This post is in jest, a satire if you will. I just want you to know that. Conservatism is not a mental problem, and neither is liberalism, etc.

People are angry with Congress, or haven't you seen the latest approval numbers? They are particularly cheesed off at the House. Obama's numbers are very high by comparison.
You really think a doofus like Mitt Romney can beat Obama? We would be right back with Bush's policies, with a dose of Paul Ryan for flavor. Unless you are wealthy, we would be much worse off.
Yes I think that Mitt Romney can and will beat Obama. Well..... actually Obama has done a good job of beating himself already.
Whether I am wealthy or not it won't make any difference, because businesses will NOT invest while Obama is in office.
Obama invokes executive privilege; Panel votes to hold Holder in contempt
‘Fast and Furious’ dispute escalates on Capitol Hill
Writing for CBS news, Scott Paulson, declared, “With the president’s execution of executive privilege
regarding United States Attorney General Eric Holder’s ‘Fast and Furious’
gun-walking scandal, Obama has more than raised the curtain of doubt regarding
his self-proclaimed transparent administration.”
The rest is a shopworn RW talking point.
Taxing the rich is not going to pay for Obama's spending spree.
That I understand...What I am saying is DEMS Passed all that when They had the Control to Block it....So DEM's as Well as Bush...Not JUST Bush as everyone makes Out...
ODUMBO had the DEM Congress for 2-years to Get His Crap through and The DEM's Did Not do a Thing, Nor Did ODUMBO, to Correct this rollercoaster Ride..Nor Did they Put a halt to Fannie and Freddie....
Add to that the fact that Bush vetoed almost everything the Dems tried to pass, including stem-cell research, of all things, and nothing could get done to head off the impending disaster. It was years before Dodd-Frank would pass, and it was relatively toothless except for the consumer protection bureau, which should have had Elizabeth Warren as its first director.
Goes back to Franks and Dodd, with Fannie and Freddie...
Both Side had many chances to head off the Crash....Guaranteed FED Backing Of Fannie and Freddie, led to the Whole House of Cards coming down...Loans that could not be paid back by Low Income Families, ARM's, Investing Into Fannie and Freddie, by Morgan Stanley, JPM, the Banks and Lending Institutions, that led to Sub Prime Loans...
Franks and Dodd, kept Assuring Investigating Committies, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007....Everything Was Fine, Freddie and Fannie were Solvent..Nothing to Worry About...
A casino mentality was established on Wall Street, which led to the subprime fiasco, and to the bundling of toxic mortgages into securities sold to firms like Fannie and Freddie with the approval of S&P;, which gave the securities their AAA rating. Enter the hedge funds, which bet on the securities to fail, a sure bet which made billionaires of men like John Paulson. You also forgot to mention the contributions of derivatives and credit default swaps, and the culpability of Goldman Sachs, AIG, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, and Countrywide, which began the subprime lending.
When the mortgage-backed securities failed, they took down firms like Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, and caused the housing market to collapse and the stock market to crash. AIG did not have the cash to cover the policies they had written, and the entire system might have collapsed if not for TARP.
You give Chris Dodd and Barney Frank too much credit. When all the damage was being done, the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress, and neither man was a committee chairman yet. The Senate bankin...

You give Chris Dodd and Barney Frank too much credit. When all the damage was being done, the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress, and neither man was a committee chairman yet. The Senate banking committee chairman was Phil Gramm, of Gramm-Leach-Bliley fame. Neither Dodd nor Frank had much influence, and neither had any power.
The first obvious solution? Reinstate Glass-Steagall.
This was a very brief sketch of the events of the 2000's. You need to forget all the GOP graphics and talking points and learn a few facts. They are not hard to find.
Also sorry, I meant to hit no.
RON PAUL SUPPORTERS.....FOR SOME ODD REASON THEY FEEL PAUL IS GOING TO WIN.
but like I say A VOTE FOR PAUL IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA.
The only thing I can say about a Democrat is that they lie so much that the believe their own lies.
I guess someone got pissed because I didn't sugar coat my words.
