Great reply

No, he doesn’t even go down to the street.

He sends his secretary down to grab people literally off the street.

That’s the way it’s advertised - unless you think he’s lying about it.

Well, my point is that the people (off the street) that Hannity interviews are blithering idiots for the most part.

They don’t have the capability for in-depth thought.

If Obama stands up and says the whole thing is Bush’s fault and that he has fixed it - they will probably believe him.

I don’t necessarily believe the polls either, but then again, have you ever heard Hannity’s Man on the Street interviews????

I had it out with an acquaintance over this very thing.

They were trying to lay that bilge on me and I would have NONE of it.

We’re not exactly speaking at the moment - which is fine by me.

I never did like Bush’s “new tone” attitude, but it seems to have rubbed off on McCain.

It’s time to start answering this bilge.

Unfortunately, none of this science will have ANY effect on them whatsoever.

Their attitude and belief system isn’t based on relevant facts. Therefore, all the REAL SCIENCE in the world won’t matter.

Their life is based on nothing more than “anti-human” emotion.

Their reasoning ability is no more advanced than a average teenage girl.

The POLITICO says that they have reached a VERBAL deal.

LOL

A verbal deal with democrats????

Yeah, riiiiiiight!

BEFORE YOU READ THIS - you must understand that this is coming from Nancy Pelosi - a person holding an expired passport to this solar system:

Here is her rendition - I didn’t see a reference to ACORN or foreign banks, but most of the attempts at reassuring the taxpayer are totally bogus:

REINVEST, REIMBURSE, REFORM

IMPROVING THE FINANCIAL RESCUE LEGISLATION

Significant bipartisan work has built consensus around dramatic improvements to the original Bush-Paulson plan to stabilize American financial markets — including cutting in half the Administration’s initial request for $700 billion and requiring Congressional review for any future commitment of taxpayers’ funds. If the government loses money, the financial industry will pay back the taxpayers.

3 Phases of a Financial Rescue with Strong Taxpayer Protections.

• Reinvest in the troubled financial markets … to stabilize our economy and insulate Main Street from Wall Street

• Reimburse the taxpayer … through ownership of shares and appreciation in the value of purchased assets

• Reform business-as-usual on Wall Street … strong Congressional oversight and no golden parachutes

CRITICAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE RESCUE PLAN.
Democrats have insisted from day one on substantial changes to make the Bush-Paulson plan acceptable — protecting American taxpayers and Main Street — and these elements will be included in the legislation

Protection for taxpayers, ensuring THEY share IN ANY profits

• Cuts the payment of $700 billion in half and conditions future payments on Congressional review

• Gives taxpayers an ownership stake and profit-making opportunities with participating companies

• Puts taxpayers first in line to recover assets if participating company fails

• Guarantees taxpayers are repaid in full — if other protections have not actually produced a profit

• Allows the government to purchase troubled assets from pension plans, local governments, and small banks that serve low- and middle-income families

Limits on excessive compensation for CEOs and executives

New restrictions on CEO and executive compensation for participating companies:

• No multi-million dollar golden parachutes

• Limits CEO compensation that encourages unnecessary risk-taking

• Recovers bonuses paid based on promised gains that later turn out to be false or inaccurate

Strong independent oversight and transparency

Four separate independent oversight entities or processes to protect the taxpayer

• A strong oversight board appointed by bipartisan leaders of Congress

• A GAO presence at Treasury to oversee the program and conduct audits to ensure strong internal controls, and to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse

• An independent Inspector General to monitor the Treasury Secretary’s decisions

• Transparency — requiring posting of transactions online — to help jumpstart private sector demand

Meaningful judicial review of the Treasury Secretary’s actions

Help to prevent home foreclosures crippling the American economy

• The government can use its power as the owner of mortgages and mortgage backed securities to facilitate loan modifications (such as, reduced principal or interest rate, lengthened time to pay back the mortgage) to help reduce the 2 million projected foreclosures in the next year

• Extends provision (passed earlier in this Congress) to stop tax liability on mortgage foreclosures

• Helps save small businesses that need credit by aiding small community banks hurt by the mortgage crisis — allowing these banks to deduct losses from investments in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stocks

Office of Speaker Nancy Pelosi – September 28, 2008

Can’t you just see them getting the ACORN subsidy left in that POS bill and then pointing to the fact that BUSH AGREED TO IT to give them cover?

It’s enough to make a person feel the need to look for a handy place to vomit.

Whenever you see references to how well “THE TAXPAYERS” are going to come out, or how much they are looking to protect “THE TAXPAYERS...”

Be afraid, BE VERY AFRAID.

If he actually has to come out and SAY IT, he’s obviously having second thoughts.

As far as I'm concerned almost every Democrat elected official (never mind those in the media, the bureaucracy and the "education"...some would say "indoctrination"... profession) is an enemy of the Constitution. I can't think of a single thing they've done in recent memory that wasn't designed to bring this country down!

Ignore the snivelers. Their kind have brought upon us a 40 year run of leftist control of the entire broadcast and print media, the entire Hollywood community, TV and Motion picture leftwing propaganda, a monopoly in Academia K-12, higher education with leftwing hacks posing as professors to indoctrinate our young people, corrupt Unions, the entire American Bar, a massive gov workforce......I could go on. Any cries of bipartianship are insincere and dangerous. Hear, here, Sharon! I think what we have here is someone practicing for their high school debate team.

" ... and may God have mercy on their souls. Amen." I'll let God worry about their souls.

My TROLL-O-METER is starting to twitch.

Are you going to tell me you want to go to war with your fellow Americans rather than try to engage them in debate, politics and compromise? Uh, YEAH! It's not possible to compromise with them. Compromise and bipartisanship mean democrats get their way. I've had enough of that for one lifetime - thank you.

I can’t name one - not a SINGLE ONE.

OK, hang on here a second.

Are you going to try to tell me that you can look at Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Chuch Schumer and the rest of the usual suspects and tell me IT’S NOT WORTH GOING TO WAR AGAINST THEM?

Are you REALLY trying to tell me you think you can “get along” with them for a better America?????

Really????

I’m telling you there is NO WAY!

And what has “bipartisanship” gotten us?

Hmmmm??????
