Scrambling To Cover Their Asses

They're allscrambling to cover their collective asses on this. They're ALL guilty. Dems and Repubs. I'm from California. I've written my Congressperson and both my Senators. Not that a letter to Dianne Feinstein will do any good. Her husband is a profiteer from this war and you know SHE's going to move FAST to protect her RICH BUTT! More bad legislation with no oversight or recourse. Politicians who won't stand up for what's right, even in an election year. We're fucked.

I've said it since 1999, before George Whore Bush stole the Presidency. If he came into power, we're all doomed. It has come to fruition. I've been called unpatriotic, stupid, mean spirited, but I was RIGHT about this administration. It's not over yet either. The majority of Americans are stupid, lazy, complacent, and have bought into all the myths. If you don't believe me, just ask some white guy how much he likes Sarah Palin!!!!! These same stupid Americans are going to elect McCain and Palin. They're going to give the VERY RICH yet another free ride with no controls. The rats on Wall Street are REALLY praying to Jesus. The same Jesus who supports Obama, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Hill and Bill, the Republicans, Pat Robertson, Ralph Reed, Jack Abramoff (well maybe not him..) Tom Delay,Newt Gingrich, and the rest.

What will they do after this? After the sound bytes are forgotten and the election is over???? They're going to want to dismantle Social Security and hand it over to these same Wall Streeters as a reward for their greed. Prove me wrong! Prove me wrong!

We're fucked.

Is There Anyone Who

DOESN"T believe that the clowns in charge in Washington and New York aren't going to fuck this up too?

But hurry and don't read anything and pass this thing so the very rich aren't kept waiting too long for their welfare/bailout checks.

Original article: The Obama/Barr debate

Yes, Let's Open up the Debates

To the Libertarians, the Green Party. We already know the Dem and Repub positions. Let's hear from someone who HASN'T had their hands in creating this mess.

A Coup In The Works?

I agree that we're being setup for something. Of course McCain wants to take advantage of this situation because he's gonna look like a bufoon during the debates.

Something more sinister is going on here. I'm afraid we are in the midst of another neocon coup. Maybe the final phase of it. The Bushes want to hand over the US Treasury to the very people who drove the economy into the ground! No controls, no responsibility to do the right thing, NO ACCOUNTABILITY whatsoever! Push through bad legislation handing them everything. They won't need another 9/11 terrorist attack when they can just walk in, get a new set of keys and finish taking over.

Suspend the election, that's the final step. Suspend the campaign, that's the first step. That's the crisis needed for the neocons to complete their coup. Create the crisis. Suspend the elections, suspend the constitution, President for Life. President Cheney. That is fucking frightnening!!!!!

Mr. Obama needs to press on. On both fronts. Keep up the campaign AND fly to Washington to work on stopping this take over. It will prove once and for all he has the capability of leading the country and hopefully shut the yaps of the right wing talk radio assholes and their allies.

The Depths of Their Greed

700 billion will probably not be enough. Banks don't even know the full extent of their bad paper, let alone trying to guess what other banks and institutions are carrying. And of course no one trusts anyone.

Which brings us to Washington. You know that somewhere in there we've been sold up the river by the neocons and the other assholes in Congress who let this happen in the first place. It is no longer an understatement to say they'd sell out their own grandmother to save what's left of their pathetic little souls.

Maybe They Read the Emails

I know I sent my congressperson and Senators (not that Dianne Feinstein can be counted on to do the right thing) telling them not to vote for this bill. No golden parachute payments, LOTS of oversight and control, full equity stake for the money paid out so we may one day reap back what is being 'loaned'.

The only way I could make money on my 401K would be to take out a loan and pay myself back in interest, otherwise it's nowhere near what it was worth a year ago. I am probably going to be working until the day I drop dead.

Fuck them and I hope they lose everything and have to start over just like so many other Americans. Americans who are still stupid enough to vote these bastards back in office.
