The Party's Over Or Nancy Go Home.

Nanci Pelosi, liberal Democrat and head of the Congress from San Francisco, has no common sense. Here we have a crucial vote on a major economic bailout and instead of coaxing the opposing team to her side through logic and persuasion, she take a moment on the floor prior to the vote to blame every economic ill on the Republican party. She kind of glossed over the attempts in 2003 and 2005 to get better oversight on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. And do you want me to believe that only Republicans were making hay while the sun shined on a booming market? Many of the problems coming to fruition are the result of policies starting back as early as 1996. What I find odd is how a bill that was three pages last Thursday can suddenly swell to 101 pages today. Does the word "earmarks" ring a bell?

 For every expenditure passed by the Congress there have been countless earmarks riding along like the bloodsucking parasites that wrote them on bills that needed to be passed. Frankly, while the party may be over, I don't think Pelosi realizes that the party may be over for everyone. There were just as many Democrats that reneged on that vote as Republicans. And as I recall, the Democrats hold the majority in the House. So whose fault is it that they didn't fall in lockstep with this legislation? Or are there hidden clauses and earmarks that may come back and sting like hell when outed in the media? This was the result of middle America making their preferences known. For too long the government has been run by many for the benefit of a few. That's backasswards.  It's time that Congress learns who is boss. And the way to do that is to note how YOUR representatives votes, to note if they have stood up for YOU. If not, they aren't your creature anymore and you owe them no loyalty. Remember that come November.

Nancy Pelosi is an IDIOT! Less then two weeks ago she was holding press releases claiming that the bush administration and the Republicans were making bad choices as far as the bailouts of AIG, Indy Mac, and all the others that got a helping of taxpayer money. A day later it was revealed that she was pushing for a $50 BILLION bailout of the Detroit Three. That was smart, wasn't it?
Now to the present bailout talk... is it just me, or do some of you find that Harry Reid's appointment of Christopher Dodd to head the proposal and writing of this bailout a conflict of interest? Shouldn't Dodd have recused himself since he is on the oversight banking committee on Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae of which he also recieved millions in donations from, in fact Dodd ranks among the top five recievers of cash donations from the now troubled financial sector. Didn't he promise to protect "the saftey and soundness of our financial institutions"? Well as we all can see... that worked out real well... NOT. This is the guy that the democratic majority is trusting to oversee the making of a $800 BILLION bailout to the same people he took money from. I guess we know who will get the red carpet treatment from the financial sector.
Doesn't look good.

Frankly, there are lots of folks on the take that will make money on this bailout. I hope that at some point a complete investigation holds out who was on the take, from whom and how much. Of course, you can go to opensecrets.org and find out who is lobbying and chatting up and giving money to candidates, but frankly, when you consider Obama actually defended ACORN in court, there's something pretty fishy with the entire deal.

FYI this proposed bailout was only a few pages tpo start with and less complicated too!! THen they added things like...
A tax break for those riding their bikes to work...
A tax break for Directors filming in the United States...
All this supposively, to make certain Senators happy with the plan!!!
Amazing isn't it?
And ACORN??? Nice how Obama trained them and they are being indicted left and right for manufacturing thousands of FAKE voter registrations!! Hard to believe people are so blind.

I am a teacher, a mother and wife and I like to think I am a pretty good citizen. I read ALOT. I also write a good deal on various blogs. I appreciate a chance to respond to what we see in the news. I think that by posting our opinions we can probably find that everyone is more alike than we are willing to admit. Face it, people just like to argue. I would also like to say how much I appreciate having a forum for my views.
