Sherri - lol Wow...candy apple red! Sweet! lol lol lol The '66 even had a convertible available. Nose to nose?...not sick at all - rather cute I'd say! lol

Rosemary - :"illegal aliens getting money too" AND "money being spent that won't be felt by the economy till 4-5 years out"

I must get off of the computer and take my blood pressure...Help Me...AGAIN! 911 is only a phone call away!

Steele stole it: WoooooooooooooooooooooooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Laura,

I know it's extremely hard to keep a news station on when they're talking about the "Plan".  We'll need to take elixirs of some kind for all types of ailments while they spend, spend, spend.

My first car was a '52 pontiac tank of some kind, dark ugly green with bad tires.  I bought it for $50 in 1964.  I wish I kept it.  Any of these cars today would bounce off of that car if it was hit.

Did you hear that Obama has offered a republican senator the Secretary of Commerce job?  I think it was Secretary of Commerce. The senator said he's in the "mix."  If he's offered the job I hope he turns it down OR the republicans will lose their filibuster.  I think this is a political move on Obama's part.  Call me cynical!

Is this a private section or can anyone ask a question????? 

Just checking in case I have a question about Republican stuff. I think I intruded on a section somewhere else, so I wouldn't want to break in now and then wiht my question. I seem to have caught political fever since I returned to work.

No questions now, just that one ....

Just jumping in to say I've called my congressman (Dem) yesterday and wrote my 2 senators (both Dem) today.   I just can't sit idly by and listen to all of this.  I know it probably won't do any good since they're all Democrats but somehow it makes me feel better - like I'm doing something!!

Go gals, go!!!

Pat

Hi Pat,

Yes, it is doing something.  My writing my repub Senators and congressman doesn't do much.  They already know we're behind them in this fight to get package "real".  The dems really need to hear from us.

Hi Jader it's nice to see new people here. 

Cripe...I was so busy taking my blood pressure... I missed G Beck! Darn... do they re-run it at a different time?

Jader - NO THREAD is PRIVATE... this is a public forum/web site... any question is welcomed  (basedm, of course, that it adheres to the rules of this site). Ya know what they say... no such thing as a dumb question. So - if you have a question - post it... but be prepared. Everyone DOESN'T have the SAME opinion...THANK GOODNESS - diversity is awesome... smile!

Cripe - Oprah can be re-runned but not G Beck... hey what's that all about?

lol lol lol Too Frickin Funny - dh just arrived from work...he is officially responsible for my vital signs... lol

This channel is going to do a story on Alaska Deb tonight.  I was just reading the other thread where I think Gina told everyone Deb's last moments.  It's so heart rendering, but at the same time wonderful to know she's free of this miserable disease.

It looks like a number of influential Senate Democrats in the Finance Comittee have issues with the "stimilus" package. So there is hope for us, 

I forgot the name of the Democrat Senator they had on CNBC today, but he said that he talked to a number of Democrats who were very concerned about the proposal. I am also starting to see mainstream media showing some kind of restrained critisim of Obama's plan.

I just heard that Daschle , Obama's Health Secretary nominee,  had to pay $100K in back taxes. Is that what Obama meant by change ? On the other hand it's one way of Treasure getting more money: all these Obama's nominee's paying up

"  

Obama has asked the joint chiefs of staff to cut the defense budget by over 10%.   So no problem wasting hundred of millions on fish barriers and bee insurance, but at a time of 2 wars and a worldwide threat, cut the funding out from under the troops.

Shirley,

 I think we NEED Obama to get us back in shape. He is like a bitter medicine that one must take in order to get better. Already we are seeing House Republicans developing a spine and voting unanimously against the bill. Republican party is getting tough and hopefully with Steele's at the helm, they will be less likely to "reach across the aisle". People need to see how bad it can get when the true liberals get the power so that they will be cured of their desire for that elusive Wohooooooo "hope and change" with no substance. I got to confess I myself was somewhat more accepting and hopeful right after elections. Well I got over it and I hope every day more and more Americans are waking up to this. 

Okie dokie, here's my rant again. 

We were asked earlier by a poster what happened.  Here's some interesting videos that the MSM never reported on.  All of this sub-prime mess was blamed on Bush and the Republicans.  Uh-uh...NOT SO!  Out of the mouths of dems.   Very interesting video.   

YouTube - EVIDENCE FOUND!!! Clinton administration's "BANK AFFIRMATIVE ACTION" They forced banks to make BAD LOANS and ACORN ..

Democrats in their own words Covering up the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Scam that caused our Economic Crisis.

At a 2004 hearing see Democrat after Democrat covering up and attacking the regulations to protect Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (their Cash Cows) that are now destroying our economy because the Democrats let them cheat.  

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

YouTube - Timeline shows Bush, McCain warning Dems of financial mess  

Bush warned in 2001.   Barney Franks here in 2003 says Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not in a a crises. He said that the federal government should be encouraging Freddie and Fannie to do more to get low income families into home and he believe that to many people had a "sky is falling" mentality.      

Greenspan warns "....Enabling these institutions to increase in size - and they will once in the crisis in their judgment passes - we are placing the total financial system of the future at a substantial risk."   And Greenspan says at a later time. "If we fail to strengthen GSE regulation we increase the possibility of insolvency in crisis."  

Want another quote that's on this video?  Well you're getting it anyway.  

Senator Charles Schumer:  "...I think Freddie and Fannie over the years have done an incredibly good job and are an intrinsic part of making America the best-housed people in the world.....If you look over the last 20 or whatever years, they've done a very, very good job."   Want another quote?  Well you're getting it anyway.   John McCain in 2006:  "For years I've been concerned about the regulatory structure that governs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac....and the sheer magnitude of these companies and the role they play in the housing market -- the GSE's need to be reformed WITHOUT DELAY.

And for your entertainment.  Does Barney need some teeth?
