Now I remember that moment in the debate. Funny how easily you can let something like that just fly right by without realizing what an obvious gaffe, I hope Tina Fay is asked that question tonight. She'll straighten out this problem for John McCain, the maverick of the Senate.

She's uninformed.
She's ill-informed.
She's a liar.
And a loon.

But, hey, in Sarah's own words, she "...gonna fix America for all the people, you BET CHA!" *wink*

"How many times in her folksy, hockey Mom-style debate did Sarah
use those phony cutsey winks of hers?"

Is she running for VP or playmate of the year?

Can't wait to see how Tina Fey plays her.

As anyone who has followed the foreclosure crisis closely knows . . . .

* * *

Actually, I've been following it pretty closely, and this is news to me. I wonder how many people really know about it?
This is why legislators don't win elections, even though we've got no choice in the matter this go-round. I had this position, then that one, but it wasn't in this one bill that I voted FOR, even though I was against THIS part of it . . .

It's stupid. As if every line of every bill you ever voted for you approve of wholeheartedly--for that matter, that you even know what's in there. Does anyone really even know what's in the budget anymore? How about this 400-page Economic Equalization abortion passed yesterday? Anyone know what's in there? Can we say that Obama supports subsidies for manufacturers of archery equipment? Because he voted for it.

I hate politics. Most real people do.

How many times has it been now that McSame has had to correct and reign in Caribou Barbie?

I hate politics. Most real people do.

You hate politics now that the Kool-Aide you've been drinking the past 8 years has giving you a huge fucking hangover. A few years ago you were doing the happy dance over dead Iraqis, pissing your pants over bin Laden, and spitting on the poor in Louisiana.

It seems the taste of victory that a one or two percent margin (the right deemed a landslide) is a bitter pill... its a shame we can't nail your asses for this mess.

McCain and Obama are closely linked to big money interests, who leach off commoners.

Palin offered up a decent suggestion, consistent with how she has delt with Alaska Oil Companies. She has a record of looking out for the coomone good, even though she's a Republican, but gets trashed for it.

A reasonable bailout package would have begun by examining troubled loans, which started the problem, and provided easier terms by converting variable rate loans to fixed rate and forgiveness of late fees and penalties in those cases where it makes the difference between default or not. Lenders should have been forced to write down other loans to book value before the Government even considered intervention.

Instead crooks, who don't give a hoot about this country have been given $700 billion to move wherever the profit winds blow. Worse, threats of massive civil lawsuits for selling toxic paper overseas have been placated.

Fuck the little guy, protect rich scumsucking greedfuckers. That's the Real American Way. Paulson is a rich scum sucking greedfucker who will add millions more to his own $500 billion portfolio. When he leaves office in a few months this HUGE CORRUPT FAVOR wil be returned.

I hate politics. Most real people do.

It's nothing more than a sport anymore, isn't it? Pick a team to root for and let the trash talk begin,

I don't know what either a liberal or conservative is. Or what defines a Democrat or Republican.

Is abortion the no-compromise issue that divides us? Because everything else seems like a big money grubbing circle jerk.

McPOW and PaLyin will take every damn electoral vote next month!!!

--TAKITEZ--

Chill-Celisary-I happen to agree with you-but-don't stroke out on us buddy...
How can this brainless bimboe* be National Office(of ANY kind)Material?
I wonder if McPow regrets pickin' her for tits yet?
Or did he pick her for her legs? Who knows? I don't give a rat's ass why he picked her-she's useless.

*Dan Quayle-call your Orifice......

You shittin' me with this? Here's a hint, you may want to go to a blog site that is not political in nature.

Everybody here knows politics is basically a public jerk-off served on a bed of lies and smothered with a succulent shit sauce.

And it always comes down to people will vote for the best looking candidate, at least since television.

Is this tosser?

If Sarah Palin was a Black Woman you fucks [righties] would be having an Orgasim an bleeding her dry... -- #14 | Posted by celisary

Yes, but if she were a black woman, the lefties would be calling you racist anytime you criticized her for anything.

A few years ago you were doing the happy dance over dead Iraqis, pissing your pants over bin Laden, and spitting on the poor in Louisiana.
* * * *

Ummm . . . yeah. That's just what I was doing. Douchebag.

Repugs were awfully high during the salad days...its good to see you so contrite now. Politics do and always have sucked. They especially sucked during your reign. You should be taken to the woodshed, or better yet, gitmo. The libs will let you off lightly tho and your shrill whines will be heard on limbaugh, hannity and oreilly for the next 8+ years. I look forward to it.

BADGER

It's going to be fun knowing how many Rushbots are spitting on their computer monitors the next few years.

The GOP as we knew it is dead. W even managed to make it an utter failure. Man, has that guy got the black thumb. Everything he's touched has turned directly into feces.

You should be taken to the woodshed, or better yet, gitmo.
* * * *

Uh huh. You libs think Gitmo is too awful for folks who were caught attacking American soldiers. But you're happy about the idea of sending Republicans there.

By the way--wasn't that one of the things Pelosi and Kennedy and Biden and Obama promised to do something about, if only Americans would send them to Congress as the majority party?

Ah well. Maybe Barack's changed his mind about that too. Why should Gitmo be any different?

ONNA

LOL

Looks like what a fundraiser held in Atlanta to pay for a statue of General Sherman would look like.

Uhh--why would they have a McCain-Palin rally in Alaska, when neither of them are there?

Methinks your link is bogus, and that you're either a moron or a liar, perhaps both.

I beg your pardon. There was a rally. But your picture wasn't from it.

Here's the link:

What a non-story.

Sara Plain 'dealt' with the Oil Companies?

I guess she did, just not in the 'tough' way she tries to portray.

BP (British Petroleum) was THE sponsor of her Gov Inaugural Ball.

"I hate politics. Most real people do."

Agreed, but we all get to live with their decisions.. that's another argument for keeping government as small as possible.

I was listening to Jack Welch yesterday, and he says that we needed the bailout, even with all the garbage that accompanies it. I encouraged my congressman to vote against it (and he did). But who knows?

I forget who said that "one should never watch sausages and laws being made" but he was right.

I wish we'd get a "re-elect no-one" movement going, and "never vote for a lawyer".. those two things, at least for a while, would significantly change Washington.

It's stupid. As if every line of every bill you ever voted for you approve of wholeheartedly--for that matter, that you even know what's in there.

But this issue is easily solved. It won't happen because earmarks and pork is the sugar in their cheerios.

Uh huh. You libs think Gitmo is too awful for folks who were caught attacking American soldiers. But you're happy about the idea of sending Republicans there.

It's not where they were sent that I take issue with. It's the ducking and jiving used to get around the Geneva Conventions. We've invented words that allow what basically amounts to kidnapping.

How many of those who are in Gitmo are people who were turned in for a reward? How many of those people were real terrorists and not someone who was turned in because of a personal grudge?

If they are criminals and Gitmo is a holding jail, where are the trials? If these people are as bad as the administration claims, their trials should be public. The public should be allowed to watch. Instead, it's been secretive.

How about torture? Can you explain how a president says we don't torture and a few months later he says "oh, by the way...the methods we use used to be considered torture, but we changed all that...we just don't consider them torture anymore". I'm paraphrasing, of course, but so-called conservatives ate that shit up.

John McCain. "The Fundamentals of our economy are strong"

George W Bush "The Fundamentals of our economy are strong".

Parroted talking points that were abso-fucking-lutely wrong. Now, with those sound fundamentals your boys want us to hand over 700 billion. So long as people like this are nominated for higher office, I'll never vote for another Republican again.

You fell for the Obama campaign's talking point, Ax. How inspirational of you.

Lemme help:

"The fundamentals of our economy are strong," McCain reiterates at a Florida rally this morning, before noting that "these are very, very difficult times."

It's a line for which Democrats have criticized McCain before, not least because it echoes President Bush's view.

McCain also said, Amie Parnes reports, that "people are frightened by these events."

"I promise you we will never put America in this position again," McCain said. "This is a failure. We've got take every action to build an environment of robust energy supplies, lower inflation, control health care costs, access to international markets, low taxes and reduce burden of government to allow people to move forward toward a future of prosperity. The McCain Palin administration will replace the outdated patchwork quilt of regulatory oversight and bring transparency and accountability to Wall Street, we will bring transparency and accountability and we will reform the regulatory bodies of government."

if Mcsame loses one vote for every correction of Sarah Palin that he makes, he will soon have a deficit in votes and friends.

WTHWHT!!!

Had a conversation with my sister today, her died in the wool Republican husband was going to vote for McCain....was going to....until he got a full load of Palin. Now he says...no way would he vote for her to be VP and thinks less of McCain for choosing her. I know of more than a few just like him. I hope they send her out more to campaign, the more Americans get to know her the less they like her. Same goes for McCain too. I think pretty much their campaign is turning into a bad joke.

Danni,

The national polls reflects that too.

McCain has a tough road to hoe in the next 30 days. I don't think he is up to it. Has he been campaigning on the weekends? I know Palin has been out spreading the lies on the weekend, but have not seen McCain.

Anyone would have a rough time hoeing a road. Don't even know why you would.

Not if it's a dirt road. Don't know why you would either.

But I'll be sure to mock you the next time I catch you in a little two letter error.

Ah, that's it. He's planting on a dirt road.

Mortgage forgiven for woman, 90, who shot herself

All that drilling to get her to recite the party line like a parrot, and she still ad-libs.

Whoo-hoo, DOC! There's a new solution to the mortgage crisis! Get all those folks with ARM loans to kill themselves so their life insurance pays up!

Of course, then we'd have an 'insurance crisis', but I'm sure the government would cut a trillion dollar check to 'fix' that, too.

What kindly loan sharks (er, bankers) they were, too! Drive an old lady to suicide and THEN scramble to pull a media stunt to head off the bad press.

A reasonable bailout package would have begun by examining troubled loans, which started the problem, and provided easier terms by converting variable rate loans to fixed rate and forgiveness of late fees and penalties in those cases where it makes the difference between default or not.

Listening to the debate on the House floor last friday, one of the reps made the point that the bill does provide for troubled mortgages to be renogiated. This becomes possible once the government owns the mortgage.

What appears to be happening is that once the government gets these troubled, non performing mortgages, they will work with the home owner to get the mortgage back to the point where it is performing. They (the gov't) will then repackage the mortgages, sell and insure them.

Seems like a winning plan to me: stressed homeowners get a bail out; wall street gets a bail out; the economy gets rescued and the tax payers eventually get some (most?) of their money back.

The other thing that is good about the program is that all of the $700B is not spent at once. The amount of tax payer money that is at risk could be considerably less depending on how quickly deals can be worked out with stressed home owners and the trouble mortgages resold.

"Get all those folks with ARM loans to kill themselves so their life insurance pays up!"

LOL

Are you sure you're not working on the McCain-Palin "suspended 'campaign'"?

Because that sounds exactly like something they'd come up with, as they stare into the political abyss:

My friends, my friends, please, listen: I'm here today to announce my solution to the mortgage problems so many of you are facing.

Anyone who dies, clutching an upaid mortgage in one hand and a revolver that carries anything greater than a .22-caliber round in the other---don't want to go making mistakes and clogging up the healthcare system with unintentional survivors, heh, heh, heh, only a joke, only a joke---will have their mortage forgiven. They won't have to pay a dime. Their estate, well, that's a different story I'll tell you later, after I finish the one about the three bears and all the trouble that caused for that little trollop who went wandering in the woods one day.

No, I know, I know, the president doesn't have the power to make that kind of law-by-fiat. However, my constitutional law expert, Sarah Palin, has been doing some digging in to the U.S. Constitution---excavating is more like it---and she's discovered some very interesting information about the enhanced powers of the vice presidency.

It's written in lemon juice. Between the lines. On the back. In very small letters. In Pig Latin. We've got a team of sidelock-wearing Kabalistas working on it as I speak.

I heard an interesting idea on the radio this morning. In response to those saying this would be a money maker for the government, the guest suggested that Congress should implement a tax increase that is delayed by 5 years and is only enacted if the bailout fails to be profitable.

This is what boggles my mind...

Everyone thinks its these bad mortgages that are causing the entire problem. It is not. It's the credit derivatives that are causing the problem.

Read up on credit defualt swaps and you'll understand why the mortgage problem is only very small part of the whole problem.

the guest suggested that Congress should implement a tax increase that is delayed by 5 years and is only enacted if the bailout fails to be profitable

Sounds like some of the creative financing that got us into this problem in the first place!

The mortgage backed securities purchased by the gov't aren't worthless. Also, they are not worth their face value. The problem is that no one knows what they are worth. With the gov't holding these securities, what mortgage payments there are, will flow to the gov't. So, over a period of time, it will be possible to determine which mortgages are performing and which are non performing. With that knowledge, the gov't can repackage the mortgages, with full transparency of capital flows, insure and then resell them.
