Nick von Stein for Congress

Because my congressional representative voted for the bailout, not once but twice, I cannot support him this fall.  I live in House Minority Leader John Boehner's district, which is the 8th district of Ohio.  Because I cannot support him, I must vote for the alternative.  This year a young man named Nick von Stein is running on the Democratic ticket for the 8th district of Ohio.  I thereby throw my support behind this man, if only to spite John Boehner, who is not a true republican.

The only problem is, Nick doesn't seem to be running a very large campaign, so it he will probably lose. :-/

Privatize profits, Socialize losses

This whole idea of a bail out package for irresponsible private banks and mortgage companies flows against the very foundation of a free market economy. Home prices are over inflated, the market must adjust prices like it would do for any other product or service, laying out a 700 billion dollar trough for these corrupt and incompetent members of the mortgage industry will do nothing but keep home prices artificially inflated and will do nothing to fix the over all problems with the economy. I guarantee you, if this bail out passes, it will not be the last bail out and it certainly will not be the largest.
