Oh, and another thing. We have to get back on the gold standard.

Let's get down to facts, shall we?
The GOP is going to vote on a "Purity Resolution" today, proposing that all Republican Candidates must adhere to at least 8 out of 10 Conservative Values (taxes, illegal immigrants, guns, gays, etc) or be denied GOP funding. It is an attempt to bring the TRUE BELIEVERS and the REPUBLICAN PARTY together.
Now,.....my money says the party of NO is going to say no to this.
Looks like business as usual over at the GOP.

CCC:

No, it gives YOU freedom of speech.

Cheney said it is unpatriotic to question Pres. Bush during wartime! In other words, say nothing!!!

However, when Cheney criticizes Obama, it's his right to question him.

Yeah, the freedom of speech to buy elections courtesy of The SC.

Sure, you can have all the free speeches you want. But you better check yourself before you wreck yourself. The Republican Party is embarassed by you. You're a TOOL to them. They LAUGH at you behind closed doors. But they sure appreciate your vote. There's no MONEY in teabagger beliefs. That's why the Republicans will never fund it. It's too much like giving money to hard working Americans.

Some quotes from George Carlin.

"Conservatives say if you don't give the rich more money, they will lose their incentive to invest. As for the poor, they tell us they've lost all incentive because we've given them too much money."

"Have you ever wondered why Republicans are so interested in encouraging people to volunteer in their communities? It?s because volunteers work for no pay. Republicans have been trying to get people to work for no pay for a long time."

"Once you leave the womb, conservatives don't care about you until you reach military age. Then you?re just what they?re looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."

Conse 'Pubs are for the military and honor, except when it comes to giving them more than the minimum increase in pay and benefits. Why? We cannot afford it!

And that is why Carlin is a great comedian and a friend of the family ha ha

Jimmy got that right.

"After President Obama spoke, the Republicans gave their rebuttal, during which they pointed out that Obama has repeatedly failed to solve any of the problems they created under President Bush." -Jimmy Kimmel

[The Conquistador]

“Liberals seem to assume that, if you don't believe in their particular political solutions, then you don't really care about the people that they claim to want to help”-Thomas Sowell

"One of the most pervasive political visions of our time is the vision of liberals as compassionate and conservatives as less caring."-Thomas Sowell

"People who identify themselves as conservatives donate money to charity more often than people who identify themselves as liberals. They donate more money and a higher percentage of their incomes."-Thomas Sowell

That means if Obama does nothing or what you wanted, you'd be happy?

If things failed doing things your way, you would not criticize Obama?

And I laugh at their religious beliefs, but I appreciate them not turning this country into a socialist country. So they have my vote.

No money? Tell that to Senator Brown.

Don't you know the liberal mantra? BUSH DID IT!

Looks like TARP is failing. What a waste of money.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010...-created-risk/

The problems that led to the last financial crisis have not yet been addressed, and in some cases have grown worse, says Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the trouble asset relief program, or TARP. The quarterly report to Congress was released Sunday.

The government's bailout of financial institutions deemed "too big to fail" has created a risk that the United States could face a worse fiscal meltdown in the future, an independent watchdog assigned to review the program told Congress on Sunday.

The Troubled Assets Relief Program, known as TARP, has not addressed the problems that led to the last crisis and in some case those problems have festered and are a bigger threat than before, warned Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general at the Treasury Department.

"Even if TARP saved our financial system from driving off a cliff back in 2008, absent meaningful reform, we are still driving on the same winding mountain road, but this time in a faster car," Barofsky wrote.

Barofsky wrote the $700 billion financial bailout has encouraged more risk-taking because bank executives, who are still receiving massive bonuses, figure the government will come to the rescue the next time they steer their ships nearly aground.

"The market mentality now seems fixed that the U.S. government will continue to step in and bail out giant financial institutions," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. "The IG's findings confirm my decision to oppose releasing $350 billion in TARP funds last year and my recent vote to terminate the program altogether."

Anymore questions TAL?

I said it a year ago... Obama had better learn the lessons of why the financial crisis happened in '08 and prevent them from happening again. And I'm talking about the REAL reasons Randy & Jim. Not this Bush-Did-It crap. Because that line may fool liberal voters but it doesn't address the real problem. And until we confront the real problem, it will not go away!
