Lucky? Getting aid is now considered "lucky"?

Well, sure. But, it's not luck that's going to determine the largess. I am guessing it will be certain ethnic names and skin color that will become the determining factors.

Hmmmm. 55% Say Government Mortgage Help Rewards Bad Behavior. Obama and Dem's answer - it will help you if you let your neighbor stay in his house because foreclosed homes reduce your home value. Problem is, the bailout will just delay a majority of these home's eventual foreclosures.

Surprise, surprise, Confidence in Stimulus Plan Drops Over Past Week also.

I still can't figure out how Obama's approval numbers aren't in the crapper. Republicans need to start tieing what's happening to our economy directly to Obama instead of merely blaming the Dem. Congress. The buck should stop with O, the blame starts there also.

But this is the essence of liberalism. Using force to make the responsible pay for the consequences of the irresponsible.

But this also explains why Obama's strongest supporters were liberals who never worked a day in their lives (note the huge number of idiotic college students among his supporters).

The first time these folks earn a paycheck, represent an enormous opportunity for the Republican Party to expand its influence.

Give it time. It WILL happen.

We saw the exact same thing happen in New Jersey back in 1989 when Jim Florio was elected governor and promptly embarked on a massive tax-and-spend spree.

Within six months you couldn't find 8 people in the state who would even admit they voted for the guy.

"We put money in a 401(k), and we lost that money, and no one is going to give it back.”

The dictator doesn't care.

He's talking down the market to zero.

And that extra money that you used to put into your 401K?.

It now belongs to him and the lazy filthy animals that put him in office.

"Santelli’s “Network”-style diatribe ...."

Diatribe, eh?

Here's a post I wrote to Lorianne in another thread (it starts with a quote from Lorianne):

“Now it's a ‘tirade’.“

"Maybe they'll print a grandiloquent screed on the subtle differences between “tirade”, “rant” and “diatribe”. They could include a bombastic harangue, explaining why these terms only apply to right-wing polemicists."

The Republican leadership should be screaming from the rooftops that all the porkulus money, taxpayer money, is going to welfare queens and leeches!

What the dumpkopfs over at the RNC don't realize is that class warfare can be a 2 way street.

The lazy filthy scumbags that support robbing peoples retirement in a socialist redistribution scheme are the enemy just as much as their marxist masters.

This is still the bubble — the prices have to come down. You can’t just subsidize some of the people. I don’t know how you deleverage. It is going to be painful, but this is also hurting the people who behaved responsibly.”

...and guess what!? She’d vote for him all over again. Dillusional POS!

Nice to see our great-grandchildren's tax dollars from 2112 hard at work today.

Fixed it for you

There’s still time to take back the country, but we only have a couple of years.

No thanks, it would come with to many strings. Meaning of course, the destruction of the Bill Of Rights.

Lynn Powers, 39, a Bethesda, Md., resident who describes herself as a “liberal Democrat” who has been hardworking, prudent and responsible — and now feels “like a fool.”

You feel like a fool because you are a fool. But, despair not. Redemption is only one election cycle away. Next time, choose wisely.

Well the Messiah will take care all of that tonight with the Speech. It will be Reaganesque says MSNBC. And we will go more into debt with each word he says. And the Dow? Well if he makes a bit of love toward it, perhaps it will go up some. But, if not, it will just knock the rest of my retirement down to zero. No liberal will vote against this guy, ever. He is there until the economy really tanks and then it hits the upper middle class when they find that all this debt had killed off small business.
