Thanks So Much, Voters

We did warn them, and ec is exactly right, we warned dems amd independents too. These right wing nuts are fu**ing crazy. I may have to move to Canada

It’s not just the GOP. The Obama admin are letting the people who bankrupted us off the hook.This whole damn government is criminal and protecting the criminals.Federal prosecutors have shelved a criminal investigation of Angelo R. Mozilo after determining that his actions in the mortgage meltdown — which led to $67.5-million settlement against him — did not amount to criminal wrongdoing.Perhaps the most insightful comment in LAT’s coverage of Mozilo’s escape of any liability is this:Columbia University law professor John Coffee said mortgage cases like Mozilo’s were muddied by the numerous parties involved, unlike Enron and other “cook the books” cases in which executives were convicted.Countrywide’s model was to make or buy mortgages only to sell them off immediately to Fannie Mae or Wall Street as fodder for securities.Given that model, Coffee said, blame could be assigned to an entire chain of players: mortgage brokers who falsified applications; investment bankers who concocted complex and “opaque” mortgage bonds; rating firms that provided high ratings on the bonds but said they were lied to; and institutional investors that relied on dubious ratings because the securities carried above-market interest while promising to be risk-free.“All share responsibility, but none are culpable enough by themselves to compare with [Enron's] Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling or the WorldCom CEO,” Coffee said.I guess we could write a new corollary to the line, “If you owe the bank $100 that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that’s the bank’s problem.” If you commit massive amounts of fraud by yourself, even George Bush’s Department of Justice will indict you; but if everyone in an industry conspires to commit the same kind of fraud, Barack Obama’s Department of Justice won’t charge anyone.

You can also thank the proffesional left and FDL firebaggers for spending 2 years shitting on the president rather than helping him. They were told every step of the way that they would only further the cause of Republicans, but they are just too kool for skool.Even now the residents of FDL attempt to blame Obama for every other thing.

Another thing: I have to give credit to the Republican Congressmen and their media machines for consistently being able to make anyone or anything the “enemy” in the eyes of the voters.

Wall St. WAS the enemy of the Tea Baggers. Now who is the enemy? Planned Parenthood, the EPA, and really any government agency or employee (except for Congressmen, of course) are the new targets for anger.

What about those assholes in the private sector that brought the economy to its knees? They’re cool now. And they need TAX CUTS!!!!

White resentment in this country will either die off or destroy the country as we currently know it. Even if the majority of whites in America have no since of entitlement, there is a large minority of whites that still do.It is this large minority that is hell bent on unraveling any social safety nets that aid a growing and eventually equally diverse American population.The intelligent part of this white minority (the business and GOP leaders), know they will eventually lose and are robbing the country blind on their way out the door. The poor members of the white minority (Tea Party) still believe they can somehow regain control and restore their white entitlement.I believe this because any thing being done or proposed by big business, GOP, or Tea party does not make any sense. Everything they propose is not sustainable. If you follow any of their policies to conclusion, they all end in complete collapse. This is also why you get poor whites voting against their own economic interest.Once this battle has been settled, America will probably require a mini or major uprising to remove the money that has corrupted our politics and restore our societal safety nets.

Tea bag partiers have the same mindset as the immigrants who came to this nation prior to world war 1. After world war 1 most of these new citizens lobbied to close the door except to white Europeans. Not to mention that in the late 19th century congress passed the Chinese exclusion act.One can say it’s fairly certain that older tea bag partiers are out to cut the throats (benefits) of young workers no matter what the race or etnicity of the young workers. This is just like congress shutting the door on immigration in 1924.So in some respects it’s generational warfare and not class warfare since a lot of these older tea bag partiers worked all their lives for chicken shit and now don’t want their social security benefits or medicare cut to benefit younger workers.

What ceu said.

MrBrink: Show me a more immediate threat to national security and America’s general welfare than the GOP.Anyone? Arrest them. They’re more dangerous and blatantly threatening to individual freedom and mobility than any amount of American debt. .

Exactly.

It has so far cost the American Taxpayer four hundred billion dollars for the Republican controlled Congress to do nothing about job creation. How’s that return-on-investment?
