Sheila re Chris and Barney

Not only should they step aside, they should be impeached for failing to do due oversight they were in charge of!

I completely agree with Sheila. I am sick to death of the shameless blustering of Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Chuck Schuumer. My hope is that their constituates see them for what they are. That's probably too much to ask.

He and the dems are the guilty party in this mess, and they want the repubs to help bail them out...boohoo.

Step Down

I think pushed out and the door locked behind them. Thank you for coming and have a nice day. Your services are no longer needed.

I see that we had a lovely group today just bagging on the Republicans and of course...wait for it....blaming President Bush. Could they please get a new line?

Take responsibility all of you people. Stop pointing the finger and start solving this. I love how Obama is just wanting to debate. Excuse me for saying this, but no offense McCain and Obama are not the President. They are Senators and they are being paid to be Senators, so senate people. Get in there and come up with a plan that is not going to stick it to the taxpayers.

I saw Maxine Waters on the news today. I think my hair lit on fire after she was done speaking. Another wonderful gal.

I love how they are passing the blame and then you see the media outlets showing past interviews of them and it's like, that's not what I said.

Heck, even Bill Clinton said it was both parties and then of course he pulled the, I was trying to create more regulations, but kept getting blocked.

as I understand it

if this current bill passes, it will have an indemnity clause that will protect all the scumbags (and by that I mean Dem/libs) from going to jail.

The Stupid Party can nail these suckas good this time if they have the fortitude and smarts to do it.

I'm going to hold my breath now...

Can you imagine?

If Republicans were to blame, they would have all had to resign by now.

It's too bad that conservatives fell for the media and the Dems 2006 campaign that the Republican Party was the one of corruption and cronyism. Yes, there were a couple of bad apples, and they were thrown out, along with many good ones.

Why do we fall for it every time and turn against our own?

I am so sick of the left always getting away with this stuff, ruinning the country and then blaming it on republicans...

The dems know just how to get the repubs despirited, and start blaming their side...

I am so tired of republican voters giving up and sitting out the vote, and whinning about our guys, when it's the dems that are destroying the country!

I think there is a virus here on TH...it's been infecting a lot of good people...some have seen the light and injected themselves with anti-virus smarts,and broken away from the negative virus spreaders and I'm glad to see it, but I hope some newbies don't let the infection get to them...

Love how Pelosi was saying how they needed to pass the bill. It is bi-partisan and the President is going for it. What? When did you all of sudden like the President Speaker Lady? Give me a break.

This bailout bill is making me ill. And as for Frank and Dodd, get the heck out and go away. And go Obama for taking so much credit. Please! Gosh, this is giving me a big headache.

Btw, Sue

Speaking of needing an aspirin...you are right about Dod, Barney and the whole dem gang that is right in the middle of the Fannie and Freddie mess! They need to be kicked out! I get sick every time I see their faces on the TV talking about the "greed" on wallstreet. Paleeese! What about the greed in congress, starting at their door? Talk about headache! I'm nauseous! And what about the job they didn't do with oversight?

Tonight on Hannity's America he did a history on the crooks, including Obama, and it was really detailed exposing the corruption of Ob's friends. EVERYONE needs to see what a lier he and his advisors are...I need some Alka Seltzer...

I did see that on Hannity's America. My headache came back in full force.

To me Fannie/Freddie are my big headache. I was in the real estate industry and these two jumbo giants were considered radio active. They were corporations that became political pocket books and vice versa. How many red flags did we need on these two companies? This goes back about 8 years. Hello!

How in the heck can you buy a home and get a mortgage if you have no income and no job. Excuse me? Ugh! Oh wait, an my other favorite was no money down.

Anyway, if you really look at this closely, Lehman Brothers and the other banks bought some of these bundles of bad debt and now they are eating it. Look at BofA. That bought Countrywide and mostly because they had to. They pretty much bought up their own debt.

I think the one that I am having a hard time figuring out is AIG. By the way, of course we had to save that. Pelosi owns tons of stock in that company. Shocking!

I'm not totally sure what's best...on Mike Gallager's show a congresswoman had totally different ideas on how to fix the problem...

Pelosi...why am I not surprised? Democrats are really good at getting away with corruption and conflicts of interest...Reid isn't clean either...remember his sweet property deal?

Oh man, I hope I can keep my sanity 'till the election...;)

And Sue,

I think people are really mad to see Dodd and Barney -not- so- Frank out there lecturing wallstreet on "greed" when they have been the greediest cheaters...

IMO,when Clinton got away with everything he did while president, the crooks in the dem party got the green light to cheat and get away with it, following his example. They knew the media would give them cover, like they did for him.

I really hope we clean house this election, and the next...where's the aspirin...

Ok, y'all (one eighty and commenters)

Let's see, you're all mad as heck, blind with rage, want to see Dodd, Frank, Reid, Pelosi, et al, perp-walked to the slammer. No one's even mentioned Hastings (impeached and disbarred as a judge, but elected as a Democrat to congress) and Jefferson (with the $95k in his freezer).

How about the collegiality from their Republican counterparts ("my friend") and the "reaching across the aisle to get something done" crowd. Sorry, didn't want to cause a run on the aspirin bottles.

Right now, the thugs are getting away with crimes that should be investigated, regarding this meltdown situation...and no one in the propaganda media cares...check out my new post..;)

As to any reaching out...we need to reach out and touch the thugs and shove them out of their committees, and in front of a judge...;)

I am still baffled with Jefferson. Nice to know that his trial will not start until after the election. Gosh golly, hopes he gets elected (and he probably will).

What about Rangel? I saw him on the floor of the House today, screamed, then took some more aspirin and muted the tube!

Nice to know these wonderful folks lead by example!

If we rounded up all of Congress and pointed out all of their "wonderful" dealings, the majority would be in jail.

I saw Pelosi defending the money that was given to her husband's company. Next thing you know, she will start in on how her bed and breakfast did not hire illegal's, it was a clerical air. Same old song and dance my friends!
