t's time, past time, to offer fixed 30 year mortgages at 3% or less to everyone who can make the payement allowing millions of people to lower there monthly payments so they will have money left over to spend.
* * * *

Right now my mortgage is 6.5%, and I make my payments every month. Under your stupid proposal, I'll just say that I can't afford to anymore, and let the taxpayer subsidize my mortgage at 3.

The law of unintended consequences is real, you know. Why should anyone pay on a mortgage over 3%? You think the housing and credit markets are bad now, wait until we try things your way.

The crackdowns the administration wanted were shot down by Dems in Congress.

The Bush Administration was full of pussies, to be sure, when it came to trying to stop the egregious abuses of Fannie and Freddie. But even now, Dodd and Frank and Schumer don't want to shut off the avalanche of cash they're shoveling to their low-income voters. So, welcome to the Great Depression, brought to you by a spineless administration, and a Democrat Congress who still believes that your taxes should go up so every POS can buy a home he can't afford.

In case of a war, Pakistan would tear India a new asshole from behind the lines.

Funniest thing I've read in ages. If hundreds of millions of Muslims in a dozen countries can't deal with a tiny nation of Jews, what would one Muslim very pissed-off Indians?

Suicidal. Funny, but suicidal.

Remember Bombay! And bombs away!

And . . . in no time flat on the DR, it's Bush's fault.

With all the entertainment I'll be getting from the Obamites, my favorite might be pinning every act of every crazy psychotic Muslim (oops--excuse the redundancy) on the saintly Mr. Barack Obama.

Yes. The government's regulation of toxic substances has just been outstanding. How many thousands got sick from asbestosis, which comes from ripping out asbestos? How many millions have died because of the totally imaginary harm of DDT?

"Strenuously opposed by Barack Obama" . . . well, then it wouldn't be too much for him to put them back, will it? Unless he doesn't REALLY feel that strongly about it, after all?

LMAO. I vaguely remember all the things Obama felt strongly about. Offshore drilling, troops out of Iraq, FISA, illegal wiretapping . . . since wrapping up the nomination, it doesn't seem like he gives a damn anymore. Could it be he was LYING?

I always have.

Fair enough. So it's only a war crime, if you lose your own troops. Good luck trying that line of argument at Nuremburg.

Well, I guess that's one of the things nuclear weapons are for. You can stack up the KIA's, without any of them being your own. Bombs away!

If Bush is going to trial for the murder of thousands of Iraqis, then Clinton needs to go too. How many tens of thousands died because of the sanctions? Because of the no-fly zones?

Let's use this as an excuse to lynch 'em all, including members of Congress who voted for it, and who continually voted to fund it. Of course, that would include the saintly Mr. Obama himself, which might be problematic.

The reason that Bush was wrong in Iraq, and Clinton right in Iraq, is that Bush was a Republican. Clinton enforced sanctions and trade embargoes and no-fly zones that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands. Clinton conducted high-altitude bombing raids against the Kosovars. But when you have the media in your back pocket, you can get away with that kind of thing. Which is something Obama will figure out, sooner or later. Shortly, it will become conventional wisdom that leaving Iraq would be ill-advised, and everyone will remember that he was for the occupation all along, because people are stupid that way.

It is very simple. Let me explain so even a moron Fundo can understand.

Killing an American these days, would instantly make a sucky terrier into a serious terrier. It's a way to build up your rep and get more money from whomever.

I suppose I'm one of those moron fundos you write about. And since we've nothing to lose, how about picking up a phone, calling in the coordinates to NORAD, and turning the whole of the miserable Middle East into a radioactive pile of debris for the next hundred thousand years? Can I get a show of hands?

I think Muslims are suicidal. They're at war, right now, with the United States, India, Israel, and Russia. Not to mention takeovers of French supertankers, bombings of Australian tourist spots in Bali. How long before one of these nuclear-laden powers just decides, hell with it, and lets a missile or two go, just to see if that helps any?

Time will tell whether the Indian government is as pussified as the Bombay police department. But if Pakistan is full of steaming POS like Tosser, few will mourn the nuclear annihilation that one day will destroy the place. If not from India, then from somewhere else that's grown weary of the "don't blame us just because they trained here and were supplied here and because rogue elements in the Paki government gave them money" BS.

Until Pakistan demonstrates they're serious about stamping out the atrocities carried out in their name, I'll assume they're not. And if millions of turds like Tosser burn too, it's hard to imagine the world won't be a better place.

Matthews knows that the only way he can spend more time with the boner-inspiring Barack Obama is to head to Washington in some capacity to be of help to him. He's . . . what? 50 or so? . . . and the only time he's able to get a puffy these days is when he has Barack on the mind. Makes him feel young, I guess.

but can we prove that they voted for McCain, too?

Drudge has photos from inside the store, and McCain voters appear to be pretty thin on the ground. Unless, of course, these folks represent the 1% of blacks who didn't vote for Obama.

This is all very confusing. She calls Clinton a "monster" and is dismissed from the campaign. Then . . . is brought into the administration, working for Clinton.

I'm as cynical as they come, but it's hard to see how any of this works out well. Either Power is right and Clinton should be as far removed from the levers as power as possible, or she's wrong, and SHE shouldn't be around.

Maybe this is just more of the magic that be Barack Obama. Can't and dogs sleeping together.

Bushanomics says cut taxes for the rich no matter what is happening in the economy.

* * * *

Oh. So you admit that the economy was in good shape under Bush? Because if so, then your complaint is valid. But most lefties believe that we've been in a recession since his swearing-in, which would make his low-tax regime more sensible.

So which is it? It's always amusing to watch the tortured logic of the libs. Was the economy strong, thus his tax cuts for the rich a lousy idea? Or was it weak, and therefore a good one?

Of course, had Obama went ahead with his plan, he would be castigated from the right for that, too.

Having one's donut and eating it too, eh Homer?

He wasn't elected by the right. He was voted in by the left, and has been running right ever since. On Iraq, on taxes, on bailouts of big Wall Street banks, on offshore drilling.

LOL. Who knew that McSame was actually Barack Obama?

Obama was an infrequent churchgoer on the campaign trail, though he did make a series of appearances in the pews and pulpits of South Carolina churches ahead of that heavily religious state's primary.
* * * * *

Must . . . try . . . not . . . to . . . be . . . cynical . . . .

No need to pretend anymore.

No bladder control problems here. But that's not what you were saying before--you suggested that you're okay with Obama's flipfloppery, as long as it's because he's now privy to new information. I'm just curious as to what that new information might be. Godalmighty--the election was only two weeks ago. He's already chucking his tax policy? LOL. Too funny.

Especially after 8 years of George Bush who's entire strategery was built on "whatever I believed on Monday I will still believe on Wednesday, no matter WHAT happens on Tuesday".

On Monday Obama was saying it was unfair that wealthy people weren't paying their fair share of taxes. That large corporations and American wealthy were getting a free ride from the Bush tax policies, at the expense of working-class families. That we are running large deficits because rich people need to be paying more.

Now, what could have happened Tuesday, that made him change his mind? I ask you.

Confucius say, "Tater who believe everything he hear in primary, or who fault a change in strategery brought on by change in circumstance, is sorrowful spud indeed'.
* * * *

And Buddha say, "He who lie in primary, be a liar." And Rightisright say, "Tax increases are bad for the economy, and Obama is either retarded and doesn't know it, or he's lying to get your votes."

Nice to see some of the blinders coming off. Maybe when we're still in Iraq in 2012, SanAntonio will finally throw in the towel too.

100%, but I guessed twice and got lucky. Lincoln/Douglas debates, and who shared foreign policy responsibilities with the president.

He's right.

Joe Biden. He has a negative net worth.

As soon as an article begins with the words "Global Warming", you can assume that the rest of it is gibberish also.

That said, I find it amusing that so many celebrate the demise of America, and pretend that a world run by Russian mobsters, Iranian and Indonesian Islamic crazies, African nations who've still not gotten a handle on their population growth or their food shortages, and a Maoist China could possibly be more benign than the one we now inhabit.

I'm fine with it though. The world thinks they can do better without the US, and I'm willing to let them try. Bring the troops home, stop all foreign aid, and withdraw from the United Nations. Leadership is expensive, and it's time we let someone else pay the bill.
