Welcome to the October Surprise

Welcome to the "October Surprise".  Only it's in September. The idea here seems to be to make an outrageous request basically as a trial balloon.   If it goes through, great, the banksters can steal a lot more money before the end of the Bush Regime.   They get the Democrats to support it by lying about the immediate and enormous effects it will have on the economy. After all, they expect to win in November and don't want to have an unmanageable situation on their hands. Then have the Republicans balk, insist on "Free market" principles while mouthing some platitudes about helping the homeowner and taxpayer, and RUN OUT THE CLOCK. Then engineer a massive stock market slide on Monday and Tuesday, get your friends in the MSM to wail and gnash their teeth about how this is the end of the world, then have McSame come back to Washington to "save" the situation by convincing the Republicans to vote for the bailout, which then causes the stock market to surge in October, thus changing enough minds to get him elected. Voila!!
