WHat the hell are we thinking! Where is the conservative leadership in this country?

Seems like cutting the capital gains tax would have been a whole lot better than this Bailout. Cheaper too.

This whole Bailout has led to untold worldwide economic turmoil and collapse. Why doesn't the president Fire the Secretary of the Treasury and cut capital gains immediately. Maybe we can cancel the bailout before much of the $$$ is spent and do what was needed in the first place. Who knows the market might be 15,000 if he a had done that in Sept.

One dang this is for sure it would not be this bad and every Tom, Dick and Harry business would not be getting a handout. Where the hell is the conservative leadership in the country!!!

That assumes there is any. Which there isn't. And never will be again.

[NordP]

She’s in Alaska and they’re doing everything they can to discount her existence and ideas.

[screaminsunshine]

Out of Chaos comes Order. NWO that is.

[advance_copy]

Yep. Darn right.

This is what has become the face of the Republican party over the last 8 years by the RINO's led by Georgie RIno Bush. Once it was beautiful but now it's disfigured.

[muawiyah]

Two questions being asked, but your answer works with both of them.

Leadership, and "capital gains".

With downturns like this reaching back 5 years the stock being sold on today's market is probably being sold at or less than the price paid ~ and that leaves NO CAPITAL GAINS to tax.

WHo said any one was thinking?

“...Why doesn’t the president Fire the Secretary of the Treasury and cut capital gains immediately.

Um... because the President is not a dictator (yet) and he’d need an act of Congress to amend the tax laws.

[pissant]

She supported the bailout.

[John W]

Trying to recall, what was she up to then?

[rfmad]

He could lead that what he payed to do! Unfortunately he is almost invisable.

[pissant]

Busy claiming she did not “have to check her opinions at the door” to join McCain’s campaign, if I recall. Has she since repudiated the bailout?

[KoRn]

When the leader of an ideological movement is a talk show host, that ideological movement has some dammed big problems...

While I agree on the bailout, a capital gains cut is meaningless right now - there are no capital gains to be had so therefore no taxes anyway.

[BuffaloJack]

There are lots of conservatives in this country, but there are no conservative leaders. Once anyone gets an elected position he seems to do whatever it takes to keep his position, even if that means selling out to the liberals.

[John W]

If she didn’t have to publicly follow the top of the tickets lead, that would be a first for a VP candidate in the modern era.

At the rate its going, she may repudiate it any day now. Of course, it no longer is what it was, either.

[buccaneer81]

Absolutely right!

[pissant]

I’m all ears. Hope she gets around to repudiating her support for McCain’s amnesty plan and global warming legislation too.

Why doesn't the president Fire the Secretary of the Treasury

In these closing days of his administration, Dubya is working
on his legacy.

And seems to be doing one heck of a job destroying it.

Once I come to terms with how screwed we are financially,
and how much worse it will get after Inauguration Day...
then I can sigh and reflect on how Dubya's reign ended not in
a bang. But with a wimper. (from lots of people who are looking
at their 401(k) statements.
