Mustang is right - the American people spoke loudly, but the politicians aren't listening. Even President Bush isn't listening and neither is McCain. Pelosi probably laughs herself to sleep every night!<BR/><BR/>We now have our Government running the banking system in this country and socialism has begun. If Obama is elected we are going to see a lot more of it.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540710405153666843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446897466778143968.post-14283472923878067322008-10-01T19:26:00.000-05:002008-10-01T19:26:00.000-05:00Inspire, I can relate to your complete lack of tr...Inspire, I can relate to your complete lack of trust for any elected official. Who can you believe?? At every level lies are being told, or so many miss-statements that a person does not know what is the truth and what isn't. On one post one reads OB was sueing banks for not following through on subprime loans. Now he is saying pay it off or yea on the bailout....We don't know where to turn follow out with AI and see what he has to say about this crisis..my advise...stay above the fray.....and ask the man who knows he knows the outcome already....stay well......Taplinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161842191574184492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446897466778143968.post-2920330600783020142008-10-01T14:55:00.000-05:002008-10-01T14:55:00.000-05:00tapline: All this is about to eat my sack lunch!

What bothers me (and, I'm told..."It's just politics") is the blaming, the finger pointing, the back stabbing, and the lying that is going on. One day last week, all I heard on any T.V. news was that it was the fault of President Bush and his administration...just like it's been his fault for everything else.(hence my spoof post on the faults of the president) If this is true, why do we have a Cabinet and a Congress? "I just don't get it". I've yet a great deal to learn about politics!!<BR/><BR/>It's not my nature to be so negative and distrustful, but I don't feel like we can trust ANYONE!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10340572418529728537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446897466778143968.post-54412804317368888302008-09-30T22:59:00.000-05:002008-09-30T22:59:00.000-05:00Crabby, Thanks for stopping by....You and me both...Crabby, Thanks for stopping by....You and me both...I do recommend a visit to AI though, He as a good historical document on the cause of this crisis which is not being voiced completely by anyone that I know of....stay well.Taplinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00161842191574184492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446897466778143968.post-1296788835833941462008-09-30T20:52:00.001-05:002008-09-30T20:52:00.001-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.crabby old manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14397321763448801871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446897466778143968.post-34454822230087025482008-09-30T20:52:00.000-05:002008-09-30T20:52:00.000-05:00I'm not smart enough to understand what the ra...I'm not smart enough to understand what the ramifications of the passing or defeat of the bailout, but we do need a change with the change being less government.

Four hundred economists (including three Nobel Laureates) urged Congress to slow down, hold hearings, and provide a real (as opposed to a knee jerk) solution.<BR/><BR/>What we got is the knee jerk. The American people spoke loudly, and both Congress and the White House claim that "we don't understand." Well ... there is always another possibility: we do understand.<BR/><BR/>My non-medical/psychiatric opinion is that Pelosi is a pathological liar. Yesterday I posted two YouTube videos which chronicle what actually happened to bring us to the verge of financial market collapse; the record clearly shows that Democrats led us to this point in time through racial politics. There has been a continuation of the liberal saw creating dependency among minorities where none should exist (enslavement, is yet another word), and keeping these people in that position because is benefits … um ... Democrats.<BR/><BR/>I sent an email to Bill O’Reilly last night – who informed his audience that this issue was much larger than petty ideological differences. Of course, he never (ever) reads my no bloviating messages (I’m beginning to think he discriminates against old white guys) … but here is what I said. “You are wrong. There is nothing more important than this ideological principle. If an armed force attacked the USA, our choices would be to fight and possibly die, or surrender. Surrender is not an option, and that is equally true about the notion of giving up American capitalism to the dictates of Democratic Marxists. And if we give up Americana, we will never get it back.”<BR/><BR/>Obviously, I disagree with McCain/Obama on this issue. I need to ask (albeit, rhetorically), should we not seize upon this unsatisfactory situation as an important lesson to slothful Americans, who drive themselves into the poor house through credit card debt, luxury autos, and houses they cannot afford? Personally, I believe the press and the government is “spinning” the deal. I think this because I just looked outside and guess what? The sky isn’t falling. If we allow government to “fix this problem” with OUR money, will the irresponsible citizens among us learn anything at all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446897466778143968.post-14303889574049342362008-09-30T08:12:00.000-05:002008-09-30T08:12:00.000-05:00I didn't qualify for those easy mortgages--didn't ...I didn't qualify for those easy mortgages--didn't have the right profile...Trader Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079028073096259737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446897466778143968.post-78063247301669351062008-09-30T01:38:00.000-05:002008-09-30T01:38:00.000-05:00Many questions indeed Tapline...It is hoped that a...Many questions indeed Tapline...It is hoped that all the discussions in Washington will lead to real reform not just a bailout for the sake of short term remedies...
