I thought something was wrong. I could only get one page of threads.
Too bad that I can’t argue with your choices... Yes, especially President Bush. He has disappointed me way too many times...
Frank and Dodd, with their history, shouldn’t even be involved in this.
Yes I thought Neil was great.Cool and collected.Shep was his usual hysterical self.We dont normally watch the show but did tonight.The missus ,who is not that political and is very gentle, said “watching Shep is like watching a young Dan Rather,then she smiled sweetly.Now you know why I married her!!!!
I hope a thorough eye scrubbing followed a trip to the DUmp.
My eyes ... they burn ...
“Wasn’t Nixon Inaugurated In Ja. ‘69?”
Yes, but what the heck. If Roosevelt could address the nation on television (that didn’t exist except in a lab) before he was even elected then Nixon could take over the Vietnam war before he was inaugurated. /s
How ironic, I was just squeezing my teabag.
Frank is a hateful, treacherous pile of slime.

Can this guy sink any lower??
Nixon wasn't president in 1968! He was inaugurated in Jan. 1969!
I heard that and I believe it. I think the dems are deliberately over reacting in order to scare the people into backing this deal. President Bush has been fed a bill of goods. I have always noticed that a push for speed is usually because someone wants to push through a bad deal before it can be examined. We had a real estate agent try to pull this on us once.
There are a whole number of folks who for almost a decade have been talking about lax loan standards, excessive leveraging, and the danger of betting on loan defaults.
Until maybe a year ago, they were derided as "permabears" and "contrarians" who just wanted to throw a big smelly wet blanket on the great party everyone else was having.
Notice that none of them were ever appointed to run the Treasury. Or the Fed. Or made partner at Morgan or Goldman. You get the picture??
Well....since Dodd, Schumer, Bernanke and Paulson were all MAJOR party-hearty guys back then, it's no surprise that they're a little bit shy about telling the public what the REAL problems are.
How would that affect Pelosi, Frank and Company which do not stand state-wide elections? The House controls the purse and the 17th Amendment doesn’t, I think, affect representatives. Or should we wait for a quiet time to pursue this? ;o)
Democrats used legal means to force banks to lend to non-creditworthy customers. In return, Dems promised to protect banks from failure. Unfortunately, Dems never studied history or they'd see how quickly their house of cards would fall once a critical piece was removed.
It's nothing but a big payola racket.
Slime is embarrassed to be referenced in the same sentence with Barney
This mug is very unsettling. His fellow House Member: David Dreier - California, is gay like Barney but ten times better looking. Side by side photos will prove my point./Just Asking - seoul62......
And he is lucky his really good friends don't have to look him in the face.
