True Republicans (not the free-spending Bush repubs) turned against a government-sponsored bailout of private industry. It was the principle that galled them (as it did me). Such intervention goes against the very fiber of what it is to be an economically conservative Republican; that is, small government, low tax, and as little intervention in a free market society as possible. Big government, and a more interposing ideology is more typically the world of the Democrat.
