Sorry, Why NOT elect Ketner.

Given the choice between economic calamity and a giant leap towards socialism, give me the pain. The question going around the 1st district today is “If the dems are going to keep control of the House, why elect Ketner and have a rep in the majority?”
I hope Henry redeems himself on the next vote.

Does Pelosi look like she’s shanking Bush to you? Look at her face, and look at his. Bush’s has “bitch just cut me!” all over it!

All I can add is stay on our representatives. DeMint and Barrett are doing their jobs…it’s the rest that are busy helping their friends across the isle. With the Democrats having the majority, why haven’t the Dems passed the bill without the Repubs….thinking thay want complicity.

It didn’t take long for senator graham to change her tune from opposing the bill last week to being in favor of it yesterday. She sure knows how to dance doesn’t she? She almost had me fooled, sorry senator, it’s been a while since I voted for a democratic senator but this is the year for me.

Even more disappointing (we expect the two-faced drivel that spews from senator graham) is that joe wilson voted with Nancy Pelosi! Who was advising joe, Jake and Hugh?? I wish you well in your retirement, joe.

Kudos to Congressman Barrett for being a true statesman and voting against the welfare for bankers bill.

Here’s an idea banks: lend money to folks that can demonstrate an ability to repay a loan – regardless of the pigmentation of their skin.

Newt Gingrich is going to be at the national press club this morning to tell Americans and their lousy politicians, but particularly the chairman of the SEC that liquidity can almost be immediate if the government did away with the SOX mark to market accounting practice. And no law has to be passed to do this, just the approval of the SEC chairman, I find this very interesting and wonder WHY the hell they haven’t done this yet?

Also, Sic, you should read the NY Times article from yesterday that shows Secretary Paulson (former CEO of Goldman Sachs), helped AIG get 85B (b for big ones) from the US government, Goldman Sachs as I understand it owns like 20% of AIG. And the single businessman from the private sector on their board is the current CEO of Goldman Sachs. This has CORRUPTION written all over it, and now Paulson wants to bailout all his buds on Wall Street. And the dems are writing in all sorts of bailouts for community organizations to the tune of $20b. And yet Mccain and Obama signed up for this. where the heck is Ron Paul when you need him?

yesterday’s loss of 777 points doesn’t come anywhere near the crash in the 80s where there was a 20% loss in the market in one single day…This is capitalism working. There needs to be a correction in the market, obviously, and this is what is happening. It will likely SUCK, but shouldn’t become a new form of socialism where the government can bail out every tom, dick and harry when their business fails.
