Senators Gregg & Dodd Make Love On Air Over TARP
Video: "Healthcare is hanging by a thread" -- January 11, 2010
There's a lot in this clip. The TARP bailout strokefest begins at the 2 minute mark. You don't want to miss this one. Judd Gregg needs to follow Dodd straight out of Washington.
- "Everyone feels, I guess, to some degree who have been for this, that they would have liked something different, and that's not uncommon when you're considering an issue of this magnitude," Dodd said.
- Health care reform is "hanging on by a thread," and one or two votes could determine the outcome of the heavily-debated bill, Democratic Sen. Chris Dodd told CNBC Monday.
- Dodd also said he thinks it would be a "travesty" not to confirm Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's nomination, and that in the absence of taxpayer money, the government should have no say in banks' compensation practices.

THIS omellette CANNOT be unscrambled.
THAT precisely was my main concern when I realized GW Bush was an illiterate, bungling moron who would do NO END of damage to this country & its already-weakened institutions. And I believe we can ALL concur that he did NOT let me down in my expectations. And yet despite his first 4 years my fellow Americans chose to give him a SECOND shot at sinking us still further, in response to which ol' GW gleefully jumped back to the chore, rolled-up his sleeves and set to digging us still deeper again. Is it any wonder that corporate interests somehow ran ROUGHSHOD over this pea-brained moron? Of course not. It would have been amazing IF THEY HADN'T.
NOW we've got a openly corrupt, lying POS who is apparently making a point out of NOT keeping any of his campaign promises while at the same time accelerating every suicidal policy of the previous administration. The die is cast with these two assholes alone, never mind their predeccesors.
Oh, this ship isn't "ABOUT" to hit an iceberg; it already HAS hit it quite awhile back and while the dipshits are dancing on the deck & playing with the ice , underneath the cold waters of the Atlantic are quietly flooding us belowdecks with trillions of gallons of DEBT & FRAUD.
republican-democrat...it's usually the same result either way...
in a nutshell i don't trust the republicans any more on spending and i never liked their social policies or penchant for war...their rhetoric on spending and deficits has been just that...empty words...they were awful...plus they support wall street and the bailouts...the only difference these days is health care...it's a big difference granted, but it's the only one...
both parties are tax and spending machines...it's a fucking racket...
700 billion and counting for next year's war on terror (or whatever Barry wants to call it). Remember when they used to call it Rumsfeld's war? DB, you need to watch this video and listen to his words. I think Rumsfeld is a true American hero, I don't believe the media (silly me). When Bush was pressured by the left and the media into letting Rumsfeld go, the shit starting hitting the fan. I copy pasted the last four paragraphs because they ring so true.

Video - Part of Speech...

Under the President's leadership, this country made a decision to confront the extremist ideology of hatred that spawned a worldwide movement, and to take the fight to the enemy. The alternative was inaction and defense, a pattern that history has shown only emboldens the enemy.
Our country has taken on a bracing and difficult task -- but let there be no doubt, it is neither hopeless, nor without purpose. Leadership is not about doing what's easy. It's about doing what's right, even when it's hard -- especially when it's hard. President Lincoln once said, "Determine the thing that can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way to do it."
That remains true today. We're in what will be a long struggle. It's new, it's complex, and even after five years, it's still somewhat unfamiliar. That we have been successful -- I would add, fortunate -- to have suffered not one single attack here at home since September 11, 2001, has contributed to a misperception in some quarters that the threat is gone. It is not.
As I leave, I do feel urgency, but I also feel optimism. I know that the American people can summon the same grit that helped our founders forge from a wilderness a new frontier. I know it because I've seen it over my own lifetime. It's the same steel that sent our fathers and grandfathers across oceans to defend free nations from tyrants; that same grit that gave the Americans to endure 40 years of a Cold War under the specter of nuclear annihilation.
So it is with confidence that I say that America's enemies should not confuse the American people's distaste of war, which is real, and which is understandable, with a reluctance to defend our way of life. Enemy after enemy in our history have made that mistake to their regret.
and please understand, that you are quoting rumsfeld, who said afghanistan is where al qaeda resides BUT all the good targets are in iraq...
the iraq war has been a joke from the beginning...1 trillion dollars...and Saddam WASN"T even an extremist...in fact he had a personal hatred for Bin Laden...
how can you possibly think that was a good idea from rumsfeld?
Look out DB, it is the dreaded scamper and run tactic.
"DB, I don't know why you keep selling that line. You are part of a very small percentage of people who can't see the huge differences, especially these days with Barry and the Dems agenda. Yes, I get why you keep saying it but it really is silly."
Wow, all that fro a man who supported pro abortion, pro same sex marriage, cross dressing, anti gun, adulterer, Rudy. Come on Gobias, are you truly sure that you understand the differences? yellow or red, it all meets in the same place in the end. By the way, remember you even admitted you liked his social platform, that means nobody was holding a gun to your head.
I know you are better than that. DB is right, it is all a racket, and it is time for it to end.
Completely unreasonable leftist platform.

Giuliani stated that "human beings are contributing to" global warming. In a December 2007 interview with CBS News anchor Katie Couric. Supports stem cell research, civil unions, illegal alien rights, and abortion.

"Rudy is more pro-choice (advising women against abortion)"
Advising women against abortion is pro life in the Mid West.
"Please don't assume to know where I stand on anything."
I am not assuming, you told us you supported his social agenda. You are the one assuming that everyone else is left wing. Men do not dress as women where I live, not even at Halloween, they would get their ass kicked. Though I seen some strange birds in Jersey and NYC.
"Gomp, you shouldn’t run your mouth about things you don’t know about. It makes you sound like more of an ass."
I follow the actions of politicians, because the words in the speeches are always lies that a speechwriter wrote, follow the actions and the money, not the words. You gotta let me know how you do that mentalist thing, You cannot fathom the depths of me being an ass. Some say it is one of my finer attributes.
"I don’t know why I try to correct you, you can’t and don’t learn."
Oxymoron.
"Go look up his positions on the issues and until then, shut your stupid pie-hole you retard."
I already did, did I tell you I used to work in Jersey city and NYC? I used to live in Raritan NJ, ever been to uncle Vinnies clam bar Jersey boy? East coast right, is mid west left.
I won't call you foul names though, It is my New Years resolution, besides, I find it distasteful to insult the handicapped.
Just a thought, this might happen because you start all this sexist, racist, leftist, crap while following a yellow path, fly in like a seagull and shit all over the place, and then scamper and run. Do you think this might have something to do with it.
Between you and Kens "COWARDS WITH NO BALLS go revolt and trash shit while I throw up nonviolent disclaimers to protect myself from conspiracy charges", I want to be the General, no you be the General, eat the artillery ( I still have not figured that out). This is better than Saturday Night Live.
Bender: You forgot ugly, lazy and disrespectful.
You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And it’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations (Obama).
I want to see my government be more transparent (Hillary).
Barry is a fraud (Gobias).
I never said that I would be fair and balanced (DB).
You are right, I did forget those other two about Rudy (Judy), but I did mention ugly, next to the pictures of him in drag.
"p.s. This black boy Barack Obama (Carter), he is the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man (Biden). He's light-skinned with no Negro dialect (Harry Reid). The only problem is that he is talking down to black people. I want to cut his nuts off (Jesse Jackson). A few years ago, this guy would be getting us coffee (Bill Clinton)."
Gobias racial attack number three.
"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them. And it’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations (Obama)."
I lived in Pennsylvania also (York, Gettysburg, and Pittsburg) who made the jobs go away? Your heroes love trade deals and outsourcing and immigrant labor.
