Karl Rove Knows His Politics
It’s nice to hear about this insider stuff. Helps give a better understanding to why the House voted against the bail out.

Whew, as much as I dislike him, he certainly knows his stuff.

It’s interesting that they assume that it is a good thing for America for the taxpayer to bail out the irresponsible - isn’t that the opposite of what conservatives are supposed to believe?

Not really- conservatives have always been the big business party. Now, it’s true that recently, big businesses have started favoring libertarian rhetoric to justify why they shouldn’t have to pay taxes or suffer regulation, and conservatives have started parroting that rhetoric when they pass pro-corporate legislation. But the bailout isn’t in the least inconsistent with their actual policies and practicies of the last several decades, just with their most recent round of rhetoric.
