If the Congress had done the right thing to start with and bailed out nobody ......... then no one would be arguing about who should be bailed out.

These bastards who profited from their leverage games (and have hundreds of millions in their bank accounts to prove it) were bailed out ...... in China, they would have probably been arrested, stripped of their assets, tried in public and hanged.

Too bad the USA is more corrupt than China.

Leaving the US investment scene and planning to invest approx the same amt we are investing in the bailout on infrastructure ....... placing them far ahead of us in their modernizing of their roads, electrical grids, mass transit, etc ...... something of use to the people ....

While we invest in bailing out a bunch of criminals who filled their bank accounts when things were good and now expect to receive a good portion of what little is left for more diversion into their pockets ....

No matter what you do to it ......

Can destroy and cleanse the corrupt self-serving edifice of American politics.

Sex is between the ears ....... and the imagination is a great driving force.

Thru the 50's, the largest exposure a male could get to sex (other than his wife or girlfriend) was thru Playboy and that was breasts only.

Nude and semi-nude bodies are now everywhere from porn on the internet to Victoria's Secret Primetime shows.

Curiosity and imagination have been crushed by the onslaught.

A more "Puritan" atmosphere would bring back the "mystique" of sex.

Men pay women - either prostitutes or "dates" (who they still have to pay thru movies, meals, time, etc) to take clothes off ...... not put them on ...... you fools ....

"The perfectly coiffed politician is under arrest, sunk by his own vanity. But what did you expect? He's an Illinois governor"

And what are we to infer from this statement about Illinois politicians in general and Illinois congressmen in particular ???

And unfortunately for most, it only takes the right conditions/history and legitimization by the govt/culture to justify it release.

"Free Market" and "Freedom To Consume" ....... both selfish lies and rationalizations .......... too bad the human race will fail because it seeks not a higher state of consciousness ....

Inexpensive gas ..... and the price is artificially low now which sends the wrong message.

More expensive gasoline will remove large heavy inefficient vehicles from the road (except where needed for work functions).

Including any man or woman that marries for money or status - they simply just have one john.

40 Million Americans have no health insurance .....

Every other industrialized country in the world has some sort of nationalized health care.

Employers are made non-competitive by having to pay employees insurance.

US health care system is listed 37th (down with "3rd world countries") by WHO due to lack of access by those who cannot afford.

Trash ......

Kill them all.

Consuming materialists convinced of their right to consume and be entertained.

Their soulessness and the harvest of meaninglessness and now upon them.

If Obama doesn't deliver, the country will be ripe for a third party.

The word democracy means nothing.

An Article V Convention, guaranteed by the Constituion, has been denied by Congress.

Lobbyists are still allowed to placed their diseased feet upon publicly owned property.

Congress continues to vote itself raises and have benefits that other americans do not have.

Both parties at the state and national level continue with archaic regulations meant to discourage the rise of third parties.

A National Referendum System (like Switzerland has) is needed to bypass the corrupt and cowardly Congress.

As an example, 99 out of every 100 calls to Congress about the bailout were against it.

Democracy ????? Go back to your dream world.

Like turds in water ....

Than the american patriot consumer mad dog materialists who trampled and killed a person in Walmart so they could get a "good deal" on some inanimate object. Bereft of consciousness and soul.

Just like the Wall Street thieves but at a lower level.

Paralleling illegal downloading and pirating of copyrighted materials .....

This slowly crashing culture has produced a generation without ethics ...... they will reap the crushing results as corporations and the govt apply the same lack of respect to their private lives and their peers raise no objections because they truly don't see how wrong it is.

"The Clintonites in his Cabinet, forgiveness for Lieberman, the creeping signs of centrism -- progressives aren't ready to panic, yet"

They should be ....... be very afraid.

do they talk about things which are imaginary as if they are real and shun the reality of what they truly create around them.

He talked everyone into the lemon called Nafta and at who's request do you think ???? ..... the dealerships owner (the corporate rich) ....

20 years ago, Obama could have passed for a moderate republican.

Which only shows how far to the right the country moved under Bush .... to fascism.

Such an extreme position has skewed our perception of others ......having moved all terms toward the right ......most people can't see the relativism of the country's views.

We don't need any more professional politicians ...... however "qualified" they may be.

Obama's message of change should mean bringing in new people with a fresh perspective outside the "inbred" phenomena that Washington has become.

If it is simply a political appointment to appease members of the party, what makes him any different than anyone else?

About something considered important in their culture.

Being lied to is reason enough to end a marriage .....get a lawyer.

One day the american people will awaken from their conditioning and realize that they have no need of paupers dressed as kings and queens ......... that these parasites need them ...... they do not need the career politicians.

On that day, they will begin to dismiss these cretins at will.

Represent the average american ........ they represent vested interests.

How could they know what they average american thinks as they never associate with them on a real life level.

Washington, DC should be isolated, quarantined and then fumigated.

Self-righteous, self-important, worthless assholes.
