Investment bankers and Wall Street traders like Rick Santilli ranting about homeowners get a bailout is the joke of the century!

What Bush foreclosure plan? All those idiots did was bail out the big banks and financial institutions. The effect was to actually help the banks hold out longer against the homeowners. They created the biggest government and the most spending of any administration in history - hardly in line with republican doctrine. The Bush administration ran America into the ground.

The funny thing is that the people organizing the "tea party" are the same ones that had TOO MUCH representation under Reagan, Bush, CLinton, Bush.

This was the "K" street representation of one dollar-one vote, as upheld bythe Supreme Court since Reagan. [Limits on contributions found unconstitutional].

The crying is because they have lost their unfair advantage....for now. Now it's closer to one-man: one-vote.

They pretend that there wasn't an election in November....but there was and these jerks (e.g. Santelli) lost.

Yeah, we've already had the "Pee Party" when the Repigs p*ssed down our backs and told us it was raining.

Drink up, Repigs!

What will Obama do when half of America refuses to pay taxes

When YOU refuse to pay YOUR taxes, you'll end up in jail.

It's as simple as that!

It's no wonder a majority of Americans trust Democrats with fixing the economy.

WASHINGTON - After Barack Obama's first six weeks as president, the American public's attitudes about the two political parties couldn't be more different, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds.

Despite the country's struggling economy and vocal opposition to some of his policies, President Obama's favorability rating is at an all-time high. Two-thirds feel hopeful about his leadership and six in 10 approve of the job he's doing in the White House.

"What is amazing here is how much political capital Obama has spent in the first six weeks," said Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff. "And against that, he stands at the end of this six weeks with as much or more capital in the bank."

By comparison, the Republican Party ? which resisted Obama's recently passed stimulus plan and has criticized the spending in his budget ? finds its favorability at an all-time low. It also receives most of the blame for the current partisanship in Washington and trails the Democrats by nearly 30 percentage points on the question of which party could best lead the nation out of recession.

Uh-huh. Now who's laughing?

LOL!

Follow the money, people. These "tea parties" are corporate-funded propaganda vehicles.

Hmmm, Lets see-the Republicons want to bail out Wall street, big banks, give MORE tax breaks to Big Oil; but helping ANY home owner is called welfare. It's no wonder a majority of Americans trust Democrats with fixing the economy.

Osama Bin Laden must be rolling over in his cave. We have done to ourselves what he wanted but could not do to us. Ruin us financially. The whole world no less. Try convincing him there is no Allah now.
