		<description>BTW, I predicted things would get a lot uglier and they have. The McCain (Rove) camp is conducting push polls in the states with a lot of Jewish people, giving the firm impression that Obama is allied with Hamas-- just in case any of them were planning on voting for him. This despite his firm support of Israel in the Senate!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess when the RNC  starts losing in the polls, they reveal their true nature.</description>

		<description>&quot;inconvenient truth&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I see this and tangentially, I have to laugh -- I&#039;ve been reading classic and contemporary books on global warming lately (Lovelock, Gribbin, Schneider, et cetera) and one critic (he is awake, as I am) at least corrected shamster alarmist Gore&#039;s book&#039;s title: &quot;A Convenient Religion&quot; (complete with priests and punishments for lack of faith, or heresy).</description>

		<description>Dave in Boca -- one thing the Dems can be hammered for is that they&#039;re professing helplessness currently in Congress to do anything to assist anyone with the economy, and are planning on leaving on vacation (excuse me, recess) as scheduled; that is, they are doing nothing themselves but sitting back and criticizing the Bush administration and the GOP and in doing nothing, hoping that things will remain bad or get worse between now and November.</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t heard or seen anything that says the Obama group is happy about misfortune in this country, though that has been the case with the Left before, and even if it is true now, it&#039;s not necessarily a leftist phenomenon, but an &quot;opposition&quot; kind of phenomenon; nobody necessarily wishes hardship or disaster for anyone, but of course the party of power in this country is naturally going to relish misfortune, which it can exploit as part of its campaign strategy to retake power in Washington.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If they&#039;re openly cheering, they are scum; but I haven&#039;t seen evidence of this myself -- and I&#039;d let a smirk or two &quot;slide by.&quot;</description>

		<description>Well, conservatives don&#039;t walk the walk, CO.  Look at the massive growth of government spending since 2001. When Republicans took over Congress did they cut back on earmarks? Some of the biggest earmark offenders are in the GOP, including the chief executive, himself.  Aren&#039;t they supposed to stand for balance budgets? We now have replaced a large surplus with a 400 billion dollar deficit. And now a Republican administration who touted their handling of the economy has had to nationalize a major corporation, and deal with a panic on Wall Street because of their policies.</description>

		<description>Typical conservative response. Yet another major issue crops up under this administrations watch and so lets turn on those who point out that inconvenient truth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tell you what, slamfu...let&#039;s walk the walk instead of talking the talk. The fiscal &#039;07 unfunded deficit of the US is some $85 trillion.......per household that comes to about $447,000.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I will write a check for my share as soon as you write yours.</description>

		<description>Slamfu,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would hate to be an Aztec high priest during an eclipse if you were around.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“Hey, it happened while he was supposed to be taking care of the gods.  Let’s cut his heart out so the crops will grow again.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you toss out facts and logic, I guess you can rationalize just about anything.</description>

		<description>Typical conservative response.   Yet another major issue crops up under this administrations watch and so lets turn on those who point out that inconvenient truth.   All things conservative are detrimental to the long term health of this nation, blind faith in deregulation is one of them.   And no matter how big a fiasco it generates, I assure you regular watchers of FOX will still think its the key to a healthy economy even as they are fleeced by those protected by the policies of those they voted into office.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I used to be a conservative, then I grew up, started taking notes, and between 2000 and 2008 turned into a die hard liberal.   All you have to do is look at results.</description>

		<description>I guess this means that McCain knows he can&#039;t win on the economic issue so he&#039;s trying to turn it on its head and go after Obama on it.  It&#039;s hilarious, but that&#039;s politics for you!</description>

		<description>Dave seems to forget that a Republican Administration just nationalized AIG.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BTW, this is a pathetic and desperate ploy from McCain. Is he saying that Wall Street investors are actually selling stocks because Obama is mocking McCain&#039;s views of the economy. How stupid does Steve Schmidt think we are?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Wall Street is melting down because of some atrocious decisions made by greedy corporate executives, and because the philosophy of excessive deregulation prevented common sense control over the markets.  McCain can&#039;t suddenly pretend that he&#039;s some Robert Reich-style regulator after supporting Phil Gramm&#039;s policies all these years. He&#039;s not credible.</description>

		<description>We know that before the surge, the Dems led by Harry Reid were pontificating that &quot;the war is already lost&quot; with a hopeful tone.    &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now they&#039;re doing the same with the economy.   I was a Democrat for twenty-five years before I grew up and figured out that their main goal is to aggrandize themselves on public money and exercise control over private enterprise.   That remains their only reason for existence and their politics resemble a giant RICO scheme.</description>

		<description>I listened to McCain&#039;s remarks today in my hometown of Cedar Rapids live on the radio and you could smell the desperation through the radio. He was stumbling and bumbling all over the place and generally incoherent.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Of course, the highlight was Sarah talking about how things will be different in the &quot;Palin-McCain&quot; administration - me thinks she is looking ahead already to future elections.</description>

		<description>Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- The Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn&#039;t equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can&#039;t agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lawmakers say they are unlikely to take action before, or to delay, their planned adjournments -- Sept. 26 for the House of Representatives, a week later for the Senate. While they haven&#039;t ruled out returning after the Nov. 4 elections, they would rather wait until next year unless Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, who are leading efforts to contain the crisis, call for help. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One reason, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, is that ``no one knows what to do&#039;&#039; at the moment. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*************************************************************************************&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All we need is a Democrat in the White House to make the picture complete.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think I’ll hold off hiring some new people until the election is over.</description>
