what is the little schmuck saying today?

But first, I want to shove a screwdriver in my ear and twist it around. BRB

yet.

Would someone please inform Leher and the MSM that
it appears their college studies have been forgotten.
Or perhaps good old fashioned LOGIC has been lost.

It is a fact that the Policies of Economic Conservatism
started by Reagan and really hammered into place by GWB
laid the groundwork and finally pushed us over the financial
cliff. Deregulation-- Let the industry or financial institution
regulate themselves. The "Invisible Hand" will always correct
the market. Just this week you hear conservatives--Regulation
is strangling our businesses. Enron and all those companies
which fell like dominos with Leaders ending up in Prison.
They really policed themselves well, (sarcas) No, they
took the freedom of little or no regulation and became first
rate crooks. Likewise, the Housing Bubblle, again taking advantage
of little or no regulation, we produced more crooks and the
American people were left suffering by the side of the road.
The Great Financial Institutions could not rest until they
had regulations such as Glass-Steagall banned. Finally in
1999 they removed last regualtions of importance. Instead
of policing themselves, they too became Gangsters and the
sky was the limit in their gambling until we were almost
in a Depression.

Mr Leher and MSM, This was Republican Policy. This landed
us in the ditch. You appear to want us to overlook this
and therefore not correct it. We cannot correct it if it
cannot be identified.

You are too cute by half everytime you say, "blame Bush" in your
sarcastic tone. Facts are facts. I give you this. The Democrats
would show a bit more intelligence if they referred to it as
conservative Republican policy and not mention Bush.

It appears right now the Lehers of the world are only concerned
with repeating Republican Talking Points rather than fixing
our country. The GOP has been very clever about saying Obama
has to assume responsibility. Obama has to assume the responsiblity
of Fixing ONE HORRIFIC Mess.

Now, the Democrats should drop the word Bush and insert Republican.
The Financial world and Joblessness had started well into the
Bush Adm. The Media just did not report it as usual. The
final cave in happended as Obama was elected.

Mr Leher, the Financial Instiutions were stabalized under Obama.
The GOP admit they would have permitted them to fail. Wall Street
is back under Obama. Some Businesses are beginning to grow ever
so slowly, I admit. But they are not failing. The GOP states
they would have permitted them to fail.

It took Thirty SOME YEARS of Hard Work by the Republicans
to set up the Freedoms for Businesses and they came crashing
down. Obama has been in Office 2years . Come on, You cannot
expect him to fix 30 years of destruction in 2years.

I try to be fair so we have some Democrats who participated
in this downfall. They had best start getting themselves
on the right side of history and think long and hard about
these stupid belt-tightening meansures at the wrong time.

I was appalled by Jim Lehrer's behavior. I hate to say it, but I started wondering if something has happened to his mental state. He seemed in the throes of irrational and inappropriate anger. (Something I must say I have never once seen him direct at any Republican.)

It turns out that I'm to fucking retarded to understand his ideology. Please take it down it makes me sick looking ay him on the front page.

I have such a visceral reaction to that guy. Watching him made theffur on the back of my neck stand up.
