My Political Friday

Watching the government created financial mess, I'm appalled that Pres. Bush and the Democrats were so quick, ready and willing to take our money to clean up their mess and give the themselves yet more power. The Democrats and Rino's (Republican in Name Only) came out early and said they had a deal. This was pretty early Friday. Then the House Republican leadership came out about an hour later, and said there was no deal, that they weren't at the negotiations at all, that they weren't even given the opportunity to present another option. The option, instead of confiscating seven hundred billion (being the government you know that it'll be waaaay more than that), recommended that insurance must be purchased, loans made, assets sold by the companies that bought the bad paper. I want to see some heads roll. Franklin Raines was head of Fannie Mae from 1999 to 2005 and walked away with about 90 million, Jamie Gorelick with about 75 million. Since 1989, Fannie and Freddie have spent an estimated $140 million on lobbying Washington. They contributed millions to politicians, mostly Democrats, including Sen Dodd Chris (No. 1 recipient) and Barack Obama (No. 3 recipient, despite only three years in office). Given the propensity for the Democrats to investigate everything that Republicans do, I've got to think that the Republicans didn't have much to do with the political end of the meltdown, or Democrats and the Main Stream Media (MSM) would be calling for investigations. I want to see all the people mentioned above investigated by the FBI. I want to see Chris Dodd and Barney Frank taken off their respective financial committees until hearings are over; foxes in the hen house come to mind. You know if these two guys were Republicans the Democrats and press would be screaming for their heads. Kudos to the Conservative Republicans in the House that put the stops on this, and said 'no' to taking the money from tax payers to finance the results of the colossal stupidity and greed of Congress and corporate greedheads. If Bush, Paulson and Democrats really thought this theft of money from the American people were such a good thing, the Democrats could pass it easily without conservative Republicans. So why don't they?
The vile attacks on Sarah Palin continued, this time by Florida Congressman Alcee Hastings, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. "If Sarah Palin isn't enough of a reason for you to get over whatever your problem is with Barack Obama, then you damned well had better pay attention. Anybody toting guns and stripping [sic] moose don't care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks." Nice....
The day ended with the debates. Libs thought Obama won, Conservatives thought McCain won. Color me surprised.
