I suppose I'm an elitist by saying, yes, that most people are far more stupid about this than me. I listened to both days of hearings last week and easily determined that most of the people asking questions (our Congress), who had been recently briefed, were completely oblivious. I've run across few people outside the financial sector that understand what's actually happening. It honestly frightens me.
Far more than a nuclear Iran. |

Been listening to too many Rush Limbaugh-types stoking the racial fires?
You don't really expect all of us to believe anything other, did you? Seriously, when, before this election, had you last heard "Boy" as a pejorative.
Maybe it's a redneck Texas thing. |

| What really s me about all this is that congress is now taking a day off from resolving all this to observe the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. The share-market's in freefall, people are in danger of losing their homes, economic stability the entire world around is being threatened, but those in power can't do anything to resolve it because of some arbitrary injunction set out by some backwards, pastoral tribe about 2,700 years ago? Are you ing serious? |

Who cares? This economic crisis isn't significant enough to warrant an all-out warning.
Or, at least you wouldn't know if from the inaction of our spineless Congressmen.
This is a matter of urgency that must happen now. It should have been finished by the weekend last week. Instead, all of Congress gave each other the usual handjobs, and we wasted time as two of our biggest banks collapsed. And it still failed today. And everyone is elated.
....this isn't Iraq. There isn't fictitious knowledge of WMDs. The financial attack has happened already. The credit pipeline is frozen.
BTW, part of me is elated. I might actually be able to afford a Manhattan condo as soon as the price declines really set in here and the US recesses to 1980s pricing. The negative part includes mounting a gun to my bed to protect it. |

Well, Eric Cantor, John Boehner, and Roy Blunt for starters.
Pelosi's speech was terribly ill-advised... but for the Republican leadership to throw their temper tantrum by not voting for this package... they blatantly put Party before country. |

to not vote for the sandwich that their constituents begged them not to vote for? i know you'd like it to be but no, it's not that easy.
there is room for improvement on this bill and apparently 90+ Democrats tend to agree...and evidently you tend to ignore. |

Well if that was the reason that they decided not to vote for it - you know I'm actually okay with that. As stated previously, 95 Dems. said the exact same thing, so obviously something was wrong with this bill.
But for them to come out and use that pansy-ass excuse that they got their feelings hurt by Pelosi's statement is beyond stupid. They actually used this as a primary rationale, and that's what we're complaining about. We all know it's bull, just as they do, so why not just come out and say what they felt was wrong with the bill itself rather than cry about what Pelosi said? |
