Madoff gets over a hundred years for stealing a few billion dollars.

The current administration walks after stealing trillions.

Hmmmmm . . . .
Walked right into a horrible situation (several of them, actually) and spends most waking minutes trying to rectify it. Id love to have an alternate history crystal ball to see how Mr. McCain would have handled all of this.
He'd be cussin somebody the hell out for sure. :razz: :-D

***Pauses from passing out shovels to the middle class***

Comrades....Now it is Chairman Zero's mess. Do not speak of the former
capitalist, freedom-loving President of the last administration.

YES, he delivered us victory in Iraq... and YES, our state-controlled media
and far-left liberal machine will never admit it or give him credit for it -
even as our torture-crazed stormtroopers leave Iraqi cities.

However, he is yesterday's news - damaged goods.

Never question the Fearless Leader's judgement!

Now - take your shovels and commence the peoples' work.

Personal belief... McCain would be bleeding us to death with paper cuts, as opposed to going straight for the jugular. Same end result, just a slower time frame.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. employers cut 467,000 jobs in June, far more than expected, while the unemployment rate rose to 9.5 percent, the government said on Thursday in a report that showed a labor market continuing to struggle with a deep recession.

Sixty percent (60%) of U.S. voters now oppose the passage of a second economic stimulus plan this year, a five-point increase in opposition since the issue was first raised in March.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 27% of voters favor a new stimulus plan, unchanged from the earlier findings. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.

And how many are saying, "See, I told you that they would use this line when things don't turn around and we lose more jobs than they are saying we will"?

How short they think our memories are. We were told by these same people there would be utter destruction without that porky $800 billion "stimulus" bill. Complete and immediate economic meltdown. We had to have it and have it fast or be doomed. Surely I'm not the only one who remembers this?

And that was not a partisan comment. We got the exact same message from the previous administration regarding its bill a couple of months earlier.

Comrades, vote the bums out - and let's take our country back.

What part of "they work for US" don't they understand?

If it takes a third party, lets' get it on already!

I'm fine with the two party system. I just want all the corrupt representatives replaced with honest ones... men and women with moral integrity and solid values. Men and women who put the good of the nation higher on their list of priorities than getting re-elected.

Well said Elf, but who can we trust?

Who still serves THE PEOPLE - instead of their own selfish agenda?

Tell me that, and I'll back them 110%.

I don't care WHICH state they serve.
