Finance, commercial real estate, the Democrat and Republican elite are all one big internal bickering party.

So, they are not going to lose.

(That means me and you, sucka. Pay up!)

Democratic strategist / commentator Bob Beckel has been saying this, but without the /sarc tag.

GW was big government Hoover to Obama’s bigger big government FDR.

Hoover built the tinder, lit the match to government policy that set off the Depression. Ditto the unread, incurious, basically nice guy GW.

Even when the housing inventory is sold off, prices are going to be low enough to make it difficult to want to start building. And of course, WE all know that the biggest driver of appliance sales is new houses, not Dollars for Dishwashers (why would we want to stimulate China’s appliance industry anyway?)....

No doubt about that.

I have some minor hope that enough disaster will awaken the American people (those who work and pay taxes) that the Democrat/Republican schism is phony.

It’s the liars, thieves, and sociopaths of the United States Congress - Democrats AND Republicans - that are the true enemies of America.

Zer0 is merely a symptom.

Without the sociopath U.S. Congress Zer0 would be impotent.

One of the signs in the Washington 9-12 demonstration:
“We’ve Come Without Guns. This time.”
That set me to thinking.

the Democrat/Republican schism is phony.

reminds me of professional wrestling . . . trash talk each other in front of the camera and go out drinking together after the show.

One time Congressional House leader, Tip O’Neil, said that they lost the working class to Reagan.

So, they just imported ignorant, no property owning, welfare needing, knee walking hat in had to Democrats or their Brownshirt organizations like Acorn and community activists like Harvard manufactured props like Obambi.

Bob Dole owed a Florida beach front condo next to his good friend, head of the DNC( I forget his name.). How about Orwin ‘Beatle Head’ Hatch and his love of his life, Ted Kennedy?

To compare these guys with Pro Wrestling is an insult to Wrestling.

What happened to all the green shoots?

Obama pimped our capitalist ride and turned it into a green shoot mower.

The public will blame who ever is in power at the time. Period. Big gains for Republicans in 2010.
