The elected officials dont care about the little people anyway. All they care about is how much money they can make, and how many people they have to kiss butt for to get more money....

I agree with get rid of Congress, all of states have a government office to run them...The elected officials dont care about the little people anyway. All they care about is how much money they can make, and how many people they have to kiss butt for to get more money....

@IOWEIGN-

Both the left and the right, Dems and Reps supported NAFTA. In truth, it was Bush the First who began the process.

We are already polarized, a house divided as it were. Do we really need to drive the wedge any deeper?

Neither paty is working FOR the people. They are bought and owned by special interests.

The red vs. blue game is old and stale and... dang it, really tastes bad right now. $700 billion in US dollars bad as a matter of fact... billions that both presidential candidates voted for. Billions that both parties demanded on spending against OUR wishes.

Get wise...

Bill Clinton got NAFTA signed, which in turned shipped our jobs overseas and to Mexico. The top worst cities in the US have been governed by Demorcrats over the last 40 years. The Senate and House went to Demorcratic rule 2 years ago and look what shape the country is in. And all you people blame BUSH! If OBama is elected president, hang onto your wallets!

I have been trying to hang on to my wallet since 2001 when Boosh was elected and he got his "tax cuts" for the upper crust...

Remember, it is Congress that makes the laws and spends our money -not the President.

He has to work with what''''s handed to him

Remember that it is the President that vetoes bills and creates the Federal Budget...

[Redoubt]

here''s a bet for anyone brave enough to take it...

The wager is that the US Government will NOT come to the aid of the People, in the way it bailed out the Wall Street bankers.

Here''s betting that millions of Americans will see their electricity disconnected, cars reposessed, jobs lost and families go hungry before Congress votes a single dollar directly to them.

Care to take that up? You can reach me at: [e-mail]

best of luck.

bush is a fool ... and he deserves much of the credit/blame.

so ... where have all the republicans gone since 2006 ... the congress is 100% democrat? do you have any idea how the legislative process works ... or are you just repeating what you were told to say/think?

[President Bush says the move to partially nationalize large U.S. banks, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo, is necessary to "preserve" the free market. ]

this is interesting logic ... to ''preserve'' the free market ... the govt needs to take them over.

well ... since all these banks are part of the fed govt now ... lets modify some of the ridiculous late fee, credit limit, and ''credit to anyone'' policies these banks use.

As a conservative republican and Bush loyalist, I am completely against bailing out the general public. Who do they think they are, corporations?
