Dems Fleeing Washington (Again) for Pre-Election Recess; Another Opportunity for Republicans
Sean Robins | September 19, 2008 | Sean Robins

With the financial crisis enveloping Washington, and the Obama campaign trying to spin it as a Republican problem, Congress is about to go on "vacation" again - like they did in August.

Remember the House Republicans (Genius!!!) who stayed behind, and worked on gas and drilling, while their Dem counterparts fled the Capitol? It was pure genius! And how the Dems have suffered for it.

This is another (and greater) such opportunity. With the financial crisis in full swing, the Dems are fleeing, and saying a lot of embarassng things.

Republicans should remain in town when the dems flee - and both the House and Senate Republicans should hold their own hearings exposing the Democrat genesis of this crisis: Decades of phoney-baloney housing "loans" to people who could not possibly afford them, hundreds of millions of dollars to "community activists" and socialist-oriented organizations to make "affordable housing" available in the form of mortgages that should never have been given.

And at least two formed execs from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as chief advisors to Obama, who personally raped and pillaged public funds for personal gain, causing much of this mess.

It could be a very entertaining "vacation" if the Republicans take advantage of it, stay in town, and beat the heck (metaphorically speaking, of course) out of their pathetic opponents.

Oh... and Herry Reid said that “No one knows what to do...” Gosh, I hope that someone has video of him saying that.

Good! Go on vacation. And stay on vacation. The longer the RATS stay out of Washington, the less they can screw up this country.

Might be time to move the Capitol to the middle of the country, like Nebraska for instance.

Just the other day the Messiah ordered the flock (a.k.a., the Rat Pack) to go forth and get into the faces of the nonbelievers. Attack! attack! attack! ordered the Chosen One.

The DNC (do nothing Congress) is on the way! The hell with our Country! Attack! Attack! Attack!

The scurries of little rat feet are heard all 'round the Beltway and the squeals: squeak! squeak! squeak!

Where are those Pelosi INVESTIGATIONS into the mortgage failures?

Republicans:

Drill within the first 50 miles.

What follows? Lower gas prices and smiles!
