Fuck ABC!!!! Headline: Paulson Fears Deal is Dead: Pleads with Dems, "Please don't Blow This Up"
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 05:53 PM by Bigleaf
The fucking article doesn't fit the headline. Read it and tell me how they could possibly use this headline, those fucks! If you just read the headline and do not click on the story, you'd think the Dems are to blame for this clusterfuck. Unbelievable!

Look at this page with Breaking News and Top Story headline:

Democrats believe that House Republicans are torpedoing the framework deal. The House Republicans have come with a new proposal that Paulson opposes.


Now if he opposes their plan, why do they say he is he pleading with us?

Aren't they the ones who torpedoed the agreement that was reached at the last minute?

Fuck Them!

I edited the post to reflect the main ABC page

3. Yeah, baby! "Deal May Be Dead: Democrats Blaming McCain"
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 05:50 PM by MadrasT
Now THAT'S a headline. :woohoo:

Edit:, hmm.. the headline on the article linked in the OP says "Deal May Be Dead: Democrats Blaming McCain", the banner at the very top of the page in smaller print has the "Paulson Pleads with Dems" bit quoted in the OP.

ABC is apparently suffering from multiple personality disorder.

2. Fuck you ABC.
This is all the Republicans doing, out of an attempt to give McCain an advantage and make this look like a Democratic plan. How can you go and blame the Democrats for this?

8. That's weird.
When you click on the TOP STORY headline: "Deal or No Deal, Paulson pleads with Dems Don't Blow This Up"

and when you click on that, you go to the "Deal May Be Dead: Democrats Blaming McCain"

:wtf:

6. If the Pubs don't go half on this, there's no way the Dems should push it through.
The Dems will be getting the full wrath of the part of the public that doesn't want ANY version of this to pass. They need to let the details be known of what it is they want (namely, the focus on the middle class), and shout far and wide the PUBS are the deal blockers.

7. From the Article:
"But earlier today a source told ABC News that there was a problem resolving the issue of how to help homeowners facing foreclosure. Democrats want to rewrite bankruptcy laws to enable judges to renegotiate mortgages, while Republicans do not. "

The Democrats and the Obama campaign need to repeat this ad nauseum.

10. Dems should declare the REpublcians have killed any bail out and LET IT DIE
It's the only move they are left with.
