1. Anybody remember The Keating FIve?
Anybody think that maybe McCain got off easy cuz somebody helped him out of a tight spot? Anybody think somebody called in the marker or threatened to toss a skeleton outta the closet?

2. Yes, I do remember the Keating Five and
the S&L debacle in the 80's. My best friend at the time parent's lost money big time during that.

I am positive however that my former best friend is now a complete Bushbot.

I don't give a rats ass what John McCain has to say. All I want to hear is the second segment of MTP.

10. lol, nice
I actually use this against someone I know. If McCain was in charge, this wouldn't have happened. It lets me dig at Bush with his own weapon.

215. Berst, you are NAILING THESE SUCKERS TO THE WALL


You really have them pegged!

In order to move the party forward, we need to turn it to the left economically, and to the right socially.

What I mean is make progressive taxes on earned and unearned income the centerpiece of the party platform. Raise the taxes on the rich--raise them a LOT!

Cut back on imports from 3rd world and Asian countries, especially where advanced manufacturing is involved, i.e., we want the fabrication of components back from Japan and Taiwan.

Also, focus on spending all that tax revenue on universal healthcare and longterm unemployment, and emphasize that these benefits are given out to everyone regardless of color.
