eeeew gross. that’s just wrong. Wrong!

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

But word is getting out, just not as fast as it could [if the drive-bys were honest].

The real ‘here-and-now’ problem is that there will be RINO gangs who like to dance with rats. McCain knows the RINOs inside out. I hope he doesn’t game this crisis. In his hands is the chance to decimate the rats. It would be worth a trillion dollars to crush them.

[ChetNavVet]

Wow, I think I need more scotch and soda after seeing Renos pic.

Rush is spot on, and if it weren’t for him, many would not understand why and how we got in this mess.

I really belive that McCain and Palin do not personally believe this bailout is the right thing to do, and that MM Global warming is a hoax.

Why is it that many republicans in the house and senate fail in thier collective courage to stand up and call the bluff of leftie policy and ideas, in academia, science, and economics for the BS it is? The way I see it, if they don’t, they have a good chance of loosing in Nov. Maybe it’s because they belive the MSM will pounce on them if they stand up and they will most assuredly loose in Nov?

Either way, I feel sad and fear for our nations future.

Why is McCain ignoring this story?

I can understand why the New York Times, The Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and even Fox News are all ignoring this story.

But why is John McCain ignoring this story?

This is a matter of TRUTH.

Why is McCain ignoring the TRUTH?

Why is McCain failing to tell the American people the simple and unvarnished TRUTH?

[jazzlite]

I hate to say it but if McCain-Palin win, their hands will be tied by a Congress populated by socialists. I fear that war is going to be necessary down the road, perhaps for our Grandchildren, to regain the freedom which has dripped away over the years to now become this landslide into oblivion.

Unless people vote the crooks out.

[FastCoyote]

Thank God for Rush Limbaugh.

I thought there was one enormous elephant in the room that Newt missed in his analysis.

His view was workable so long as the worldwide confidence factor is ignored.

There is an emotional dynamic to the market that cannot be underestimated. It’s not enough to address the nuts and bolts of how to unfreeze the credit market. The issue of restoring global confidence in America as an economic superpower also needs to be addressed and managed wisely.

Part of the reason for asking for such a large *spending authority* (that’s all this is-—$700B is not going to flow to the Treasury Dept on Monday and then be parsed out in checks to financial institutions on Tuesday), clearly is to create an “overwhelming show of force” in the world markets.

IOW, to make a very clear statement that the U.S. is committed, essentially, to whatever it takes to restore liquidity and stability to the market.

The world markets, including our own, will NOT have confidence in anything governmental response perceived as half-hearted or as hobbled by an ongoing scheme of politicized wrangle-points.

And yes, in regard to the psychological/emotional dynamic of confidence in the market, perception is just about everything.

Newt’s analysis completely ignored this aspect, and, therefore, is doomed to fail.

If we as a nation do not make a strong statement to the world that we are ready and willing to take responsibility for fixing the mess in the world markets that we, as the world’s economic superpower, substantially created (never mind at the micro level the internal blame between Rats and Republicans and so on), the fallout will be MORE THAN ECONOMIC.

And, may I remind, that throughout history the state of economies have more correlation to the outbreaks of war and aggression than most any other factor.

Jack Welch on H & C had a much less myopic view than Newt on what needs to be done.

[fightinJAG]

I noticed Bob Barr was not invited to the meeting at the White House today, since clearly he is not one of the individuals who will win the presidential election in November.

[stockpirate]

It sounds like McCain just may have the information he needs to prevent this from happening in it’s present form.

STOP THE BAILOUT.

[LibLieSlayer]

You will get over that the next time you see or hear osamabama.

“i fear that war is going to be necessary down the road, perhaps for our grandchildren, to regain the freedom which has dripped away over the years to now become this landslide into oblivion...”

the english language does not have sufficient words to describe the low, slimy, dripping evil that’s taken over the u.s. congress. the shame of it is, that the “electorate” loves socialists and will probably give us an entire government populated by adolescent, psychotic, ill-mannered, childish scu&bags who will complete the october revolution. tyranny has been here for a long time and it ain’t going to get better. their ugly scu&bag faces are going to be thrust upon everyone by a willing so-called press.

An oldy, but goody..
White House Warns of Increase in Debt, Risk Threat at Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac February 5, 2002 (20 additional links)

Keep in mind that this next article (you can get there through the link above as well) was written in December 1997!
There is no housing bubble, there is no housing bubble.../

THE MOUNTING CASE FOR PRIVATIZING FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC
As a result those entities, as they are currently constituted, are perceived to be "too big to fail."
Have you heard that bandied about lately? Sure you have!
How odd that some old things, like me, never really go away...

[philman_36]

Big wave surfing.

[zeugma]

Rush is very much on target here, but there is plenty of blame to assign on the republican side of the isle as well. It doesn’t matter what we say about it though folks, the republicrat party is going to screw us all again, but good. We’re being taken for a ride by the politicians. Hope you enjoy it.

Watch out for sharks.

[philman_36]

Watch out for sharks.

They should watch out for me.

Another major point that is missed in all of this is that democrats really don’t want AMerica as the #1 Superpower anymore. With this instability the foreign gov’ts will pull their monies and we will collapse as the reigning superpower. Guess who is happy then? The democrats!
