Who brought an AK-47?

On vacation one day and having withdrawal from the cameras. Hey let's re-nominate Bernanke so I can get my face on T.V. and show the American people that I am working on vacation.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:40 AM) come on... that's like saying, no one has disproved that the reason we haven't been attacked since 9-11 is because I bought a glass horse statue in Venice so it must be true. ......or proving that jobs have been saved?

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Aug 22, 2009 -> 06:08 PM) proof that the number isnt 45 million?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 07:59 AM) Fixed for ya. Well we are talking MA. here, so Dem would be correct. Why does anyone find this surprising? And the mouthpiece at the Times, laughable.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=new...id=aV3dLt6wmZH4 I'm sure they'll tell us we are misinterpreting this story. Ax-man is an honest guy. Its always different with this admin.

Libor spreads have returned to normal (we are guaranteeing this market). Swap spreads have returned to normal (we are guaranteeing this market). Housing starts and prices have stabilized (the U.S gov't. is providing 15% tax credits, effectively paying the down payment for first time home buyers). Car sales are seeing signs of life (the U.S. gov't. is providing cash for clunkers). The U.S economy has stabilized because the U.S gov't. has effectively become almost half of the U.S economy. But stimulus has been shown to have a zero multiplier: stimulus comes from either borrowing or transferring wealth from taxpayers, so every dollar eventually is taken back. Tax increases tend to have a minus 3 multiplier: tax increases eventually reduce growth by three times the increase. Green shoots will whither away very quickly as the U.S. gov't has effectively become a very large part of the economy. That is temporary. Without the ability to generate more credit, growth will turn negative.

WTF?

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 07:55 PM) just a curious question... can't the town hall organizers insist that the only ones allowed in, are those who actually live in the District? That would keep 90% of those disrupting things, out. Just show proof of residence in the District.. electric bill, ID, voter registration ID, etc. Yeah right, no ID to vote, but show an ID to enter a townhall? LMAO :lol: :lol: :lol:

Union thugs can assault a black anti-Obama healthcare protester, do not know if he is an ®, and not a word of it in MSM. Somehow, if it were a black Dem. anti-NRA protester assaluted by an NRA member, it would be all over with Sharpton and Jackson plastered on the boob tube.

Until you do I won't believe. Sorry. Btw. If the republican community organizers are mobs, and the dems grassroots are community organizers, does that make the man YOU guys voted for a MOBSTER?

Lower rates, points shaved off their mortgages......nothing financial in those two things...GMAFB...You have to have ethics to violate ethics... Hopefully Dodd will have plenty of time to take care of his prostate after the next election. His dad was crooked and so is he.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 03:04 PM) You guys are full of s*** if you think this is all caused ONLY by Democratic allies, unless you've been to every one of these town halls in their entirety. Show me a link or some video footage of a Republican group doing the same as the union assholes and I will believe you.Oh...I forgot, Obama and his goons are never wrong are they? Prove that WE ARE FULL OF s***. I think the Obama and his apologists are the ones ......

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 09:09 AM) Its the same thing they do on the picket lines to discourage companies from hiring non-union labor. Oh absolutely, and the gov't. is complicit with their actions, because they are never arrest anyone for intimidation on picket lines.

Over the past week we've seen videos of townhall meetings. And we've seen some loud opposition to the Dems plan currently put forth. But, I do not recall any violence occurring at ANY of those meetings UNTIL the GOONS fron the SEIU were summoned by the Dems. The first altercation occurred in Florida, and the second one occurred in St. Louis. Both involved SEIU. In the St. Louis meeting, Carnahan actually said the plan would result in a 6 billion dollar surplus for the gov't.

I Heard he was planning a hiking trip with Palin .

So last Wednesday the Treasury 5 yr note auction sucked some wind; but the next day teh 7 yera note auction was off surprisingly well. So well that the bidders ripped prices 5bps through where the when issued was trading just before the results were released. Why you ask??? Banana Ben and his men PURCHASED 16.97% of the auction. So the real bid/cover was much lower than reported. PPT to the rescue again. And I thought this only went on with the previous administration. Next week we have 5's, 10's, and 30's being auctioned on Tue., Wed., on Fri. respectively.

BRIAN WILLIAMS: We are back now with the case of the cold, hard cash, money that was famously found in the freezer at the home of William Jefferson, now a former Congressman from Louisiana. Tonight, there is a verdict in his criminal trial. Our Justice correspondent Pete Williams at federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, tonight. Pete, good evening. PETE WILLIAMS: Brian, this verdict comes four years after the FBI watched Congressman Jefferson outside a Washington hotel accept a briefcase stuffed with $100,000 in cash. The jury found him guilty of planning to use that money to bribe officials in Africa who are willing to help U.S. companies in which Jefferson’s family had an interest. $90,000 of that money was found in his kitchen in his freezer wrapped in foil packets and hidden in frozen food containers. The jury also found him guilty today of taking bribes from other companies to help them do business in Africa He could face a long prison term. He’ll be sentenced in October, Brian. Jefferson must be a Dem because no party was mentioned. I know he is a Dem, just noting the balanced media's take on the subject. National Barack Channel comes through again.

Here's a very intelligent well thought out statement. No loonies on the left. http://radioequalizer.blogspot.com/2009/08...glenn-beck.html

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 01:48 PM) Can someone provide me a link to a place where I can find a somewhat brief and unbiased description of the current healthcare reform plan being sent forward? I dot have the time or energy to read thousands of pages. Are you a member of Congress?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 4, 2009 -> 09:17 AM) We did not have serious congressional representatives advancing the conspiracy theories of 9/11 or JFK, etc. How many Republicans have winked a "no comment" when confronted in order to keep from dissuading the minions, or worse introduced legislation in the spirit of the birther movement? http://www.911truth.org/osamas/mckinney.html#interview In fact, Mrs. Clinton was the first high-profile Democrat to shatter the bipartisan unity that swept the nation after the 9/11 attacks. On May 16, 2002, she took to the Senate floor waving a copy - ironically - of that day's New York Post, with its front-page headline "Bush Knew," a story about the then just-discovered pre-9/11 presidential daily briefing warning of coming terrorist attacks. "I am simply here today on the floor of this hallowed chamber to seek answers to the questions being asked by my constituents," Hillary explained. "Questions raised by one of our newspapers in New York with the headline 'Bush Knew.' "The president knew what? My constituents would like to know the answer to that and many other questions. ... As for the president, he may not be in a position at this time to respond to all of those concerns, but he is in a position to answer some of them, including the question of why we know today, May 16, about the warning he received. Why did we not know this on April 16 or March 16 or February or January 16 or August 16 of last year?" http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/200...31/130028.shtml Maybe the first two are not "serious congressmen/women" as you put it, but the current Secretary of State.
