Actually, Ted, what they’re doing is forcing Nancy Pelosi and her hordes to take full responsibility for whatever dimbulb plan she tries to force through.

Which, as they know, means she won’t do anything. Pelosi is a twit, but even she knows that, if she pushes through this plan to nationalize mortgage debt and then leaves taxpayers on the hook for every bit of it, there won’t BE a Democrat Party when the dust clears. Hence, she won’t do anything until the House Republicans wil give her cover — and they’re not budging until she gives them what they want.

And McCain’s silence was damning. If he had said, “…hey, I’ve got to live with whatever deal you guys make, so here’s my position”; that would have been leadership. But to first make a big deal out of stopping the campaign, then to sit silent like a stone at the “great meeting” just looks bad.

And what does being a Mormon have to do with the credit crisis?

A madame is a woman who runs a whorehouse, an adequate description for what the Democrat Congress has become.

Right as usual, but I enjoy smacking him down.

Michaelpoopypants,

I never denied Pelosi would become speaker. Indeed, I was very uprfront that I feared she would.

GP,

michael – go play in traffic

yay!

THis is not good……

hang the corporate fascists by their dingleberries

My dear ignorant michael.

Corporations cannot be fascistic. Fascism is a form of government, it is when government controls the corporations, not when corporations control the government. do try to get that through your empty little head.

ya, ya,ya. it’s all the democrats fault. america isn’t buying that kwrap.

Sorry michael, even Bill Clinton admits Democrats are responsible for blocking Republican attempts to reform Fannie and Freddie. (about halfway through the video)

can you say: president obama????

No one will need to. Obama is barely tied in a race he was supposed to be winning in a landslide. Americans are seeing all the problems we face and saying to themselves, um, this unqualified, unaccomplished hack cant cut it. And as he showed in his race with Hillary, he isnt a closer.

Zogby says the race may well end up a landslide for John McCain And I think it just might too.

Things are tight, I paid a higher rate to avoid the ARM. While it gets easier now that my partner’s paying the utilities and the condo fee, at no time have I been behind. It’s tight, but in my means. Why should I be forced to bail out people who bet the farm and lost.

One problem I have with the gummint “making money” from this deal is that it won’t be returned to those of us who paid it… it will be used to inflate already bloated spending and we know that spending NEVER goes back down.

I agree with Bruce – too much incompetence and corruption.

One reform I’d like to see (won’t ever happen) is this: Congress-critters will have to abide by the same ethics rules observed by government employees and people who work for companies that get government contracts. I work for a company with sizable gummint contracts and the rules are quite strict – I would be reluctant to buy a Coke for a government employee.
