Americans, take a look at right win. They are the snakes .
John Boehner and the rethuglicans are nothing less than domestic terrorists. Boehner has the absolute nerve to bring up the idea of plans to hold the American people hostage AGAIN over a budget that rethugs produced and tortured us last summer over.
Every rethuglican must be kicked OUT of the House of Reps and the Senate as well as every state house. Rethugs have one goal in mind: get rid of poor people, seniors, unions, etc. so they can take the country over and make it into their own personal country club while securing a vast class of slaves to work in their behalf.
Send a message to Boehner telling him to STOP terrorizing the American people! And stand up for the 99% by getting rid of rethugs in offices.
Nancebell, What I don't understand is why half the country thinks it's a great idea to have these pimps and prostitues in charge of this country.
And further, why they think it's a good idea to put one in the white house who doesn't even need the money. In fact, for this particular Wall Street prostitute it will be a huge pay cut.
Maybe when you have as much money as Mitt, all that's left to crave is power.
How about stop calling names
Sorry, Steve, I call them as I see them. You don't have to agree, do you. I was actually going to call them much worse.
I see Romney as an enemy; a dangerous enemy.
And there's nothing wrong with my vision.

Scroll down to May 15, the one about Romney's Bain Capital.
I rest my case, Steve.
Nancebelle (#44) :
U got THAT Correct (as opposed to "right" wing) !!
The REAL terrorists in this wurld ORIGINATED RIGHT HERE... well, over on the other side of the pond first. THEN, they found there way over HERE, commandeering the continent frum the folks who ORIGINALLY inhabited it... CLAIMING to their progeny ( us !! ) how THEY (WE) "DISCOVERED" IT, blah, blah, blah, blah.. . U know the rest of the "story" (OH...let's not 4git the likes of the KKK. CIA, DEA, NSA and all the rest.)
And THAT'S one of the ways of the ganster / robber-baron / TERRORIST extraordinaire !!
BTW, besides getting repo party politicians OUT OF POWER TOTALLY, frum the U.S. Senate and Congress, the state governorships and their henchmen hidin' out in the corresponding state capitols, we need to ALSO round up the religious extremists here, while responsible citizens in the various north African countries round up THEIR religious extremists... THEN we air drop them all onto a remote, undeveloped, unpopulated, arid region, outfitted with reality tv camera crews-- and let them blow each other (up).
It's a win-win scenario : we raise $$ for charity while "cleansing" our respective populations of the cancer that is narrow-minded, self-righteous, ignorant extremism.
anything U like 2 add ?? :>)
India...
Mitt Wouldn' be getting a pay cut... Remember, he gets a slice of Bain Capital's profits, worth $21 million last year, whether he works or not...
Running the Presidency wouldn't be much more than his speaking fees, which, as you know, aren't all that much... just $374,000...
yes we should regulate. The Republicans are acting like tyrants, their way or no way.They want everything to fail so they can say told you so. They don't want Obama to succeed at anything even if it helps all of us.
Yes. I think if they keep messing with our money, they need to go to jail.I think that all people should take there money out of the banks and put it under a mattress.They want to take our money but don't want to give you nothing in return. Have you had a look at your savings account lately? That's what I mean.
@rich. I don't understand your comment "they give you nothing in return" ... if you're talking about interest rates, that's the Fed setting interest rates low, not the banks. To play devil's advocate: you don't NEED to have a bank account .... (well you do sort of these days to get paid, but that's another story.) anyway, try going to Europe: my Danish family members have to PAY just to have an account (never mind getting no interest!) just another perspective......
DANISHEYES - That means that RICH is right about taking ALL your money out of the bank and keeping it at home.Now where you stash it,that's your choice.I only keep enough in my account to keep it open since what RICH said is true.Eventually they will start charging us for having an account there so why not keep it at home ?
#45, Rich, They're not giving us any interest anyway. It's absurd. The mattress would do as well as the bank.
I'd say the mattress works for me, at least I know it will be there next year. Why bother with the banks or credit unions.
TOYOTA - How does a GUN CABINET sound to you ? I have a couple of them that takes a barrel type of key to open it with.If you're not sure what a barrel key looks like,look at a vending machine and the type of locks they use on them takes a barrel key to open.
I hope you're stuffing something other than US currency in your mattress.
US Currency is being devalued every day and will soon be completely worthless.
@Richard MIC: Great question! I MADE MONEY. How? Easy. I bought the stock when it dropped and sold some when it went up and will sell all when it reaches previous highs. I am no tea partyer, I am a dem... but I can understand that this is a complex world and I recognize JPM for what it is: an investment bank. that takes risks, so I wouldn't put my savings there.I'm also not going to proclaim that all financial entities should be safe and cautious. That's not good for the economy either. Just recognize that "not all banks are equal" and definitely DONT bail them out with taxpayer dollars.
Is the Republican House keeping Democrats from funding any of the regulations for Dodd-Frank?
Yes, they are Frank..
GOP Senators pushing to Delay & Defund the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
They are downright Machiavellian. How can they ever be stopped from plundering this country?
Half of America (nearly all of the South and midwest) seems to have been brainwashed. It's troubling, to say the least. I can't make sense of it.
American look around you. pull your head out of the sand.
I keep hearing more regulations will kill jobs. How many of you work on Wall St? Not regulating has killed construction jobs, Realtor jobs, mortgage company jobs and countless numbers of people went bankrupt and lost their homes. You people on the right better put away your hatred and start thinking about the welfare of the country before we end up like so many other nations under an Oligarchy. Exxon tells the presidents where they will drill and how deep, they essentially control our energy policy and much more. The banks are regulated too much? If that's the case why are they right back at doing what destroyed the economy? They dismantled the Dodd-Frank bill which I'm sure all of you would say is BS even though you don't have a clue what is in it. It is you, the right wing that is giving these conglomorates and their weasil politicians the power to do whatever they want. Taking over cities, changing voting requirments, stripping the elderly of medical care, killing unions, causing gas prices to skyrocket because of speculation (65% of the oil is controlled by speculators) you people are so gd damn ignorant it makes me want to puke.
muddy--I'm with you. It makes me so angry to think that there are middle class people who vote in republicans who are planning on the destruction of the middle class. Why would anyone vote to destroy themselves and the lives of their children.
A short look back at history will prove that this generation of republicans want to take this country back to the 19th century when there were a handful of extremely wealthy people who dominated everything and used a poor work force to deliver the riches to them.
If you can, look up the PBS documentary called "Manor House". It is a snapshot of how things were, not only here but in Britain. This is the life that these rich 1% want to go back to.
The rest of us have to stand up and say, HELL NO! EVERY republican has to go!
AMEN !!! It's a right wing conspiracy with the corporate and 1%er dollars 'dozing the way. The last round of governors were all paid off elections - the idea is start killing the Democracy on the state level and have only a limited federal presence. These traitors will attempt to privatize everything and purse the classes into one "working/starving" class. It is a Plutocratic not Democratic country they seek, and every vote for them, on any political level is a vote AGAINST our country and our freedom.
Nance wants all Republicans out? Taxes would skyrocket
Right and then there is reality unless you are making above $250k's a year your taxes have went up why because someone has to pay for the GOP tax cuts for the wealthy. Oh and because your taxes go up to pay for those tax cuts your chance of becoming a person who can use those tax cuts go down.
Well, we all know the "trickle down" economics thing is crap, in fact it's a middle and lower class killer, a proven fact. The other thing we know is that when the 1%ers play, we pay. We the people paid. We paid with the bailouts, we paid with our 401K's, we paid with our jobs, we continue to pay while our POTUS tries to make us great again. These Plutocrats want We The People to elect them and their failed practices to another swing at the bat. They want another shot with their treasonist ways to kill the country and our democracy. Romney and Ryan want more tax cuts for the rich - We just get cuts of, well, every social program and entitlement we hold dear. Thats the not the UNITED States of America - That's THEIR States of America.
SHOULD PRESIDENT OBAMA MAKE STRICTER BANKING REGS A CAMPAIGN ISSUE ?
WTF ??? ...do U mean 2 imply that a standing president who has LESS THAN 6 MONTHS till election nite, concern himself and his administration w/stricter regs of these BRAZEN BANKSTERS --- only as a talking point for campaigning for a SECOND term in office ?? --- and NOT ACTIVELY PUSHING as a matter of POLICY RIGHT NOW ??
A better question mite B : should the Obama administration B getting on the ball and play catch up after the past 3 1/2 years spent being "bi-partisan" w/the likes of John 'Boner,'instead of being the aggressive progressive a significant majority of the American voters AND the American people overall actually wanted AND NEEDED his administration 2 B ?? ... you know, like NOT soo easily caving on the nation's need for Universal Health Care and allowing us to continue on the negative, downward, unsustainable trajectory of unrestrained, profit-crazed, "free" market RETAIL "health" insurance policies.
Democrats and Independents that didn't vote in 2010 sealed the fate of this country by letting the tea party worm it's way into the house of reps.
I agree that the President tried to work with the repubs but we all know that they had NO intention of working with him. He gets it. But his hands have been tied by these power seeking republicans. They have forgotten that they work for us and they need to be FIRED NOW!
The Congress is due for a large enema and it's up to us to deliver it.
Well said Nancebelle
Nance is so ill-tempered. Maybe she needs the enema
No Steve, no one needs you.
Peersen
You can thank your GOP friends for it not being regulated at least a little. You can thank your GOP friends for deregulating it in the first place. You, as other righties blame Obama for issues he has NO control over.
WOW !! THIS IS AMAZING !!
I HAD ALREADY POSTED A RESPONSE TO BOTH NANCEBELLE (#51.1) and LARRY 74(#51.5) several hours ago, at @11:15 pm... right B 4 the newsvine advisory about site maintenance. I had typed it all out AND SAW it on screen AFTER pressing the "post comment" button-- and I even had printed out the pages of every ones posts from those minutes prior... EXCEPT THAT post #51.6 MAGICALLY WUZ NO WHERE among my hard-copies !!... THEN, when going back to check the 'puter screen at this site, THAT ONE POST WAS NOT THERE--- as if it never happened. creepy... and a little frustrating
alfred hitchcock or rod serling would have appreciated this !
Well, instead of trying 2 RECREATE frum memory all what I originally typed, I'll just simply agree w/Nancebelle that those repo party politicos and their D.I.N.O. buddies in Wash. D.C. R in REAL NEED of some theraputic colonics-- and I'd LUV 2 B the 1 2 give it 2 them.
As to Larry's notion about what side I'm on ... WHOA there buddy !!
Larry, if U look at some of my previous posts where I dump on some of the repo party minion who come 2 this platform, especially those who make simplistic hit and run, fact-free statements... or when I DEFEND OBAMA against these same repo party minion, U will realize I'm about as LIB as they come.
In fact, I'm as far "left" a Lib, a progressive as U will ever meet, partner.
I'm 1 of those no-nonsense Adam Green type progressives. It's a hallmark of TRUE Libs like us to defend a dem. politician when they deserve it, offer constructive criticism when they need it... and call them on the carpet when necessary... something U won't C typical repo party voters do when it comes 2 THEIR own repo party politicians.
Remember the book about Herding Donkeys ? THAT's whut U R misreading here. Trust me, the use of nuanced thinking is NOT whut many repos R skilled at, unless they R discussing SPORTS STATISTICS or something similarly unimportant.
It's ok, no apologies necessary.
Just try 2 B a little bit more careful B 4 U shoot. :>)
Let's not be like our adversaries / opponents / enemies. THEY R the ones who typically shoot first ... and ask a question or 2 LATER-- kinda like whut Dubya did HIS WHOLE TERM IN OFFICE.
peace (within reason) :>)
GOOD NITE ALL... keep the fires burnin' :>)
Resurrect Glass-Steagal. Then make sure people are following the rules. It's not so much a lack of rules we have so much as a lack of people actually having to follow them. We more police you might say not necessarily more laws.
We should reinstate the Glass-Steagal act. Regulations are important if we are going to protect taxpayers and workers with 401K's. No gambling with taxpayer money!
foxx news is whack! get um Rachael
Rachael, She is a pit bull and I think we should let that man go nameless. Fox and him are using people and they are so brained washed. He wants attention like Rush. I say do not give them time of day. Fox news is a reality show, fictitious .and so far from real news they might as well be on the moon.
Pam-- I am willing to bet one of Ann Romney's Cadillacs, that some misguided person will post a link on the blog tonight, after they have been Hannitiazed, about the nonsense that goes on over there.
FFFox! Rachel ROCKS! Hi Rachael I hope you slept well?
xxx--- Thanks xx-oo --Let's just say I had a short night, and a long day. I just kinda floated through the day. did you sleep well, after almost heart-a-tacking, last night? { No more bail outs, just to stay on subject tonight}. don't want to lose focus.LOl
Nice to know Racheal will never pass on her genes
She wears them until she throws them away!
Steve--we'll all her clones, she doesn't need too. She's one-of the best on T.V. we don't watch her for foolish biased., incorrect drama, we watch her to get to the real facts of politics. Her teachings are already seed in my kids, too late.-- soo-- too late
Unlike some who are inbred huh?
RACHAEL - I would rather take ANN ROMNEY's Cadillac to a wrecking yard and put it in the CRUSHER myself just to make sure that it's undrivable along with every other vehicle they own.
Ted--why destroy it? Maybe one day when Ann is tired of them, she will allow them to trickle down to help some one in need. You know how much they like to build--- up-- the trickle down effect.
Steve, just because she is Gay does not mean she may not ever give birth. Many gay people have their own Children. I have a gay step son and I can not believe anyone would ever make such a crass remark on and open forum. You seem to think your would forever be immune to gayness. There is no guarantee and it isn't in the genes as you so ignorantly suggest. To be a bigot you have to be carefully taught. You seem to have learned your lesson well.
RACHAEL - I wouldn't want anything that belonged to them even if I got it for free.I would rather see it turned into scrap metal and deported to China before I would take it.
Thankful--- does these people understand that they are talking about other human beings. who has the right to come in my house where i-n-i alone pay bills, and take care of my house-hold to tell me who and who not to love. as long as a person does not infringe on another persons rights, why does these guys think they have the right to run every-ones house like they run their own. Who died and left them in charge?
Oh good lord TM you mentioned that Rachael has lady parts now that poor tea bagger is going to have nightmares about vaginas, not that he has seen any outside of the porn sites he visits. You ruined his fantasy that Rachael had a penis for him.
I almost said something I'd be sorry for, and it would have gotten you in trouble because you would not have left it alone. I'll leave it to your imagination. But please don't go there. We had a couple of really crude so called "hollyer-than -thou" on here the other night that were real perverts. Besides we are suppose to be talking about bail outs tonight, and we are off topic.
Well of course they were TM they are not called the Greed Old Pervert party because they are nice upstanding moral people you know. They are the greedy perverted scum of the earth who want it all for themselves.
Most definitely. Make Romney defend his no more regulations or make him specify the "smart regulations" that his spokes liars say he really means.
Make him prove with facts and figures his lie about Obama making the economy worse than Bush left it. That would really be fun to watch. I wonder if his dancing around that issue would be as hilarious as his singing.
Make no mistake, Romney is the most amoral scumbag the repubs have to offer. He's as clueless as Rushbaugh and stupid as O'Rannity.
Ok guys heads up we got a new newbie claiming he is a stock market wiz and the stock market is better then money in the bank. Gee how surprising.
I was under the impression Frank Dodd already passed and that it was going to fix every thing, did they get it wrong again? Obama himself said "That is way we passed reform". The government has no place in either personal or corporate business. If an individual can't pay their mortgage they should get foreclosed and if a company makes a bad decision they should suffer the consequences.
It did. Boehner and Company won't fund it. It takes people to enforce any law.
Right.
This is a lovely sight.

I would love to see stricter regulations on all banks but it won't happen now or in the future because the GOP won't let it happen. If there would be even the slightest regulations on banks it wouldn't mean a thing, for the regulators have no idea what they are suppose to me looking for that's just the way it is now days, letem go under and we the public will bail t them out again and again, rather sickening isn't it??
NO WAY !!!! I would rather see them go BUST before we bail them out again.
Ted, I felt we rewarded them for very deceitful and bad behavior. There for they continued till they got caught. I agree they need to be knocked off there ivory pedestals and have a very big dose of reality.
PAM - I'll be polite to you but I would like to take their IVORY PEDESTALS and shove it right up their F****ING @$$ where it should be to begin with.
Lori, Kind of like Chrysler how many times will they get bailed out, two on the books already. I say let them go under.
On the subject of BRAZEN BANKSTERS :
that sound bite of JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, where he's detailing all those nice sounding should have, could have, would have by his outfit and/or the federal regulators, which R basically neutered by lobbying efforts by the likes of power elite like him, RINGS SOOO BOGUS !!
His promises of whut should or will B done after the fact, sound as DISINGENUOUS as the LIP SERVICE by BP OIL prior to, DURING and AFTER the 2010 BP Gulf oil explosion disaster !! ... not to mention the make-believe emergency / disaster plans filed by BP (AND OTHER OIL COMPANIES) w/federal authorities !!!
Does Dimon think 4 1 moment that he can actually pull the wool over peoples' eyes... at least, those who don't have the left side of their brains tourniqueted behind their backside ?
REMEMBER, it's the "LEFT" SIDE of the brain that is involved with speech AND THINKING !! ... while the "right" side is about "muscle" control !! hee hee hee ...makes sense, that the repos R about beating up, bullying, shooting-- basically being the "muscle," the Tony Sopranos of this wurld. hmmm :>)
Hey Dimond, go sell yor lies and lip service on the crazy-like-a-FAUX TV network !!
We're all stocked up on insincere and stupid here --- Mitt, Newt, Michele, Thoughtful Conservative and all the rest beat U 2 it. sorry charlie.
lucky 4 U someone like me or Adam Green isn't in the Oval Office ... or you'd B doing a Jackie Gleason like "ha-am ah nah, ha-am ah nah, HA-AM AH NAH .." instead.
Picture this. Romney is, by some strange fluke, elected prez. Not only do we have to suffer his stupitiy for 4 years, we have to listen to that dry un-intersting patter ......puke.
THANKFUL MOM - How dare you think of such a NIGHTMARE.Am I glad I don't live on ELM street.Unfortunately, or should I say luckily, I live at least 2 1/2 miles from there (yikes).
xxx---shared a great link last week, on the keys to natural love. when something comes about as a natural source, there's nothing about it that needs the help of man-nor-woman to survive. Love is Natural, just as natural as the rain, sun, moon, wind, sand, and yes humans. to stand in the way of either, can be your demise. So get out of the way of love, and let it flow in a natural way, as it was designed to do.
That is a lovely thought.
Rachael that's nice! Much like beer let it flow in and out! Watch out for the return of the beak and talons!!!!
MD/MI for president support his #30 packs!
And he loves beer too!
did you have to compare my ahh-haa moment to beer flowing in and out? why not go with something that would just make the ahh-haa moment burst with life. maybe like a stream being soaked up by the rays of sun, or the clouds gliding down o taste the freshness of rain,---not the life and death cycle of beer------O.K. got it.
xxx---this bud is for you---read post above.
