Please Go Away–II

Oh he could be going away….to jail for crimes against the constitution. But Joke Line you and your ilk don’t believe in people being held to account for their actions if they are rich and powerful. So why should we give a sh*t about you being upset that the man is exercising his first amendment right? At least he isn’t torturing anybody….at the moment.

Who the f–k is Andrew Card?

Oh and whatever happened to that update you promise from your post saying Susan Rice had made a “rookie mistake?”

Card continued, “I don’t criticize Obama for his appearance, I do expect him to send the message that people who are going to be in the Oval Office should treat the office with the respect that it has earned over history.”

The level of respect left in the place by Little Bush would call for bare feet and wife beater undershirts. Obama’s code certainly rises several levels above that.

Is this really what Andrew Card has to care about? Whether Obama was a frigging tie to the office or not? That is the MOST important thing occupying his time? It must be nice.

Flag pin. Hey Andy-your guy wore a suit an tie and took a daily crap on the entire country.

Klein found the cash bar in the Admirals Club, again.

The Borgen Project has some good info on the cost of addressing global poverty.

$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
$550 billion: U.S. Defense budget

Frankly, I would have preferred that the Bush administration had decided to show their respect for the constitution by following it rather than putting a Jacket over it and strangling it with a tie.
.
But having said that, isn’t there some unwritten rule about not bashing the previous administration for at least a year? And if this is so why are their comments being sought out?
.
Where is Obama’s honeymoon Joe? What’s so different about the Obama administration that justifies him not getting a honeymoon period?
.
First the media practically denies Obama a transition period beause Bush was awol and they needed Obama to hold their hands everyday until the inauguration — Now the msm wants to claim his presidency a failure after two-weeks because the Republcans have forgotten how to behave like Americans.
.
Give me a break — where’s the honeymoon?

BTW: Vegas odds now 5-3 that Leo Paschetta will be dropped like a bad speaking engagement in Time for the Sunday chat tables.

As light in the loafers as president select Skippy comes across, he should at least be less wear and tear on the carpets than Clixon.

Even if with the same basic staff of onerous hippiecraps.

Not that there’s anything right with that.

Durbin just handed DeMint his azz.

I don’t mean to imply that Obongo’s gay, to be clear.

He just stylishly struts hard forward, to keep from getting blown away by any little political breeze, I suppose.

Fast on his way to his next bad vetting, most likely.

“Durbin just handed DeMint his azz.”

Turbin couldn’t hand Helen Keller a cane without a federal mandate.

“But having said that, isn’t there some unwritten rule about not bashing the previous administration for at least a year?”

That was before Carter & Clixon.

Enjoy the CHANGE.

Light in the loafers?
In floor debate this morning on the stimulus bill, Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) accused Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) of being “theatrical.” He responded by being, well, theatrical.

Anyone heard from Hillary the last two weeks?

You’d think with all the dismal failures that Obama’s seen during that Time that alot of DNC regulars might be seriously reconsidering her, for 2012.

She did get more of the popular vote than Obama, of course.

Paul-no not the one
………….

Booboo Boxer should stick to burning down the houses in the Southland, since that’s her legacy — and she does it so well, and so often.

PNNTO
.
Did you not think she was basically calling him a beyatch? Man that was great. And he looked so prissy in his comeback. I am telling you that the Dems have been on the war path today. They kicked McCain in the nuts repeatedly today until by the end of the day he was back to looking like he did the last month of his campaign.

hulagate is certainly theatrical. Is it light in the loafers as well? Get out the cane.

SG I saw the clip at TPM and was actually laughing. Bad form for the office.
Glad to see the push back.

hulagate — there is such a thing called decorum and class. It is obvious that the GOP has none and you champion that deficiency. Fortunately, you are relegated to cyberspace where you live a life of lonely despair. Because I doubt if you use cutlery either.

I hate breaking my own rules.
-
Anyone heard from Hillary the last two weeks?
-
She’s at Foggy Bottom. Doing, you know, her job,and stuff. That she got confirmed for. But thanks for playing, now let the grown-ups talk.

For all the fine dress standards we had two well below standard oafs occupying the top two offices in our country. Message for Andy: dress is no substitute for character and integrity.

I was thinking I was in KT’s blog about the Repub/Taliban consolidation when I mentioned getting out the cane. Appropriate here, too, I guess.

Why ruin a good cane?

“Fortunately, you are relegated to cyberspace where you live a life of lonely despair.”

Sorry, I was re-working the latest Solis tax cheating numbers down in the basement.

What was that about despair?

.
Cliff: Who the f–k is Andrew Card?
.
A former Bushie now vying for the late Richard Blackwell’s gig. Next up: Alberto Gonzales’ critique of the White House lunch menu.

Journalism isn’t complaining about something some member of the Bush administration said, whether it was something stupid, grotesque or venially mendacious. Those MFs need to be investigated and brought to justice, and a journalist who took his job seriously could help to bring that about.
Joe Klein is just snarling about nothing.

Ok poking textee is kinda fun but can we stop feeding this other troll? The combination of pagination and its long ass nonsensical posts give me headaches.
.
Purty please?

I think it’s appropriate to have an expectation that there will be a dress code that respects the office of the President.
.
Two words, Andy Card: Jeff Gannon.

A friend of mine, who worked w/Card while he was Secretary of DOT, says; “he was kindly, and as thoughtful as his limited capacity allowed…”
.

Some change, that one.

MOVE ON indeed.

Hey, Andy: the days of presidential dress-up are over.

Give me a break — where’s the honeymoon?
.
Guess it’s over. On Fresh Air today, Douglas Brinkley said Obama had to stop thinking about re-election and focus on leading.
.
I shouted it is FIFTEEN D!@# days at my radio.

“Who the f–k is Andrew Card?”
.
So how many people are left who still call themselves Republicans? And do you intend to tell them all to go away, one at a time?

Good grief! What’s it to Andy Card what anyone wears in the Oval Office now? There’s a new sheriff in town. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out…

ivb, I find myself shouting at NPR a lot lately. I didn’t used to do that. As I drove to town yesterday, I heard an interview on NPR with Gov. Pawlenty (R-MN), in which he offered repuglican economic “wisdom” without any reality based pushback at all – not a word. That was followed by a conversation with political reporter, and Faux News hack Juan Williams on Obama’s bad day. I mentioned this to a friend, who told me that “Yesterday I got treated to a lengthy interview on NPR with Sen. DeMint of South Carolina. This morning it was an interview with someone arguing that the New Deal was actually harmful to the economy.”
.
NPR helping the repuglicans do what they do best . . .
.
And Brinkley is full of it. Obama is/was trying to bring a new tone to DC, the way he did on the campaign. That turned out to be a mistake, at least in the short term, but it was the right thing to try.

Republican from the Bush era (in any capacity) = instant audience from the MSM. And they lap it up like my cat did yesterday when I spilled half and half on the floor.

Its easy to wear a jacket when you aren’t doing sh*t. Guys who do work now when to take their jacket off and get er done. Hence the term “rolling up their sleeves”. Andy Card needs to worry more than keeping a jacket on where he will end up if AG Holder gets those secret memos released to the public. If Joke Line was really any kind of journalist he would have a FOIA request in like yesterday for that info

“Good grief! What’s it to Andy Card what anyone wears in the Oval Office now?”
.
Is it me or does this somewhat resemble in spirit if not in deed the cartoons of Blacks in Congress during reconstruction with their bare feet on the desk eating fried chicken — wasn’t the goal to show that blacks didn’t respect the institution.

SG– I’ve been posting everywhere hoping to get this over with today: Let me start by saying oops, my bad, I owe you an apology, I was wrong and I hold my head down in shame. You do remember that whole McCain/Lieberman nexus I was pushing right?

“Republican from the Bush era (in any capacity) = instant audience from the MSM. And they lap it up like my cat did yesterday when I spilled half and half on the floor.”
.
Yes but the MSM is lapping up vomit, not half and half,…more like my dog.

Just saw an update of Justice Ginsberg’s condition on ABC. The cancer was caught very early on a routine visit – she had colon cancer 10 years ago. It sounded very good, and I’m encouraged.

Apparently hulagate got home early from his job slingin’ hamburgers at the local Mickey D and decided to light up Swampland with his usual incoherant rants.

Hulagate, get a job that pays more and you’ll have more self respect and maybe a life.

wvng – thanks for the info. But I also ask this question about people like the Congressional Republicans or various pundits.
.
Like when I read that they were talking to Joe the Plumber about economic matters, I stopped and asked myself, “Who the f–k are these people and why are they running the country?”
.
Try it. The next time you see, I don’t know, Glenn Beck, stop and ask, “Who the f–k is this guy and why is anyone pretending that he knows anything?”

There they go again, just like Repugnants, more interested in form than substance. Card and Cheney clearly don’t get it…which once again is why they are out of office. GO AWAY IS SO RIGHT ON! Can someone please get this message to the remants in the US Senate. You guys screwed up. Left a mess and should get out of the way of the stimulus bill…pack of flippin’ fools!

Someone tell Andrew Card it’s not about looking good, it’s about being competent, doing research, talking to someone besides only those who agree with you and actually taking action on something in a timely manner.

Oh I forgot, those suits and ties really helped the Bush administration stay on top of the Katrina disaster!

The adults are back in charge in the White House Andy… live with it!!!

Dee
.
Sweetie I already responded in another thread. You know its all good. You and I agree on enough that when we disagree I don’t trip. I just wish President Obama would have thrown Lieberman out with the trash when he had the chance. If he doesn’t vote for this bill I am going to be PISSED! There was a report out that he and McCain were going to skip the vote. It better not be true.

I missed your response — but I was making sure I got out in front of this. As soon as saw the McCain stimulus package, I was steadying myself for a Lieberman vote in favor of it.
.
These people have lost all perspective and forgotten what it means to be American at this point. So since we are swimming in uncharted waters now. If I was Obama I would stop inviting them over or at least if he he is going to entertain Republicans have a food and drink taster i the room at all times.

Yes but the MSM is lapping up vomit, not half and half,…more like my dog.
-
My metaphor is a bit more palatable. But you beat me on substance there Shep.

Obama really ought to be practicing what he preaches. Wasn’t it Saint Barck de HopeChange who helpfully informed us that we couldn’t set our thermostats high? And now he keeps the heat up in the White House so that it’s uncomfortable to wear a suit in the Oval Office.

Well, I guess we should be happy that there’s no cigar play in there.

Bush in a tuxedo… yes, indeed. I’d go so far as to say that Obama could come down to his home office dressed as the Gimp (Pulp Fiction) and he’d still be the better president. Or at least a thong and pasties.
~
But as a man who had a fever of 102.33 last night, I’m not at all clear-headed.

I’m continually surprised at the venom and personal attacks I see on this board. I guess it’s common across the internet, but I don’t understand what people get out of this.
.
I also don’t understand why people issue such personal attacks against Klein. You may disagree with him, but that doesn’t mean you have to personally attack him.
.
I see the same posters over and over on this board. I have no idea how some of you have so much time to post. Don’t any of you have jobs?
.
Some posters seem to be divorced from political reality. I hated Bush and Chaney as much as anybody else, but investigations are not happening and there will be no prosecutions. It doesn’t matter how I feel about this. It’s just like the right thinking they can get abortion made illegal nationwide–not happening.
.
This post wasn’t even about that, but some people just can’t help themselves.

Can I point and laugh at Spob or is that out of bounds?

right again,Joe.

jake2008, you may be too gentle a soul to visit Swampland. As far as the personal attacks on Klein, he’s a big boy. He no doubt has been attacked by far more powerful people on this planet than any of us peons here on Swampland.

yutsano, I don’t see how my comment is worthy of ridicule. It certainly is within the bounds of legitimate opinion to think that Obama’s lack of suit has something to do with his “do as I say, not as I do” admonitions re: heat. Moreover, since we’re talking about the dignity of the Oval Office, perhaps we can remember how the last Dem president treated it.

Ahh the old rightwing canard: blame Clinton (or in this case associate with). To be honest your assertion is absolutely absurd, for all you know Obama works better in a cold room. Get exact thermostat readings from the Oval Office then get back to me.

I see the same posters over and over on this board. I have no idea how some of you have so much time to post. Don’t any of you have jobs?
.

.
You’re right, jake2008. I will cease excessive posting immediately and start displaying respect towards all authority figures.
Thank goodness we have you around to remind us of proper Internet behavior.

Is jake2008 really Joke Line in drag?

“My metaphor is a bit more palatable.”
.
Sorry for the imagery, yutsano. Watching what’s happening gives me the exact same feeling.

This post wasn’t even about that, but some people just can’t help themselves.
.
As has been observed here before, the best comedy writes itself.
.
Probably the best short description of hulagate ever.

Jake2008, there’s a bit of crankiness in the air this week – something about watching politicians being, well, politicians, and more people being thrown out of work, still without healthcare, political appointees being tripped up by their own stupidity or greed, and Army suicide rates that took an ‘alarming’ (WTF? how many additional suicides does it take to be alarming? I’m pretty sure I don’t wanna know – it just hurts to think about the families who’ve just been torn apart.)
.
In addition, Blago/bloviate is still on my tv saying he’s misunderstood…
.
Maybe more better next week…

The easy money mortgage mess which precipitated the current market meltdown was a DEMOCRAT party concoction, from partial Fannie birth.

Still little such news from the MSM, of course.

That would be sooooooooooooooooooooo against their agenda.

jake has some astute observations up above at 7:25. Dare I add that politicians are politicians. The only road there is one of deceit and theft. There, I said it. Which is to imply that I hold my breath hoping that Obama himself isn’t found one day with his pants down. The only reason I stay with the Dems is that the Repubs beyond stealing add the further insult of monitoring your bed and morals all the while stalking the stalls in airport men’s rooms. Anyway, jake makes a cogent point of the venom that flows here sometimes.
.
As for Joe, he could not care less. His bank account is healthy and not even subject to the economic whims which affect us proletariats. He lives in that rareified atmosphere that most can only read about, and that is the cause of the problems we face now.

I agree with formerlyjames, there’s no need for the republicans to beat up on us since we lib’s seem to practice cannibalism on such a frequent basis.

Sorry, I’m on a tear apparently.
.
Aren’t we supposed to be the inclusive party? You know, the folks who are supposed to welcome everyone into their tent? African American? Sure, come on in! Gay? You bet! AA and gay? Welcome! Muslim? Ummmmm, okay, yeah, we’re not afraid!
.
But gawd forgive those who slip up or express views at the other end of our political spectrum (which is, of course, the only worthy political spectrum. Just ask us, we’ll tell you. Then we’ll eat you and call you names.)
.
Sorry, I’m 47 and naiive. And I refuse to be anything but optimistic that we can be better.

mmchampion, go on the tear, man. I am cheering.

Celebrate good times, come on!
It’s a celebration
Celebrate good times, come on!
Let’s celebrate
.
“News Corp. reported a huge quarterly loss on Thursday and chairman Rupert Murdoch, citing a “grim economic climate,” began cutting jobs at his sprawling media empire…News Corp. reported a 6.41 billion dollar loss in the second quarter of its fiscal year compared with an 832 million dollar net profit in the corresponding quarter a year ago.”
http://rawstory.com/news/afp/News_Corp_cuts_jobs_after_huge_quar_02052009.html

hulagate, divorced from reality as usual. The meds hulagate, the meds… remember to take them before you post.

I would remind you that delusion in the defense of Republican malfeasance is indeed a vice.

The question is which happens first News Corp goes under or Murdock kicks the bucket.

Sniff, thanks formerlyjames. Now I’m just sitting in the forest waiting to be devoured.
.
Hulagate is a bit of an incoherent rant sometimes but even he has worthy things to contribute. Sometimes. I’m sorry, I can’t remember the book I used to read to my kids but it was about a monster that tried to scare everyone and finally some little kid discovered how to accept him – and he told everyone “I just think he wanted to be noticed.” When I ask hulagate a straightforward question he answers with back-up information and provides it eloquently. Unfortunately he sometimes randomly rants and I just scroll past. The same as I do when I recognize other people’s rants (even when they are airing the same opinions I share.)
.
This is an anonymous forum – we can be as awful or as good as we want. But, we risk losing insight and empathy for the rest of our forum when we start to nom.

Murdock came from down under, didn’t he? I would be more encouraged if the report cited a 42% drop in idiocy in America, which would result in the total shut down of Faux Knews as well as most churches. The Vatican will be safe, of course. Thanks, cinci, for the encouraging knews. Is this venom, which I have previously pontificated against? Maybe.

Why didn’t Olbermann broadcast Obama’s speech?

So, Fox News is seeing declines?

mmchamprion, I agree again. Blot your tears. I enjoy all input here. Occasionally, there is even a coherent “conservative” person worth attention. A rare species but it happens.

formerlyjames
Wasn’t it hard to follow “coherant” with the term “conservative”?

I do believe coherant conservative and the ivory billed woodpecker share the same folklore. Some think it still survives and some claim to have heard it, but no one can prove it exists.

formerlyrainbow68, I believe Fox News is seeing a decline, perhpas steeper than the other news organizations out there. Perhaps it’s because of their relentless negativity wrt telling people how hopeless it is right now.
.
Too many expected all of the injustices to fixed in the first few weeks. Though I don’t recall that as being the message that was stated on inauguration day. Something more like “it’s going to be a long hard slog and things are going to get crappier before we can think of them getting better.”
.
In the meantime, Bush/Cheney are walking free, Army suicides have gone up, more people have lost their jobs, etc…
.
And, here is where I get hopeful, Guantanamo is scheduled for closure, the repub’s are starting to be exposed for their ‘politics over people’ policies, and apparently, Alberto is still looking for a job ‘because the economy is bad’. We all know why the economy is bad and we all know that’s not why he can’t find a job so…

newfloridian, it depends on what “coherant” and “conservative” mean. As to the existance of either, I vaguely recall from my youth having seen both, but I am not sure. I have definately seen an ivory billed woodpecker. He was operating a rock crushing machine in a diamond mine in a place I cannot remember.

mmchampion, add stem cell research, women’s reproductive choice, prohibition of torture, double up on repubs exposure for being destructive losers. I hope it gets even better.

I believe all of this drama will be short-lived. Obama will get his stimulus package, Repubs will be on record as having opposed it and the chips will fall where they may. Most fair-minded people realize there is a huge learning curve when you first become President. Maybe it was a little much, quickly, but most Americans would rather support him than write him off this early. Also, Obama is coming off an unusually long primary season and the death of a beloved family member/mentor. Shouldn’t he be given a little leeway?

formerlyjames,

Those flashbacks from the 60′s can be hell!

me too formerlyjames.
.
I never thought of him as the new messiah, I just figured he was quite likely the most intelligent, pragmatic, and ego-less (e.g. willing to have people who don’t share the same opinions around him) presidential candidate that I’d ever heard about.
.
And he was very right, it’s going to get a whole lot crappier before it gets better. h/t to JK for bringing up Andrew Card. The country is in a shambles and he’s worried about a suit coat? What a wonderful reminder (metaphor) for what our country has gone through. It made me relieved to hear that those who ran our country were just as dense as I thought they were. My father used to spread fertilizer on our tiny patch of lawn in his suit coat and tie. It just never occurred to him to go without it – in spite of the financial and personal havoc our family was going through. It’s s symbol, but not a very meaningful symbol when everything else has gone to he!l.

oh yeah, and Lily Ledbetter, bless her heart!!!

I worked for a corporation that considered talking about salaries as being a firing offense. Needless to say, if I was inequitably paid, I never knew about it. And as the single mom (sans child support – he kept changing jobs/getting fired) of two teens with engineering school loans to pay off, I could’ve used the extra funds. I took on a second job when I realized I couldn’t afford the soccer fees for them (let alone the extra shoes and uniforms.)
.
Times are better now but McCain and SCOTUS voted Lily down and Obama signed the papers making it illegal to unfairly compensate in his FIRST WEEK.
.
Yeah, there’s more to be done but can we be positive about something at least?

mmchampion: I think one of the reasons it’s going to get worse first is that we as a country have so much personal debt. I have dear friends and family members who literally had the phrase “No regrets!” as their mantra to justify lavish living on a modest budget. We have some debt, too, but have really tightened up lately and will have three bills paid off at month’s end. Hallelujah! I think the difference between now and other recessions is that we didn’t act like prior generations and save. My husband and I have tried to stay debt-free, but car repairs, etc. have always done us in. I don’t think the stimulus package may help we Americans right away because we have spent ourselves into having no financial margins. Obama didn’t create that. I hear a lot about how greedy the 80s were (when I was growing up). The 80s had nothing on the last 10 years of having to have the correct purse, shoe, car, subdivision, I could go on. I remember several years ago when my family and extended family took all of our kids to Disney World. My aunt was telling an acquaintance how we saved money by staying at Econo Lodge and bringing our own breakfasts and snacks. The lady looked at my aunt like she was a bug and sniffed, “Oh, good for you.” We’re (our country)is spoiled and broke. It’s going to take a while for old bad habits to break. I now admire my parents and grandparents more than I ever have. They didn’t buy if they didn’t have cash.

Formerlyrainbow, I know. When I hear everyone fussing about how folks will use a ‘windfall’ just to pay off debt I think that they’ve never lived paycheck to paycheck with a crappy car and kids who need clothes and food and money for school field trips.
.
Many folks are drowning in debt and are now doing their best to dig out. A bill reducing usurious credit fees would be helpful. People pay off high interest credit cards and then use the extra money to buy food, help with their rent, take the kids to the matinee. It goes back into the economy a whole lot faster than Congress realizes.

Crickets.
.
Relax everyone. I found my stepstool and will now climb off my soapbox.
.
Just please remember, the lib’s are supposed to be the optimistic/inclusive/open-minded folks.
.
Now go away or I will taunt you again (and take up way too many comment spaces.)

mmchampion: I agree. It’s so funny you mention a car and field trip. I have to have my son’s permission slip + cash tomorrow. That doesn’t include food and souvenirs. As far as cars go, mine is an older Toyota. When I brought it in for an oil change and tire rotation a couple of weeks ago, my name was called and I was ushered into a room away from everyone else and told, “Your car is in great condition! However…” Several hundred dollars and an hour later, I left with my car. That was put on credit card. We are trying to build up savings and retire all of our debt, but we have 2 kids and I think life will be expensive for the foreseeable future. But, as a country we will have to sacrifice like the President says. We’ve got to get out of our personal financial messes and our national one. I guess that is what makes this ridiculous game of chicken the Senate is playing so maddening!

I am delighted that Pres. Obama laid it on the line. He has compromised enough. At this point the Repugnicants should be sent to the timeout corner and shut up. Let’s remind them again and again, they made this mess; their tax cutting, trickle down, unregulated market policies DO NOT work. Now give it up and get a few votes to get this bill out of the Senate and passed.

Snow and Collins…ladies do you know where you live? Vote to move this bill. You know it is the right thing to do!

As for Lieberwhatsis….I wonder how his constituents in Connecticut feel about his commitment to ole buddy McCain superceding their interests? What’s with that? Too bad its a 6-year term or he’d be done next year.

Pres Obama is absolutely right…what exactly did you think a stimulus bill was intended to do? The overwhelming view of the leading economists is that the government has to spend to fill the gap of private sector and personal spending. Tax cuts and the little mortgage gambit don’t work when millions are making NO money. NO MONEY!

Pack of flipping Repugnicant fools, they still haven’t gotten the message! As my dear granddaddy always said: “Democrats always get a bum rap because they have to come in to clean up the mess Repugnicants make.” And so it goes. The question is for Card, Cheney and their obstructionist friends in Congress: Have you no shame?

oh crap, is that a stepstool? Hey, I found it again.
.
Rainbow68, I hardly ever carry cash because I was sure that when I walked in the door the kids could smell it (hey! is that a ten? oooh, it’s a twenty!) and would promptly present me with some piece of paper from their school that said they needed ‘x’ dollars for something like a field trip or whatever. I also drive a Toyota becuase Consumer Reports keeps saying they’re reliable and I was the person on the side of the road with two car seats in the back too many times. It gets better (and if you’re awful and strict enough to them in high school they won’t want to move back (that includes no nintendo (or whatever it is now) and slow internet rates for surfing porn (I wondered why all the boys in the neighborhood hung out at our house for awhile.))
.
Like all families, it will get better with time.
.
But keep the Toyota just in case.
.
And now adieu, I have netflix. We now return you to our regularly scheduled feeding frenzy.

Thanks mmchampion, enjoy your movie. Good night everyone.

Given his military expertise, maybe Field Marshall Klein will offer suggestions on the uniforms worn by the United States military.

…………….

Why do my kids have to pay for your financial screwups?

Or your smoking habit?

Your over-easting?

Boozing?

Sexing?

Group mental hug sessions?

Or do you intend to pay my taxes and medical fees, as part of some loose change grand bargain with loads of hot D.C. Mall air if very little solid American math?

Liberals are great at invoking separation of church & hate when it suits their irresponsibility (hello Teddy Kennedy), but loathe the leave the largess of ship behind when it might entail something beyond early retirement on the socialist loon dime.

There’s plenty of blame to go around for the current mess.

Let us not make it worse by piling more stupid federal debt onto a lot of stupid personal debt.

hulagate: First of all leave Kennedy alone. He’s dying, for pete’s sake. Next, I don’t have financial screwups. Just credit card debt due to car repairs and life. I will have it paid off by March 1. I believe the stimulus bill does need work. I believe giving the middle class some sort of tax break is appropriate, at least until things get better. I was just saying that we as a country have gotten ourselves into trouble by spending like drunken sailors. It was Bush who had the auto bailout, if you’ll remember.
