And our president went right along. sickening... any other country, Paulson would be in front of a firing squad about now.
I would be in favor of using paulson as a light pole ornament for the Christmas season. Just as long as you got him down before new years, he may start to smell.

Pirates aren’t only found off the coast of Somalia.
When they are finished looting the government they will be coming after our life savings and retirements and then they will give us the best gift of all a DEPRESSION. Lets all sit back and let them have thier way, like good little lemmings!
bump for later
Congress must have been in recess for a few years!
Because it’s Bush’s Fault, of course.
>If true it indicates a far more serious problem in this country than most of us had ever imagined.
>Think about it, a non elected official threatening to impose something that the president himself would
>have trouble imposing.
That’s ok, we’ll soon get a president who WAS elected and though he may be unqualified, his Civilian Defense Force will put an end to such speculation as Martial Law! [/cynic]
BTTT

One word in your statement sums it up, care to guess which one?
In a robotic monotone voice:
I am so surprised. The government doesnt’ understand economics or the free market and was duped by a wall street insider...biddy biddy biddy biddy...
Look no further than the colusion of the treasury and FDIC in the seizure of the still very solvent and functioning washington mutual with 150 billion in investment grade deposits and giving it to JP Morgan Chase for practically nothing. And then on top of it, giving them, and 4 other of the biggest US financials, 25 billion each with 0 strings attached of tax payer money under the guise of it was supposed to be used to provide loans to businesses and individuals, but instead, they are hording it and mostly going to use it to takeout smaller competitors, pay bonuses, and maintain their dividend payouts.
Total ripoff at the expense of the tax payers and smaller businesses by the biggest US financials and the treasury which resembles a satellite office of Goldman Sachs these days.
Those advocating such violence are the ones who deserve it, themselves.
Paulson has done nothing morally wrong. His advice on Lehman was inexpedient, in the direction of appeasing people like you too much, that is the worst that can be said about him.
And all our representatives were duly consulted and constitutionally agreed, all exactly as it should have been done. You don't like it, tough freaking toenails, you lost. Period.
Martial LAw? By whose authority.
Americans have lost the ability to be freemen. Certain;y the Senators who accepted such a declaration have lost that ability.
No one declares martial law in the USA without an act of Congress.
This is actually a part of the leftist Coup on America.Soros is somehwere in the thick of this behind the scenes. Obama is not qualified under Article II of the Constitution.
It all adds up to "Coup".
The facists who Jonah Goldberg warned us about in his book have arrived. Yet we do not treat them as such.
Well , we need to treat them as the fascisti they are!
No Coup. No Obama, and certainly no Paulsen,who should be arrested and clapped in irons.!
If paulson actually made this statement, then we know for certain who is really in charge of this country. Even if this was a musing or an idle threat, it gives us an idea of what is going on in Paulson’s head. Just because he’s in charge of keeping the gold, he isn’t allowed to make the rules. The American People decide that. Anything more means pitchforks and torches for Mr. Paulson.
Thanks, Candor7.
