| Just so I am clear, The GOP in the last weeks of the Bush Presidency spent TWO TRILLION DOLLARS to bail out Wall Street and the rest of these jerk off companies who wasted OUR money on futures and speculative trading and basically caused this 2nd great Depression we are in today. When I read that our new leader Obama, who lo and behold, actually has ideas that might work to jump start our economy and put money in the hands of AMERICANS, rather than seedy businesses. What's the hold up you ask? Oh it is just a few Republican jerkoff's who think the President is doing enough for private interests groups! Excuse me, but private interest groups are what got us here in the first place. Let me say this one more time, if you vote republican and you DON'T make six figures, you are a moron! These people must have ignored the Liberal mandate that passed when Obama destroyed McCain. Again we already tried the conservative approach, and it was a FAILURE! Wake up people and start paying attention, are we really going to let a couple misguided fucks like the GOP tell us how our country needs to be run? I say Thee Nay! |

was it not the Republicans who got us into this mess? Yes. of course the Democrats had to vote for it! what was the other choice: to let those banks fail? it changes nothing that over the 8 years of the bush regime, they was so little oversight and so much deregulation that it allowed those financial companies to screw over the american people. of course you don't care your another of those neo conservatives with short memories who think that Bush was a great man!

I just want to start out by saying I’m more of a constitutionalist then a conservative; I strongly believe that the government’s roll in our lives should be limited. Secondly from reviewing the history of your post, I see that you’re obviously a man of very few words and I’m sure you use them both often. With that said lets move on to by question to you. Last time I checked the Republican Party didn’t have the power in either side of congress to pass anything on its own. When did this vote take place and what exactly was the bill number so I can go see a roll call on who voted yea and who voted nay?
No I’m actually an old conservative. I’ve been voting conservative since you were shitting green. So listen to Air America and try to learn a new catch phrase. I voted for Reagan and I am old enough to remember the mess of the Carter administration. Now I’m too young to be a Goldwater conservative so compared to that I guess I’m “NEO.” But anyway I blame both parties. As far as Bush goes I feel he was an OK President not my personal favorite but there has been better and worst.
