On the Veep Office:

Executive branch. Period. Palin can bullshit or not, it's still executive branch.

On the bailout:

Stupid is as stupid does.

so the collapse is the great october surprise! bush and his friends make things so risky that we have to bail out the people who will lay off thousands, if not millions of soon-to-be former middle-class americans as part of the required austerity measures imposed by the loans. Your entire financial system will now be in foreign hands or worse, the greedy, inept hands of those who precipitated this problem in the first place. You will bear the brunt of the greed of others as others have born the brunt of your own relentless greed and self-righteousness.

Say "Goodbye" to your middle class, America. The dream of Prescott Bush and Henry Ford is coming to fruition through the reign of the dim, but ambitious grandson, Bush the Lesser. Who thought someone that dumb could do that much damage?

Say "Goodbye" to your empire, you over-privileged, hateful americans. Your indignant and undignified hatred of the others on this planet and the other citizens of your own country has placed your country right in the hands of those you ridiculed, those you despised .

You let the media fuel your bigotry and hatreds, of people of color, of people of other nations, of people who don't speak english, both without and within your borders. You accepted any lie that would allow you to vent your anger on another, helpless country, IRAQ, even as you knew that they had nothing to do with 9/11. You let the media help you justify that your thirst for oil was still sufficient reason to ignore the deaths of over a million people and the destruction of the birthplace of civilization.

In the Bible it says: "As you sow, so shall you reap". Amazingly, as the Bible is used in this country, the Jew-hating Christians would have killed Christ for advocating Love, Charity and Peace.

Saddest of all is that this calamity has already led to finger-pointing. Ignorant America will NEVER learn.

Call me crazy but think about this scenario...

1. American racism wins and McCain wins
2. McCain has cancer, hence his secret medical records, and announces his resignation and crawls off to die in Arizona.
3. Palin is now President. Palin, a pentecostal flat earth war mamma who could never get into office on her own, is now the most powerful nuclear power in the world.
4. She starts a war with Russia and Iran and we get nuked. Because that's how the Rapture starts.
5. China, Russia, India, Pakistan and Europe nuke the fuck out of each other.
6. One million years later an intelligent race of cockroaches starts experimenting with nuclear fission....

Bush is asking for 700 billion for the bailout swindle.

The CBO pegs the cost of the 'war' thus far at 556 billion. Joseph Stiglitz previously has projected ultimately 3 trillion.

The two greatest swindles in the history of the world.

Knowing which is the greater of the two will take some considerable time.

Yes and where is that mooney... money going to come from? We don't have it. If there was ever a time to buy gold and silver, fill the pantry and keep that way it would be now. They are diluting the dollar like never before, this will cause massive hyperinflation and it can't be sustained.

In only a matter of days we have expanded our national debt by a trillion dollars, we have just jumped to over 10 trillion dollars.

We have 50 trillion in the pipe in entitlements, all of the baby boomers retirement is locked up in that lead brick the stock market and they must start taking payment by law in 2016. What happens when there are more sellers than buyers. The government is out of ammo folks, their is nothing left in their bag of tricks after this. All they have done is bought time, prolonged the inevitable and ensured the next crash will be worse.

You know, that's just crazy enough to be likely, certainly plausible, if not inevitable.

Just think "Argentina" - like it was back in the 70's: privatization of nationalized assets, hyperinflation, and the "dissapearance" of millions of citizens.

Dont' cry for me.....

Murkin racism's gonna triumph in conditions whereby it SEEMS to have been dispelled.

Murkins, especially the elites, have long chafed under the international opprobrium of USer endemic, systemic racism.

Nominating Obama relieves 'em of the taint. "Murka's not racist anymore. How could a 'racist' country nominate a black guy to lead one of the two major parties and compete for the Presidency?' they'll ask, disingenuously.

The McC(umst)ain campaign consists solely in creating and providing (deniably plausible) reasons why white voters should either NOT vote for Obama or just stay home.

If that doesn't work, there's stealing the election itself, as they've done successfully at LEAST the last two times there's been a national election. there's no reason to believe they'd abandon a successful strategy now.

Or the McBusheviks could lead the country into a war do distract from and try to partially ameliorate--through more war-based consumption--the huge costs of bailing out the rich/elites.

No, 200 million years later is when Pangaea Ultima's going to appear. Sapient life is not well-adapted to emerge in such conditions, too many selective factors against it. I think roughly 100 million to 65 million years might see our successors as intelligent species come along, you've still got the diversity and split areas where intelligent species can evolve in more isolation.

Our ancestors the bipedal apes required a great deal of isolation to survive for a long time. It will be no different for any other species wishing to get the degree of wankitude the whole human race did.

There's nothing to disagree on (regarding her qualifications). Whatever Obama has against him, Palin has more so. Between the two, I'd rather the man with the experienced Veep than the man with the Whitewashed tomb Veep.

Not just Commies, indigenous Argentines, too.

Bush is asking for 700 billion for the bailout according to CBS. ISN'T THAT A BITCH? And he is acting as he is rescuing America. What an asshole! And some of his groupies are buying it! These asshole reminds me of that movie Klue, I think that's the name, with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. They swindled everybody. 8 years of plundering, and Americans still in the darks. Well! Bush has been worried about his legacy. He got it!

True capitalism isn't the problem, this was economic socialism, the cards were always stacked to big players. As I stated above in previous post JPMorgan Chase owns the FED. The FED is a private company and it's balance sheet is always zero, it's not reserve. Some 300 of the nations wealthiest have quietly run this country pulling the presidents puppet strings.

That's why it never really mattered who got in office, all the BS about taxes or no taxes, They tax law is always written in favor of the rich, they are the ones who write it regardless of who is president.

yeah!

where all the countries are some form of socialist, communist, socialist-democrat or truly parliamentary.

Where 'american capitalism' meets socialized medicine, educational systems don't teach 'intelligent design' and 'the right kind of christianity' is not a pre-requisite for running for president, prime minister or whatever.

where populations are not enamored of their 'god-given' right to slay all in their path to global hegemony.

McCain campaign terrified to send a spokesperson on the Rachel Maddow show. Rachel would eat them alive. She is so brililant and responds above the belt with her sharp intellect and facts.

Would give McPalin money to go on the Rachel Maddow show.

Conyers Demands 'Immediate Halt to Republican Vote Suppression Efforts'
U.S. House Judiciary Chair Announces Hearings, Requests 'Full Scale Investigation' by DoJ Into Recent Reports of GOP 'Vote Caging' Schemes...

The chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, Rep. John Conyers, is calling on the John McCain campaign to "immediately halt Republican vote suppression efforts," as seen recently in Michigan --- where a county GOP chair announced his intention to use home foreclosure lists to challenge voter eligibility at the polls on Election Day --- and elsewhere.

Exclusive: Dept. Of Veterans Affairs Continues To Violate Law, Block Voter Registration Drives for Wounded Warriors
Despite VA Claim of Changed Policy, Vet Group Forced to File 'Emergency Motion' as Barriers Erected to Keep Non-Profit Group From Registering Vets at San Francisco Facility...

Blogged By John Gideon, VotersUnite.Org

Despite last week's agreement by the Dept. of Veteran Affairs to follow federal law --- after months of pressure from vet groups, members of Congress, and the public --- and relent to allow voter registration drives on the department's federal facilities, The BRAD BLOG has learned that the department is continuing to block non-partisan groups access to our wounded warriors in order to sign up voters. With most voter registration deadlines for the general election just one month away, the continuing stonewall, in this case by the San Francisco VA, continues to outrage.

The non-partisan Veterans for Peace organization has now been forced to file an emergency motion with the court in order to gain access. They contacted us this morning with the following statement...

If the injuries McCain sustained in Vietnam prevent him from operating a keyboard how come he is able to keep the fingers on both hands crossed behind his back?

In regard to bailout---How much of the taxpayers money is going into the pockets of the CEO's who failed miserably?
How come the taxpayers will be picking up the tab for the insurance company who "only had 2 Billion dollars in reserve and they needed 4 Billion dollars for Hurricane Ike"?
We own a small business and the IRS sends us frequent notices that we need to pay more (I'm sure it is so they can waste more). When is it going to stop?
