Like scores of evangelists and hypocrites and moralists who spew and praise family values and pretend to be holier than thou and are then regularly caught cheating or cross dressing or found to be perverts these Bush hypocrites who spewed for years the glory of unfettered wild west laissez faire jungle capitalism (and never believed in any sensible and appropriate regulation and supervision of financial markets) allowed the biggest debt bubble ever to fester without any control, have caused the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression and are now forced to perform the biggest government intervention and nationalizations in the recent history of humanity, all for the benefit of the rich and the well connected.
And, sports fans, did you know Lehman and WaMu are tanking? Stay tuned for another federal bailout! Those fucking losses won’t socialize themselves!

What will it take to wake up America from the comma of GOP rule?

Yes, because America should be like no other country in the world and let people die unnecessarily.

Can you identify the country in which “the biggest and most socialist government intervention in economic affairs since the formation of the Soviet Union and Communist China recently occurred"?
That's right comrades, it's the United States, and the intervention was the government takeover of Freddie and Fannie.
