I don’t know, I don’t think us Democrats are as socialist as you think. I’m going to guess most Democrats reluctently supported the bailouts thinking that, but for the bailouts, the economy was going down the tubes. Last time I checked, hairy hippies and women studies professors weren’t exactly thinking that their life-long dreams came true - corporate welfare for AIG, etc… . To be sure, prior to this past year, I bet the average person, Democrat or Republican had not previously had the word “bailout” in his vocabulary. Whether the bailouts are good or bad, I don’t see my neighbors rejoicing.


I know post is a million years old by now, but I think you pretty much nailed it here. The bailout was hard for a lot of Democrats to swallow as well. I personally called my blue dog democrat congressman’s office and bitched about it and I’m a Democrat (for lack of better options).
