America loves a winner!


but it's no problem in waiting several days to sign the Enormulus Bill. Doom and gloom, rush rush to get this bill finished, or else the economy may collapse!!

Or, more accuratly, Princess Pelosi can make her dinner date in Italy, on her personal HairForce One airliner.

Bills can be signed anywhere, at any time. So why all this fuss and hooplah in ramming this bill down our throats, before anyone had a chance to READ the god damn thing? Oh, just so Obama could wait until he got to Colorado and put on a big staged event, you say ?


The more time this bill remained in the public eye, the less and less the citizens cared for it. " Sunshine is the best disinfectant", but the cover of night is what the Dems sought, and for good reason. This bill was presented to Congress at 11PM, and then signed the next day! Getting the dirty deed done was job one for the sinister Democrats, and even 7 of them in the House saw how horrific this bill was.

Folks, you've been had.

To put it in the simplest terms possible, so that MAYBE you'll be able to follow along...

We won, you lost. Deal with it.

Seems like *someone* here used to just love pointing that out during the last presidency...

Auraptor, give it up. Kwicko's right, we lost. We lost a lot more than the election, we lost the moral, ethical, and organizational necessities to ever win again. Don't fret, somewhere in Santa Rosa is a pod with your name on it. All you need to do is fall asleep, and when you wake up you'll feel much better about things.

Delays only give the opposition more time to find ways to.... delay. If you can bullrush a bill through - especially one this large and with so many things sticking out to argue about - then you have a chance.
Otherwise, gridlock, quicksand, and the reps - as can be seen on this site - will just jabber jabber jabber and nothing will get done.

No problem you say! Let's talk more! Let's take 6 months to decide what needs to be done! Everything will wait for us.

Jongs, that's a bit too much doom-n-gloom even for me! Hopefully you're just being melodramatic and silly. ;)

You guys lost this round. Nothing's over. Retreat, regroup, reform, and come back stronger and better, and you'll win another election down the road. Of that you can be sure. After all, we're Democrats; it's not like we ever get it together for very long...

He's right, they won, we lost.

I think that it is incumbant on us to follow the will of the American people and support this stimulas despite our concern that it is too much, doesn't really stimulate anything, its bad for the country, bad for the world, and will result in needless expense and suffering.

After all...after the 2004 election all opposition to President Bush and the the Iraq war just went away. I was overwhelmed by the cheering Bush and his war policy recieved right up to the day he left office and nobody was cheering louder then the left...who were leading by example because they recognized that they had lost, we had won, so they needed to show their support. And its not just on that one issue...even now the liberals are leading the way with supporting the ban on gay marriage in California...because they lost and we won.

We need to follow their good example.

Less then 8 years after Richard Nixon destroyed the Republican Party...we had Ronald Reagan and three consecutive Republican presidential terms. Watergate lost Republicans the moral, ethical, and organizational necessities to ever win again, yet we've had (not counting Ford) twenty years of Republican and 12 of Democrat.

It all comes around, people hate Barrack Obama...they just haven't remembered how much. Its not the man...he's a fine fellow...its the attitude, lack of experiance, and bad policies. People are sick of it. Come 2012...it'll all come around and in 2016 we'll be fighting Hillary.

Somehow I don't see McCain handing everything over to Pelosi.

Republicans would have had tax cuts and infrastructure to the tune of $4-500 billion.

Dem's would have added pork and earmarks and instead of a photo-op in Denver they'd be having some kind of Smackdown over the pork. McCain would have had a fit over Pelosi's $30 million dollar mouse.

But hey...they won. As a lawyer I can tell you that only a fool or an idiot would sign something without reading it. Seems the only real way to tell a fool from an idiot here is whether they are in the House or the Senate.

If I were a Commerce Committee Staffer I'd have slipped some extras in:

Page 947, line 45: "and Joe the Staffer will be paid $10,000,000 from the General fund and shall have sole authority to make rules governing the disposition of Federal Lands and resources, and shall have the sole ability to amend legislation, and can expel members of the House for whatever reason and no vote shall be undertaken in the House without his authorization."

It would all be perfectly legal. Its in the bill, they passed it...the Courts would enforce it. "But we didn't read it" is a terrible defense.

We tried nothing - it is largely responsible for this mess, as in "Nothing" regulation-wise on mortgage/lending. The SEC saw no reason to regulate loans made to subprime candidates and Wall Street loved it and we cycled through boom and now bust in 4 short years.

"More than 2.3 million homeowners faced foreclosure proceedings last year, an 81 percent increase from 2007, and analysts say that number could soar as high as 10 million in the coming years, depending on the severity of the recession."

Doing nothing is like staring at a dying fire and hoping that will bring it back. You have to fan the flames to get it back, or throw mountains of greenbacks on it. It's also a heck of a lot more fun! We're going to get some new bridges and concrete stuff! I wish I owned stock in cement mixers.

You then can blame Barney Frank and Chris Dodd for the 'NOTHING' regulation over Fannie and Freddie. Bush's attempt to reign in those agencies, as well as the Dems vitriolic defense of the very same, is well documented.

You DO understand that the building and repair of our infrastructure more accurately falls into area of the Federal Budget, right ?

This isn't the Federal Budget, THAT fight is yet to come.

And if you think we're done w/ " stimulus " bills, guess again. We're gonna be doing this all over again NEXT year too!

Wait and see.

But the GOP won't get it right either, and that's what pisses me off. They had their chance, got greedy, put their hands over their ears to block out the voices of those who AGREED with them, at first, and then started to act like Democrats - Lite.

Yes, I remember when he came on TV saying that these agencies had to be controlled, or a potential meltdown was going to occur. And he pleaded with the American peeps to support him in his fight against Dodd & Frank's attack on the very sanity of the free-market system. Yes, it was a valiant & very public struggle, wasn't it?
Funny, the way some revisionists talk, you'd think Bush just told his peeps to "look into it" before he got distracted by the next thing came along....

Frem,

Politically speaking, I AM a Libertarian, though a conservative sort, and one who doesn't blindly follow the party platform in lock step fashion. I voted for Harry Browne in the 2000 election, btw.

Hero, I must disagree with your thesis. The past is no longer prologue when it comes to poilitics. It's a new world now. People are much more involved now due to cable and the internet. The Left is too well organized and funded for Republicans to overcome. They are out there marching, rallying, protesting, going door-to-door registering new voters, etc etc, but you never see Republicans doing anything like that. They have the media in their hip pocket. They have all the college campuses singing their songs too. They pander to all the different ethnic groups and cultural special interest groups. So tell me, how ya ever going to beat that? The numbers just are not there anymore for Republicans to win. The RNC is a total joke, even with Steele as the new leader. If he ever pops his head out from hiding behind the curtain, he will be attacked, marginalized, and called Uncle Tom. C'mon, you know that. When the NY Times can select John McCain (chief RINO traitor to the Party) as the Republican candidate for President, what else do you need to know? When you have "Conservative icons" like George Will and Bill Kristol bashing Sarah Palin in unison with their liberal counterparts in the media, what does that tell you? It tells me the Republicans are finished as a national party. And then of course there's a little thing called money. Obama raised nearly a billion dollars. You cannot defeat that. Also, the electoral map gives the Dems a big head start every election. When you can place NY, Calif, and Illinois "in the bank" even before the campaign begins, you have got a head start that is almost impossible to overcome. Republican Party needs to go away; go away and then come back with new leadership and a new philosophy.

How many Americans died from terrorist attacks on U.S. soil while Clinton and Obama were in office? Seems they're much better at keeping us safe from "terrorist" (that's not the plural of terrorist, by the way, but I don't expect to ever be able to pound that through your thick neanderthal skull). I mean, if you look at the numbers, Bush has some 3000 bodies on his watch. How many for Clinton and Obama?

Got a number?

The terrorists attacks aren't an issue, because after 9/11, we did something about it that Clinton wasn't willing to do. Good for W. He was the recipient of Clinton's inaction, as Obama is the recipient of W's positive action on the war on Islamo-fascism.

But changing the topic is what I'd expect from an Obamaphile.

What about the terrorists that have no connection to Islam, and aren't partial to any political theory? You're leaving out a bunch with that label, AUDiscrimination.

Jong, it's not as bad as it looks, we just had the wrong candidate at the wrong time in history. If you look at the election result stats, there are some encouraging signs. We were all told that a vast majority of young people would support Obama, and while he did rack up good numbers (66%Obama, 53%McCain) they are hardly insermountable in the future. Its big losses like this one that causes power to shift in the Republican Party and 4 years from now there will be new faces on the Party and a more conservative Presidential candidate.

You mean like those "emergency funding" bills that kept getting thrown in to fund the Iraq War? Every year it seemed like *someone* forgot that we had a war going on, as if Bush just woke up one morning, looked at the paper (hah - fat chance of that, eh?), and freaked right the fuck out. "What th'? There's a war goin' on, Condee! We need to get more money from the Congress to fight this thing. Heh-heh. Quick, get me my doin'-stuff pants!"

Talk about a pet project. A tiny mouse with the longtime backing of a political giant may soon reap the benefits of the economic-stimulus package.

Lawmakers and administration officials divulged Wednesday that the $789 billion economic stimulus bill being finalized behind closed doors in Congress includes $30 million for wetlands restoration that the Obama administration intends to spend in the San Francisco Bay Area to protect, among other things, the endangered salt marsh harvest mouse.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi represents the city of San Francisco and has previously championed preserving the mouse's habitat in the Bay Area.

The revelation immediately became a political football, as Republicans accused Democrats of reneging on a promise to keep so-called earmarks that fund lawmakers' favorite projects out of the legislation. Democrats, including Mrs. Pelosi, countered that the accusations were fabricated.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)


Ya know, I mentioned in the last few years that the Iraq War was going to have a catastrophic price tag for America, something on the order of three to six trillion dollars. At the time, I was told that I was crazy, that those numbers were inflated and bogus, and no way would we spend that kind of money over there. Only I never said we were going to spend it over there...

Now here we are... About a trillion blown on Iraq so far, Bush blew about another trillion on his way out the door, and Obama's in the middle of blowing another trillion today. That's three trillion, and it ain't over yet. We've got thousands of veterans who are going to need VERY expensive care for the rest of their lives - or you can just go around saying you support the troops and then vote to cut their medical care funding, which has proven to be pretty popular in the past...

It's not that we blew the money over there - it's that we borrowed it and DIDN'T spend it here, on anything of value or of use. Now those bills are coming due, those chickens are coming home to roost, and people actually seem surprised by it.

There really should be some satisfaction in being able to say I was right, and I told you so, but there's not. There's just hanging my head in disgust that we did all the same old shit again, and really expected it to turn out differently.

Yes, Saddam is gone. Hope it was worth the trillions it cost us.

Obama's dog ate it (btw there's no mouse).

But this is fun speaking of stimulus plans:

http://money.cnn.com/2009/02/17/news/companies/auto_plans/index.htm?po
stversion=2009021716


Don't have to wait 'til next year.

"GM, Chrysler ask for another $21.6 billion
Automakers say bankruptcy would cost taxpayers more; accelerate job cuts."

So they were "mistakened" in their earlier estimates, funny how that worked, gee no one saw that a comin'
And they keep effectively holding a gun to their workers' jobs, like they are a hostage. "Give us money or we'll blow their brains out and you'll be pulling the trigger."

It's the price, plus interest and penalties, of Bush's policy of neglecting everything here at home while he went off chasing ghosts overseas - and borrowed every penny to do it, all while cutting taxes, increasing spending, increasing the size of the government (how's that for "conservative"?), increasing bureaucracy, and putting us massively in debt. Now those bills have come due, and the choice is to either renege on them, or try to inject some capital into the system to keep the gears grinding along.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Rapo, the problem is that the catastrophe has ALREADY OCURRED, and it's been occurring for the past three years. We kept trying to tell you that the economy was NOT "on fire" but you wouldn't listen because you wanted Bush to get the credit. But now that everything is unraveling, you're trying to shift the blame:

1) The 2000 recession was Clinton's fault due to the technology bubble.
2) The so-called "on fire " economy was to Bush's credit, but
3) The collapse of the housing bubble is the Dems fault (even tho Bush was in office and Dems weren't even a majority!)

Don't you see how.... twisted... that is? If Clinton's actions had a follow-on effect of a a year or two, don't you think Bush's policies would have the same kind of follow-on effect, which Obama now has to deal with?

I thought your portrayal of the Dem/Repub staircase duel was interesting, though. I'm PRESUMING that the point where you disagree with both parties is deficit spending. Am I right?

Signy, you just don't get it at all. Clinton's actions had a follow-on effect in that the dot-com bubble burst and Bush inherited a recession, and 9/11 happened solely because of Clinton's policies, since Bush never did ANYTHING about terrorism in his first 9 months in office. So all that was Clinton's doing.

Now, where you're going off the rails is in thinking that Bush would have any kind of follow-on effect. Don't you see? Bush was on his way out - he was term-limited, and it was a sure bet that Dick Cheney wasn't going to run! So because of all that, there was a two-year LEAD-ON effect because it was known that Bush the Great and Wonderful wouldn't be around to save our asses. As a result of that "lead-on" effect, things started truly going to shit two years before Bush could skedaddle and mosey his way out the door.

Does that clear up AuLapdog's view of reality for you?

Oh, and the deficit spending? Yes, Lapdog has a huge problem with deficit spending, UNLESS it's money being spent on needless and wasteful wars. War is NEVER a bad investment in RappyLand™.

The 2000 recession wasn't Bush's fault, that's for sure.

The economy was ' on fire' , compared to this. 6 yrs of growth, 2+yrs of sub 5% unemployment, the Dow at 14,000+....... to deny it is to wallow in complete and utter partisan bullshit.

The collapse of the housing bubble is indeed the Dems fault, as the slim margin the GOP had wasn't enough to override the Dems' ability to block any reform the GOP attempted. It's well documented, if not overly publicized, because the media is in the tank for the Dems.

Lemme just put it clean and clear for the rightwingnuts.

WE TOLD YOU SO.

Not just about the economic fallout and resultant lunacy of spending...

But personally, I told you, repeatedly, how this was gonna go IN EXCRUICIATING DETAIL, months and months before the election - which you starry eyed morons brushed off and considered a total republican slam dunk all the way because you are THAT far divorced from any reality outside your little pin heads.

And then I told you how it would go AFTER that, again in detail, and again you brushed it off - and you MIGHT just recall that all the while I was telling you that if you did NOT have the sense to reach across the aisle and prevent it, I would have neither pity nor mercy on you when this came to pass, even if it went to the extreme of your party facing lynchings by pissed off americans, yes ?

You had your chance, and what goes around comes around - the republican party and it's hangers-on, did everything in their power to level scorn, hatred and popular/political damage on the democrats, but like the cowardly little tory/federalist/fascist quisling milquetoasts they really are, wanna scream and cry like little bitches when some well-deserved and overdue smackdown comes back around the karma wheel ?

That's almost as funny as hearing Rappy claim to be a libertarian, BWAAAHAHAHAHA.

And all the while pissing and whining that the democrats y'all were kickin in the teeth should suck it up and get with the program, well, if it was good enough for them, it's good enough for you, and maybe you can crawl your sleazy way across the aisle, leaving that trail of slime Bush and company crapped all over you as an example, and get with the program yourselves, since it's no more (or less!) idiotic than the bullshit your own party came up with, and now they find themselves on the OTHER end of the threshing machine THEY built.

Good job, ya fuckin morons!
Now all the election rigging, political prosecutions, media manipulation and intelligence digging of opposition candidates, and the machinery and infrastructure to do it on a wholesale scale rests in THEIR hands, and just like I TOLD YOU WOULD HAPPEN, instead of dismantling it, they're gonna use it on YOU!

Ain't Karma a bitch, talk about hoisted on your own petard, eh ?

This is me, on my high horse, taking a whizz off the side onto you purile jackasses who don't even have the sense to realize their own blind partisan cheerleading set us up for these very abuses even though they were repeatedly told in advance that this would be the end result.

And here we are, and just like I told you, you'll recieve neither pity nor mercy from me, since your own blind partisanship makes you useless as allies given that you would support the same and worse idiocies if they came from another party, and would do it without even blinking.

This is really my only consolation, as you've tied that boat anchor around MY ankles too, so watching you squirm as you realize you're first down the drain is about the only enjoyment I can get out of this, and I damned well mean to!
