Cruelty We Can Believe In

Very Good

and accurate too. Liberals/socialists like our very own Bawney Fwank love to spread the misery around.
MA has a long history of being the laughing stock of the rest of the nation. Only CA can compare to the lunacy that passes for political leadership in Massachusetts.

Great piece, Mr. Gear.

Joining Congressman Frank on a perp walk, I recommend Christopher Dodd, Maxine Waters, Franklin Raines, Bill Clinton (on his knees) and Jimmy Carter (in a wheelchair, all in the first wave.

For reasons we need not explore, Barney Frank will lead, since we don't want him following anyone . . . closely.

Kerry and Kenndy should go too

I too am one of those that question if the good people of Massachusetts have any sense whatsoever. It would seem that the obvious answer is a resounding NO, as they keep sending these tax and spend liberals back into their offices each and every election.

How sad for them and for all of America.

Barney....

It's so funny that you wrote about this because last night on Sean Hannity, he had a republican actor on that was wondering why the white house is trying to investigate things Bush did but not Barney Franks who is most responsible for this mortgage mess.

I think they have tried to distract people from doing that like they have been trying to distract people with Rush Limbaugh...

Harry Hypocrisy Reid too

Remember when the 700 billion bailout failed?

We all thought Congress listened to us. But then, Harry Reid arrives on the scene to swoop up the failed House Bill and attach it as an Amendment to a Senate Bill.

All of this for the bankers and President George Bush, a republican, and not one peep out of the liberals.

Note pleas that the Constitution provides "All Bills for raising the revenue must originate in the House," and technically this bill originated in the House, BUT it had no revenue provisions in it when presented, no changes to the tax code beign made. Not until after packaged as a "vehicle" to re-submit it to the house as an Amendment to a SENATE Bill did it have revenue provisions, which then do not originate in the House.

Thus, according to the Constitution, the 700 billion bailout was dead, and Harry Reid exercised illegal maneuvers to get it passed...For the Banks and republica George Bush no less.

Not against Bush, just don't get the whole driving force behind Harry Reid going out of his way to get this bill passed in days without even a review, and, not one liberal blames him for not letting the bill die, nor do I hear much from conservatives either about this, and the waste of money it was exacerbating our current situation.

Also in regard to "fairness"

I posted a little something along the lines of what you have here:

I hope you enjoy it. I didn't post it here at the Hall because it was more to the point of the site to me. Maybe I should, I don't know.

'This is like cutting the break cables on the car and then removing the guardrails from the road.'

Good analogy
