Phuking Republicans!

This stuff all cracks me up, people still actually belive that thier so called "vote" has anything to do with who wins these elections ??!! People are put into positions of power to represent the will of the people bottom line. Not thier own beliefs, beliefs of thier church, how they were brought up etc...even if they don't agree the will of the people are how they are supposed to vote. Not only do most of these guys not vote (unless there is some type of gain for them or thier individual districts which usuallly lines thier pockets all the same) when they do it's the will of the the group with the most cash not anything that has to do with any of us. Our current economic situation is a perfect example of how them listening to us is a joke. There are a very small small group of people in favor of this bailout 95% of the rest of us either don't want it or don't understand it yet they push along reguardless, they call themselves doing what they think we should want instead of what we actually do. The document started out as four pages and now once "the people" started to get interested it's this long 300 page book full of language no one can or is meant to understand except them. We all yell no..yet you wake up in the morning and hear they are still pressing forward against our wishes. Yet you belive you have any say whatsoever in who is the big cheese, the most powerful man in the free world Yea right. They're just keeping us all busy and feeling like we have a part. There is no republican and democrat red and blue or black and white it's green, money determines everything.....it's foolish to think otherwise. Well not foolish cause to each his own, just my thoughts.

Most of the country is against the bailout but it'll have to happen. They'll have to give Wall Street (and a bunch of other firms) the money or the consequences for everybody will be much worse.

You're right in your post about how things get passed even though the majority don't want them. It's like the Dubai Ports thing. Nobody could understand why Bush would insist on them being allowed to buy US ports. But Bush had no choice. America owes so much money it can't afford to show the world it isn't open for business to people with money, especially oil money. He couldn't afford to set a precedent so he had to take his lumps and stand up for the Arabs against America's wishes.

And there's every chance the bailout might not work btw. Whether the global financial system goes into total systemic meltdown is now beyond the control of the people who run the financial system. We 're going to see a bunch of hedge funds go bust now. One of them might be big enough to set things off. A bunch of foreign banks may decide to pull enough money out of the US and that will initiate collapse. There are a dozen things out of the financial system's control that might detonate the whole thing.

There could be a much better and effective bailout of the system than the one on offer. And we may see an eventual bailout v 2.0 that eventually works. But bailout of some kind there will have to be, otherwise things will get Depressingly bad. If we're lucky we can get away with just a severe recession for a year or three.

....I rest my case

What case is that?

[El Kabong]

The case that the Democrats have everything to do with the bad mojo in Fannie and Freddie and are directly responsible for the mess we're in right now! Ergo electing a democrat at this juncture especially an inexperienced one would be bad as they got us in this mess to begin with

How are the Democrats at fault for what Fannie and Freddie have done?

What is this "bad mojo" you speak of?

How is anything Fannie and Freddie have done responsible for the current crisis?

What do you think caused the current crisis?


You recently complained nobody ever asked you specific questions. Well those are specific questions. Can I have specific answers please?
