re: "the imperfections in this bill are the result of a democratic process that can be rethought, revisited and reworked"?

Methinks this bailout bill need never have suffered defeat on the Congressional floor had America only abandoned its antiquated two-party system years ago.

What really needs to be 'rethought, revisited' and reworked' is the fundamentally flawed assumption that two morally bankrupt political party's are all that is needed to represent the interests of 300 million people in a modern and dynamic society. Two political voices - talk about a Hobson's Choice. Without a viable and progressive third option American politics (and its economy) is destined to remain an absurdity!
