UPDATE 2: I will not even attempt to keep this diary up as an open thread unless you folks ask me to. Today is going to be an 411 overload kind of day and as much as I follow these subjects I do not believe I am the one the DKos community should be relying upon to bring today's events with proper commentary.

The origional open:
The news this morning from the world of international finance is breathtaking in its combined losses.

I have to apologize up front folks... This is going to be one of those short, non diary diaries. I do not like to read these much, except when they get me thinking. Secondly, I am a retired knuckle dragger and graduate of the 9th grade so I forewarn you, the reader of my deficiency with the written word.
I hope that you find this of enough interest to get you thinking and that you do not decide this is a waste of time because your input matters to me.

Should the democratic leadership in congress require that recinding the "Bush Tax Cuts" be made a part of any government funded bail out of the financial markets?

YES! Now is the time to stick it to the schrub and his co-concpirator's in reckless deregulation

YES! We must exercise fiscal discipline as best as we can by offsetting spending with budget cuts or tax increases.

YES! Better to get this done now than in the spring.

YES! And dedicate the funds to be put into a trust to pay off the bail out.

Maybe.. I just do not know what to think right now, my head is splitting

Maybe, I trust Speaker Pelosi & Majority Leader Reid to do what is best.

NO! It is too much of a confrontation during an election

NO! Are you crazy talking about tax hikes during an election!

NO! Raising taxes is not what American's do.

NO! I am scared of what the republican's might say or do. Rush is a meanie..

Other.. Please share your words of wisdom

In an article recently posted at The New Republic Bruce Bartlett discusses the rising tide of conservative support for the election of Barack Obama. This support reflects the deep divisions within various segments of the American conservative movement that have has little play in the MSM or in discussion forums on the political left.
What is becoming clear beyond my anecdotal discoveries is that there is a growing, almost viral discontent within the republican party and the conservative movement.

More below the fold.
