Hypocrisy, they name is…

In light of the current financial crisis I thought it would be helpful to see what the Republicans really think about the government helping to bail out financial institutions. From the 2008 Republican National Convention platform:

We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. We believe in the free market as the best tool to sustained prosperity and opportunity for all.

Flip flop...Indeed.
