“So what if Franklin Raines gets millions of dollars in bonuses while people lose their homes and 401ks”?
“So what?”

Politicians like Obey are so what is wrong with this country.

……

This is the only way we will ever get any measure of change in this country, because the people running the show right now are driving everything into the ground. They need to be removed from their offices and positions of power now!

David Obey is the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and author of the so-called Stimulus Package.  This quote from him sums up the Democrat sentiment behind the legislation.  We need to spend as much money as possible, fund our allies an…

Thank you, Van.

SO WHAT? What about the money that was spent incorrectly? The moron cannot see beyond his own ideological glasses…the money is then gone, Mr. Olbey, and we have to foot the bill in a time where we can’t afford to spend more money we don’t have.

You pathetic ideologue — how do these folks get elected?!?

Why do we tolerate such behavior?

We have become the tfools of our tfools.

We have become the tools of our tools.

They write themselves. With a little help from Dan Quayle this time.

I read Victor Davis Hanson’s latest entry in the ever growing Intellectual Clue Clubbing of President Empty Suit.

We see the Know-nothing Harpy Harridan proclaiming ‘500 million Americans have lost their job while simultaneously holding the House of Barons’ Testicle Lock Box to do a Deep Throat ramming on the next several generations.

We look at Kali-fornia, the third largest state in this Republic and now paying IOUs to its citizens and furloughing State employees due to the spend-aholics in the Democrat ruled State Government.

We look to Tax-achusetts where the Democrat Speaker of the House is preparing to resign due to, as The Radio Equalizer puts it, shady dealings.

The (former) Democrat Governor of Illinois was IMPEACHED for crying out loud!

Miss Barney Frank, Wisconsin’s own Dairy Queen, and Connecticut’s Silver Haired Capybara are central to the economic collapse that this Republic is experiencing

Democrat politicians at virtually every level are under indictment. Yet, 52% of the voters have given the keys to the kingdom to these dis-honorable, avaricious criminals.

Why do we tolerate such behavior?

The Jewish bankers got to her, too. Worth every dime we’re paying them they’re stealing from us. She’s part of the “bipartisan group” trying to cut some spending out of the bill to make it more palatable. However, she seems……

“If we do everything right… there’s still a 30 percent chance we’re going to get it wrong.”

Is this that “new math” I keep hearing so much about?
