.
Voters opposed to the deal deluged Capitol Hill with letters, emails, phone calls and faxes over the past week. Some 23,000 signatures were collected over two days by Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont Independent, calling for a five-year, 10% surtax on the wealthiest Americans to help fund the bailout. Some prominent conservatives and bloggers criticized the deal as an unwarranted intervention in the free market."

Conservatism may be ailing, but conservatives are ready for battle.

How disconnected is Washington from reality? This disconnected: Today, a talking head on television was bemoaning the "unraveling" of the market while the tape crawlng across the bottom of the screen showed the Dow up by almost 300 points.
