![]() So, do you think the speach Pelosi made is appropriate for a patriotic American leader in a time of national crisis? yes or no? Absolutely ..... (I'm not a Dem., btw).......just as patriotic as the clowns who have voted in lock-step with Bush and voted down the plan presented by Bush's incompetent messenger. The "leaders" should have seen this mess coming a long time ago and the only answer was to cut taxes. Cut taxes = buy votes. The entire house is up for election in a month, and they will sell their souls to get another 2 years, so the Reps tried to make this a Dem plan. That isn't politics? Florida has a great deal to do with the mortgage mess, but Florida delegation almost unanimously voted "no". As for Obama not returning to Washington, that is ludicrous, as are many of McBush's positions. The freaking President is supposed to be the leader, not the candidates. If McBush was leading, he could pick up the phone, twist arms, and get a deal made. Or, better yet, come up with a deal more palatable and be able to communicate it to the public. Mebbe Sarah can do it for him.....just raise her hemline an inch or something. With several years of serious foreign policy "problems", energy crisis and crumbling economy, lots of folks are still voting on the basis of whether someone was a POW, has a vagina or dark skin. How many times has McBush voted against raising the minimum wage? And we blame people for being poor? The "drill now" mentality reflects the same lack of leadership. We've been talking about the price of gas and the lack of saving by Americans for forty years! What if we conserved, which reduces the outlay in dollars AND we save our supply for the day when the rest of the world reaches our level of consumption? The lame, pseudo-religious garbage in all of the elections since '80 could have been framed in real moral terms that apply to everyone, like "save for a rainy day" - don't refi to cover your freaking credit card excess, save some money in the bank. Oh, the bank would have cash and not have to borrow? I can't buy $1,000 in cheap, imported s--- to put under the tree every Christmas? I'm old enough to remember the AIDS epidemic getting started - it didn't really matter that a bunch of gays had a horrible disease. It didn't matter when hemophiliac kids started dying by the hundreds - we just had to make sure they didn't buy the home next to ours. No healthcare plan? I've got mine, I've got a job (now) so you and your kids can die? I know Joe and Harry phonied up a sore back, got a permanent disability and used the money to open a construction business? What goes around eventually comes around. |

3. Bonier (the GOP leader) goes to Pelosi and says: "I can give you an additional 12-20 votes if I have your word you'll tamp down any criticism of the vote by your Democratic candidates." Pelosi probably agrees. Bonier goes back to the members and says "I have the word of the Speaker." 4. Then the speech. The speech leads several GOP members to significantly distrust the "word" of the Speaker not to politicize the vote and decide to vote they way their constituents want. I will believe that premise after I prove there is a Santa Claus. Folks still want Hillary to apoligize for voting for the war, as if she was the only one voting. The greatest strength of most of the elected members is their hypocracy and deceitfulness in ramming through their favorite project. What is strikingly odd, lately, is the disappearance of the Clintons.........Bill has been so neutral that I'm stunned. I am betting five cents that one of them are in line to be treasury sec, regardless of whom is elected pres. |

Milliners and our Country Legislators
I have been in this country many years over half century I have seen lot, some I understood, some I did not and some I never will understand. We have been preached that justice is equal for all! I am Sorry but that is one lie I can not condone. Our Government does one thing and saying other. Yes old Indian American Indian was absolutely right when they stated that white man speaks with two tongs. "Our Government is doing just that". They are telling us how much they want to help small individual business. Have any one "EVER" heard of that State or on Federal level has bail out small business from bankruptcy, instead they have actually put the people into bankruptcy "you paid the tax" or everything your own and the house In which you are living in is taking and you are out on street. However our Legislature bends over to help Milliners Why? Well you be the Judge. State of NJ has bail out ENCAP and now ZANADU in Billions. With the money that they collect from small individual business and if is illegally or unfair, that is OK since we don't donate Thousands of dollars to politicians for they extra curricular activities. Yes that is understandable we are not Golden Goose laying golden eggs, I am truly sorry about that. And now USA Federal Gov. supposedly is bailing out Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and now Lehman Brothers. Please don't get me wrong I am all for bail them out but? First everything that they own must be used as collateral. This people Top Management, Owners, CEOs they must be brought down on ground level with blue-collar worker. No Limos, no Yachts, no Royal Royce, no gifts to sibling in thousands or millions no houses and apartments world wide. You get one reasonable house to live in that is all "That is Justice" Now you get bail out, but that will not happen because our corrupted legislators covering them self, You see they are part of the system. That is my Opinion Thank you Tony wrote in message ...

After everyone from both parties tried to put together a plan that could get passed and thought they just barely had the votes, Pelosi gave a vitriolic paritsan speach on the floor of the House, blaiming the whole sub-prime situation on Bush and the Repulicans. This from the woman who proclaimed a new era of bi-partisanship when she became Speaker. Clearly she figured she would play politics and if the whole thing went down the drain and took the economy with it, she'd just blame that on the Republicans too. If you want to see what she actually said, here it is. Ask yourself if this is the speach of a patriotic American leader in a time of crisis or a rabble rousing partisan bitch: http://www.breitbart.tv/html/184803.html Blaming Pelosi is idiotic ... neither party wants "blame" for voting either way (shades of WMD) There probably aren't three people in Congress who really understand the ramifications of what they are to vote on, but the overnight markets are making it pretty clear. The idiots who spent ten years sniffing out semen stains on blue dresses are the ones who brought this mess...........I don't want a moralistic moron in the White House. Or the other house.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So, do you think the speach Pelosi made is appropriate for a patriotic American leader in a time of national crisis? yes or no? Oh, brother! |
