Certainly you personally verbalized opposition. No problem. Your stated beliefs are opposed to the bailouts, that's true. You have limited your responsibility to a considerable extent.

The policies you have consistently advocated are the reason the bailouts were deemed necessary. And you supported the people who did create the bailout. Actively, energetically, admirably supported both the policies and the people.

As an American I am responsible for Abu Ghraib. Even though I opposed that American war.

Even though I didn't vote for Bush.

Imagine how much more responsible are those who voted for Bush.

I believe that like it or not we all bear a responsibility for the actions of the groups to which we belong, even though we may have opposed those actions.

We are all going to suffer because of American Conservative monetary policies even though we may have opposed them, for instance.
