If Jeb Hensarling (R) of the 5th Congressional District of Texas, is your Congressman, I hope you folks will throw his sorry a** out of office in November.
WHAT A LOW-LIFE SCUMBAG. Lou Dobbs just tore him up and the pollitical whore sat there with that crap eating grin on his face and REFUSED to stand up for consumers against the credit card companies. He has been bought off by the major credit card companies. I thought Lou Dobbs was going to reach through the monitor and punch him in his lying mouth.
See, I've said ever since '06 that most Pubbies are just as sorry as the DemocRATS. This is further proof. Just line my pockets and the American people be damned.
No dem opponent. If any it will be a write in or no name 3rd party type.
Watch this and tell me if you’ve changed your mind:

He’s VP material, if you ask me.
In what way isn’t he “standing up for consumers” against credit card companies? Did the credit card companies hold a gun to the consumer’s head to make them run up their credit card debt? What would you like him (or the government) to do? Stick their nose in there too? Is this one issue enough to throw him out and replace him with a Democrat who most likely would be a pawn of Nancy Pelosi? Just wondering...
Yes, the poor people that sign a contract need a government that says “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”.
NO THANKS
No Dem opponent, no wonder he can smile. Whatever happened to Howard Dean’s 50 state strategy? I think they can still name an opponent to fill the vacancy, and maybe a viable conservative can make a deal with the Dems to name him or her and get GOP support as well.?
Anyone with an (R) next to his name, at this point, will take more than a bad interview to motivate people against him. Sorry friend.
You want to send money to a demorat and give another seat to queen nancy because Hensarling isn’t anti-corporate enough for you?
I take it back, I’ve watched a few of his You Tube speeches just now and he seems fine with me.
What next, bail out people that aren't paying their mortgages? The credit card companies have not forced anyone to sign up for their services. If ignorance is no defense in a criminal court, why should it be in civil matters?
Remember, the credit card peddlers are giving banking a bad name ~ they're giving plastic a bad name too, and that's a horrible thing to do with a perfectly useful byproduct of the oil industry.
When I saw this particular session I was must struck by the fact that the Congresscritter, what's his name, Bend, seemed to be partially deranged and suffering from an absence seizure at the time.
The credit card companies, and their lackeys, are helpless softees in comparison, and that's their problem.
They extended credit to people who did not meet their standards. That has forced them to collect their losses from their better customers who pay their bills on time.
If they had half the grit required of your average bill collector, the credit card guys would not have gotten into trouble.
It's long overdue to bankrupt them and revert their assets to worthy owners.
This Lou Dobbs segment has got to cost Hensarling 3% of the vote.
I wonder where this guy was during Postalgate ~ that's when some of his fellow Congresscritters were using the House Post Office as a lender of first resort so they could siphon their House office supplies budget into their pockets?
Think he dipped a little?
Bet he did!
Busted!!!!!!
Usury? Are you kidding me?
You might be able to make a case for invalidating an adhesion contract because the type was too small or something, but usury charges are ridiculous.
Are you even a conservative, or just a populist?
For the record I spend less than I make (it is a pretty good policy)... use cash as often as possible... it sure is a beeotch when I open that bill every month and it shows a balance at less than $100.
Gig 'Em Jeb!
Gig 'Em Texas A&M Aggies.
Hunh? This guy has an edumactation?
