What Rush is saying - I ask can anyone see if Soros manipulating stuff tipped this when the NYSE had it first bad day (Short selling, etc) to try to get HolyMan elected?
This is the time when he “settles all family business.”
W knows he's wildly unpopular but he (and Team McCain) figured out a way to get the Dems to side with him on a bill which 80% of the American people hate.
Masterful!
Barney Frank on the House floor “being honest”..when he says he uses his power as the Chairman of the Banking committee to help “poor people”.
Amazing when Congressional members can get up on the House floor and admit their corruption and incompetence and get an ovation, when they should be watching the vote from a jail cell, probably.
you can’t sue congress

You can however, slap them with a Cease and Desist order.
I have seen the Dems statements on a forum I have been watching and they are taking names of who votes for this. They are as upset as we are.
FWIW, I'm keeping my powder dry on that one. 43 and McCain haven't saved us yet.
The HR has to be getting close to a vote Boehner is talking now.
Paul shamed the Corinthian Christians because no one among them was willing to “judge the smallest matters” (1 Cor. 6:2).
As the Apostle wrote, “He who is spiritual judges all things” for “we have the mind of Christ” (1 Cor. 2:15‑16).

Jan Schakowsky.Schakowsky represents the 9th Congressional District in Northern Illinois.Schakowsky is married to convicted felon Robert Creamer.As the AP reported: The husband of an Illinois congresswoman was sentenced to five months in federal prison Wednesday for writing rubber checks and failing to pay withholding taxes.
Robert Creamer, 58, also faces 11 months of house arrest once he finishes his sentence. Robert Creamer has strong ties to Obama,as Tom Roeser reports: Robert Creamer, the husband of U. S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill) who was sentenced to jail for running a community group and paying himself big bucks while banks held the bag, has been teaching a group of young (mostly) volunteers for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, I am exclusively revealing today.
Nothing wrong with Creamer earning a living. Indeed not long ago he surfaced as a registered lobbyist working against the Senate confirmation of UN ambassador John Bolton, paid by the George Soros-funded “Open Society Policy Center.” But the idea of a convicted felon who kited checks lecturing the supposedly idealistic Obama campaign on how to raise money and get elected is a bit much.
Creamer taught at “Camp Obama,” a week-long summer camp last month held at the presidential candidate’s office in Chicago for campaign interns and volunteers-just a few blocks away from the federal court where on August 31, 2005 he pleaded guilty to charges of bank fraud and failure to pay federal taxes…on charges brought by U. S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald. He admitted in his 18-page signed plea agreement that he wrote checks on accounts that lacked funds and did so repeatedly as he moved money from one account to another in three banks. He had a multiple group of organizations that received money, the best known being the “Illinois Public Action Council” a left-wing group on which his wife, Jan Schakowsky, was a board member while the manipulating was going on. She was already in Congress when he pleaded guilty; she was not charged.
Creamer’s retention to instruct the Obama for President campaign is probably the most revelatory hint that the hopeful, idealistic, whimsical message floated by the candidate is mere vapor obscuring a cynical operation…unless, of course, the Obama people had no idea of Creamer or what his past represents.
Creamer’s being hired by the Obama campaign to instruct interns and volunteers in political organizing, abuses of which sent him to jail is ironic. Sen. Obama has been notable among the presidential candidates for crusading in an effort to “bring hope to our people.” He has been chairman of the Senate Ethics committee. How Creamer ended up instructing the Obama workers when his notoriety has been so prominent in Illinois is anyone’s guess. And whether he still continues to work on the Obama payroll is still speculative. One would imagine that David Axelrod, the top Obama strategist, should have seen Creamer’s hiring as a red flag.
Creamer, one of the more expansive radical lefties in Illinois, admitted he moved money from one account to another in three banks in 1997, playing what bankers describe as the “float” and thus making them believe that the accounts had more money in them than they actually did. In addition, Creamer admitted that he had opened two other check kiting schemes which took place in 1993 and 1996. His guilty plea also involved failing to collect $1,800 withholding tax from an employee of his political consulting firm. When he pleaded guilty, Creamer still flourished the rhetoric that led many well-intentioned volunteers to his multiple organizations. “The burning desire to create an organization that empowered ordinary people led me to make serious errors in that organization’s finances,” he said.
U. S. Attorney Fitzgerald wanted to send Creamer to jail for four years and three months. “This isn’t a one-time shot,” this is serial violation of the law in multiple respects,” said Fitzgerald’s office. Creamer’s attorney argued for probation because he spent a lifetime fighting “for social justice and broke the law so he could keep fighting for the causes he believed in.” Also being sure that he was adequately paid, with a six figure salary, while he crusaded for social justice. The prosecutor in Fitzgerald’s office, Joe Ferguson, said Creamer acted like he was above the law and continued his illegal activities even after a visit from the FBI, that he never took responsibility for his actions. Creamer’s attorney called him the most admirable client he ever represented-which stirred some comment about the nature of the other clients.
Are saying that Bush will veto the bill that, as you say, 80% of Americans hate? Or will he sign the bill that is crafted by the dems?
That's a very, very disturbing video..........
You bet they are, and since I am one I oughta know :)
Every member of the House who votes for this should be turned out on his a$$.
Boehner voting Yes on the bill.
RIP, America.
So, spouse of a Dem congress-critter in the pokey. Sun sets in the West, news at 11...
At this point, the Dems will do ANYTHING to get it passed so they can go home to campaign.
They're in a box and they know it.
To HADES with a third party. We need a SECOND one.
Note to Boehner: Enjoy your thirty pieces of silver while you can...
I certainly don’t intend to go through over 450 posts in 7 thread to establish that you manufactured this contention to attack people on this forum, however, I have looked at close to 100 and the most vicious thing I have seen is that two posters didn’t like his politics. I’m done.
Time to hide in the cloak room so you don't have to be the deciding vote.
Steny Hoyer gets the final? minute of debate
