In case you didn't know... John McCain, Deregulation Hawk, Criminal (from Aug 4, 2008) "John McCain’s affinity for supporting the deregulation of major industries puts him in league with the worlds most notorious corporate criminals. Deregulation is the tool of the super rich corporate criminal class, and John McCain is their poster child..." LINK Financial deregulation "In 1999, McCain voted for the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which passed in the Senate by a vote of 54-44.[49] The deregulation bill loosened restrictions on the activities of banks, brokerage houses, and insurance companies. In 2002 he voted for the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which passed the Senate without opposition.[50] In 2007, however, McCain stated that he regretted his vote in favor of Sarbanes-Oxley,[51] which strengthened financial reporting requirements for publicly held companies but which has been the subject of complaints from businesses. In 2008, in the wake of the widely publicized crises involving the insurance company American International Group and the brokerage houses Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch, McCain stated: "In my administration, we're going to hold people on Wall Street responsible. And we're going to enact and enforce reforms to make sure that these outrages never happen in the first place." LINK Charles Humphrey Keating Jr. "...best known for his criminal involvement at the center of the savings and loan scandal of the late 1980s. As a result of his actions he is a convicted felon having been found guilty of fraud, racketeering, and conspiracy. His manipulation of five US senators (to whom he had made substantial financial contributions) to argue for preferential treatment from regulators led to those politicians being dubbed the Keating Five in reference to him." Failure of Saving & Loan, the Keating Five "In 1972, Charles Keating began to work for American Financial Corporation, a company involved in insurance and banking. Four years later he moved to Phoenix, Arizona to run the real estate firm American Continental Corporation, a spin-off of American Financial Corp. In 1984, American Continental Corporation bought Lincoln Savings. Such savings and loan associations had been deregulated in the early 1980s, allowing them the opportunity to make highly risky investments with their depositors’ money, an opportunity of which Keating took advantage. Some regulators noted the danger posed by these deregulations and pushed for more oversight, but Congress refused. This may be due, in part, to the Keating Five, five Senators — Dennis DeConcini, Alan Cranston, John Glenn, Don Riegle and John McCain — who had received, for both themselves and for groups they supported, well over $1 million from Keating in the 1980s as favors and political contributions.[1] They later met twice with regulators who were investigating American Continental Corporation, in an attempt to end the investigation. (In 1991, they would be rebuked to various degrees by the Senate Ethics Committee.)" LINK

I had nothing against WAMU Corp (used them for years) until they decided to screw me. Now I have decreed that they will fail It has been written Thy will be done

Fucking WAMU is the reason I have a BECU account now...Think "curse"

"Biden was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania for ten years prior to moving to Delaware. He is an attorney and became a senator in 1973 at the Constitutional minimum age of 30, making him the fifth-youngest senator in U.S. history. He is a long-time member and current chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and has worked on resolutions concerning the Yugoslav wars and Iraq War. He has served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, dealing with issues related to drug policy, crime prevention, and civil liberties, and led creation of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act and Violence Against Women Act. He chaired the Judiciary Committee during the contentious U.S. Supreme Court nominations of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas..etc, etc,..." Sarah Palin bio: "She can see Russia from her house"

I see a fat guy who looks suspiciously like TTK. Helmet nerd stickers & all. glad you enjoyed the show

Fairweather would loan the drunk on the corner $100k, securitize that and sell it to 15 investors at $10k a pop guaranteeing a $1k/month income, blame the drunk when he couldn't pay it back, then ask the government to pay back the investors their $10k, pocketing $150k + fees for himself. that about sums it up

I see the forest, you see the trees

Should anyone really be surprised by all this? Although the Democratic party maybe nearly as capable of fucking up the economy as the Republicans, the difference is that the Democratic party leadership would (and will always) be held accountable in particular by its idealist constituency as that is its nature (being still the party of the common folk). On the other hand, the Republican party is mostly made up of (a) neo-aristocrats (b) religious fundamentalists © reactionary cynics who (have swallowed the koolaid) just want to vote against anything and anyone "democrat" because they are simply bitter and intellectually short sighted. What is the economic vision of the Democrats? It's that "we can do things better and with a little foresight, we can improve the lives of all of us". If they fail to live up to that, the people let them know and they pay a price (usually in the form of Republicans getting elected). On the other hand, what is the economic vision of the Republicans? It is "no need for foresight, oversight or any kind of sight. If you someday make enough money and own enough stuff, you will get to join our higher ranks and can then look down from on high towards the struggling masses". If they (Republicans) fail and their economic "vision" breaks, it only serves to prove their point that "life is a struggle", and every man be for himself. In other words, the repubs can always claim that they "get a pass" because they really never offered much in the first place. The reason the Republican party is more accurately termed the "repugnant" party is because people recognize the rotting facade of the Right wing promise - and it's just fucking repugnant when your continuously being sold a line of bull. (Their so good at it though!) The "free market" is one such facade that really it doesn't mean an equilibrium of supply and demand. Free market (as it turns out under the repubs) = unrestrained greed = imbalance = collapse. Katrena exposed the facade that every one starts out with the same chance to succeed in our society. Enron, the energy "shortage", the mortgage melt down, the oil price "crisis" shows that money is basically nothing less than a drug, and that when under the influence people do not always do the moral or right thing. They might even jump through hoops to sell you something they know you'll never be able to hold on to. The terrorist "crisis" has become a way to control the populace and is sold to them in the form of "be afraid, be very afraid!" Everything Republican is a lie! It is a sham. It is a smoke screen, a big fat show with nothing behind it. WMD's? Where? Alqaida in Iraq? When? Oh after we showed up. Binladin? "We'll smoke you out and bring you to justice"... Really? From fake health insurance to fake loans to fake tax cuts and fake "diplomacy". From fake FDA oversight to fake and doctored "scientific" reports - its just oh so fitting that McCain would finally pick a fake VP candidate with fake credentials and fakey painted lips. I for one am not surprised in the least that this phony,fake, bullshit economy built under a repugnant republican administration would end up in a state of near total collapse. And I am equally not surprised that they would attempt to "bail out" the situation with a big government "socialist" solution - one that the working class will end up paying for of coarse. What I would be surprised by is that anyone in their right (ahemm.."correct") mind would ever under any circumstance vote to put these lying snake oil salesmen (and a woman) back into power for another four years.

I see your point though, lying about sex is much more important than lying about the need to start a war.

White House refuses to answer subpoenas Republicans fail to investigate the Bush Admin

Thats just her bringing "reform" to government. I mean, its not like there have been THAT many repugnicans who failed to cooperate with investigations right?

Palin "pro-life" ? "This is a reflection of a somebody who doesn't have any use for science." We need to elect more stupid people! They seem underrepresented these days.

The funniest part of the article.. "The New York Times reported she (SARA PALIN) granted the 95,000-dollar-a-year directorship of the state division of agriculture to a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, who cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification."

so if McCain loses do this mean all the nursing homes will burn baby burn?

aka, 'unrestrained greed' The Great Wealth Transfer - It's the biggest untold economic story of our time: more of the nation's bounty held in fewer and fewer hands. And Bush's tax cuts are only making the problem worse The entire Bush economy has been nothing but a corrupt sham destined by design to benefit the few at the top and his friends and backers. From Enron to "oil for sexgate", from Katrena to Iraq, from fake insurance to phoney energy crises to rigged elections it's all been one big lie. McCain hangs with the same crowd and we (most of us) will continue to get fucked by them as long as they control the switches.

Gee FW, I wonder why so many working class folks failed to hold your "specifics" against Old Bill Clinton? Couldn't be because they finally noticed some fairness (pun intended) coming into the tax system could it? Couldn't be because over all, the economy made great gains on behalf of all of us rather than just the wealthiest 5%? Why is it that rich people are so against allowing the other _% (what ever the majority is) to enjoy a little prosperity as well? How many houses can John McCain live in at one time anyway?

Of coarse, just to throw this in, I would take Obamas credentials as a US Senator having to deal with national issues, policies and laws over that of a hockey mom clown from the great northern outback any day of the week. What is the size and make up of the Alaska electorate again? As for Obama vs McCain I wouldn't vote for either one based on credentials - George Bush has (or will have) 8 years of presidential experience and thus we should all demand a constitutional change and hold mass pro-bush rallies demanding our "experienced" "leader" continue to "lead" us. ..just sayin

Seems I remember something like this happening the last time we elected a democrat to take over for a Bush in the white house. A major problem with the economy at the time was the issue of the massive deficit and the problem of government spending. In order to address these issues, in August 1993, Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 which passed Congress without a single Republican vote. It raised taxes on the wealthiest 1.2% of taxpayers, while cutting taxes on 15 million low-income families and making tax cuts available to 90 percent of small businesses.[18] Additionally, it mandated that the budget be balanced over a number of years and the deficit be reduced.[19] This was to be achieved through the implementation of spending restraints.

Just remember this, its not a lie if you believe it. Just ask George Costanza

Yes, but even though THIS will happen, it will not be the final act of this folly. Though I am but a humble Zennostic, I will call up every possible new age spell and incantation that I can think of to ensure that Mr McCain live a long and healthy life. For what I fear, neah what the world itself fears is this, a "President Palin" You could try getting used to it but it will never work. You can try to look at the bright side of things but there will be none. You might take some comfort in the notion that global warming is just gods way of hugging us closer or that Todd can lean out a carburetor on a skidoo with the best of em, but for some reason, deep down inside, we know that those rationalizations won't quite make it. "President Palin" from ALaska... ALaska!!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
