The Democrats will certainly not improve things....

We have them in the do nothing congress-they are the power in there and it is a joke.

What did the Congress led by Republican President do that was sooo great?

What is better now than it was when President Bush took office?

Economy slight economic downturn #2

Stock Market Yo yo

Mortgages We are now bailing out mortgage companies!

Gas Prices Now we may be seeing 5.00 per gal (TV this morn).

Housing/ Building No need to even comment.

Home values continuing to fall.

In the time before the next election, if these problems

are not addressed, more and more good American's will

loose their homes, and more importantly their dreams

of a future. Even people not affected yet will be. I

wonder if, maybe by then, more of the backers will then see the light. I don't care if you are Democrat or Republican, someone needs to act soon!

I'd hit it

Republican Congress with Republican President

i am not happy with the direction bush has taken this country and the liberties he has gotten away with. i knew he would screw up the country, as he did everything else he attempted. he is a loser by inclination.

in my worst nightmare, it never occurred to me that he would be able to become a dictator, and would be able to eliminate habeas corpus.

i blame the democrats starting with gore. he could have appealed to congress and and the senate. he could have used clinton, who would have helped him.

i believe it was maxine waters that offered up some bill that would require the congress to make a decision about the election. she needed one senator to sign on and because not one democrat did, history is being made. we are killing innocent iraqis and innocent young american men and women and those that are not killed come home with out arms, legs, and in many cases

mentally destroyed. see the movie "home of the brave" and you will get an understanding of what our troops are going through, with no end in sight, and nothing to accomplish.

kerry didn't deserve to win either. where was his fight to correct the fraud in ohio.

leaders to not give up that easily, i think if you run for the office of the president, you should give up you seat in the senate. your either in or your out.

the fools, and i am one of them that post pictures and call these women ugly, think like high school dropouts.

pelosi, having risen to the top, has curdled instead of becoming cream. (do you remember milk before it was homogenized?) her mission was to put a stop to bush's madness. she hasn't tried hard enough. why is kucinich pressing for impeachment and why is pelosi not helping him. why are they trying to make him look nuts because he saw a UFO. commercial airline pilots see them and the austronauts have seen them.

i suspect pelosi will be gone at the end of her term.

hillary is just a continuation of politics. why she wants to be president, other then her ego, is beyond me. she floats with the tide and drifts with the wind, but she is an odds on favorite to win the presidency.

i would rather obama win, or even edwards. i believe they have a genuine interest in improving the quality of life for americans.

i have little to say about the republicans with the 911 man and fred thompson, the man from tv as their heroes.

your lobotomy seems to have helped you.

do you even know what a lobotomy is any more. you probably don't know or care. see i told you it helped you,

Well thought out, well written, and that gives me hope for the American people. And I appreciate that you

took the time, and stuck your neck out to make some good points, from both sides of the isle. Thank you

It is funny,

How Shrub is now trying to redefine himself as a "Fiscal conservative".

Hell, Bill Clinton was a fiscal conservative, compared to Shrubby Boy, and the previous Congress. In fact, I think a couple of lesbians would do a much better job of running the country than the Shrub and his yesmen.

i don't know much about lesbians, but gay men dominate many channels.

HGTV

shows about how women should dress.

shows about redoing a room or a house.

queer eye for the straight guy.

and most apartments that have ben decorated seem to have two men living together.

i think lesbians dominate porn.

note to drywalldog

my post #29 shows i can get down into the gutter also.

All men have the ability to crawl into the gutter, it's just harder for some to crawl out.

Wow, I didn't think it could get much worse when I wrote on this thread, was I ever wrong. I just over react right? And don't complain that Palin shouldn't be attacked, when you do this kind of crap.

Palin is off limits.......didn't you know that?

Charlie

Charlie-I'll take your word on it.

If you want to engage in verbal political discourse make sure you have the ammo. There are certainly many areas that share the blame for the current financial mess. That includes our president who is NOT conservative. However. The major blame is sitting with the democratic party who in their desire to make as many people dependent on government (after all, that's how they stay in power)pressured banks to give mortgages to people with no ability to pay it back. When all these mortgages fail, the democrats then wail about the failure of the market and how they will come to the rescue to fix a problem that they created. And we all say yes, yes, help us! How stupid can we be?

35. I see it a little bit different from you, and most others on here. The problem wasn't so much about subprime mortgages, as it was people living on their

homes as a form of income. Home values go up, they take out more money, living on the edge of a cliff, in rainy season. Work slows down or stops completely for a whole sector of people, and the mortgages they made, they couldn't make anymore. And it's not like they were just a little short, with no work they quickly fall behind. Now the rest of the economy spirals down, even people who have conforming loans are losing their jobs and houses, and retirements. I'm not for the bailouts, but don't know how many here want a quick dose fix that will come if everything fails, cause it would take years to recover from that, if not decades.

And by the way, the bail out bills are spondsored by President Bush, and his cabinet, not the Democrats, I guess they just got on board because the thought it was important enough. And since this was caused by the Democrats wanting everyone to be able to own their own home, how come Republican's didn't correct the problem when they knew about it and owned presidency and congress?

#37...because they said everything was fine.

Watch this...

Starting in 2001...The Bush Administration warned about the failure of Fannie and Freddie.

You're going to blame someone that raised awareness?

Good luck with that one.

did not need to open this.

C'mon guys, be a little more explicit with pic post titles, please.

lol

By the way one of the major players in the bid to provide mortgages to those with no ability to re pay it was an organization known as ACORN. A self proclaimed community activist organization which has a community organizer named Barak Obama. So now you know what he did as a "community activist"
