32. This woman who has more power than Sarah Palin possibly ever would is running the country into the ground.
That's leadership you can be proud of....

rightwingnuts steal trillions, grant themselves parachutes made of 24 carat gold and then try to get one of their hatchet men and his lackeys in the whitehouse and in the republican party party to force the American citizens to foot the bill. Yet you blame the dems when they didn't buy itZ? Fuck you you simplistic bitch. Thank god most of the repubs in the house didn't buy this load of shit. You want to bail out billionaires? Dip into your savings account if you still have one. I for one keep my charity for those in need and not those in the top one tenth of one percent earning bracket. When they give back the money they stole and when the house and senate come up with a plan my grandkids won't still be paying then I'll consider supporting these crooks on wall street and in the congress.

33. Palin: Well, first off Pat, I'd like to buy a vowel, if I may?
Moderator: Sorry Sarah, this isn't the 'Wheel'. Even if it was you wouldn't have any money yet.
Palin: I knew that! What I wanted to say was that I'd wish for World peace! (Looks off stage and notices heads shaking).. um.. By that I mean 'victory', nothing less than victory over.. those we have always been at war with.. the (glancing off stage) commu.. (heads shaking).. terrr..or..(heads nodding)..ism, TERRORISM Pat, we've always been at war with terrorism.
Palin whispering to off stage: Is it time to buy a vowel now?
Off stage: (groans, heads lolling back shaking, hands shaking "NO!") (somewhere a bullet is heard passing through some 'coach's' brain.)
Palin(pleased with herself): So.. to sum up, World peace PLUS continuing and perpetual victory against(pause then with emphasis) TERRORISM! ..... and I'd like to buy an "Eeee", Pat!

34. Tim, you're about one stupid son of a bitch dude.
You sound just like Pelosi, start some shit with a no brain comment that's as irrelevant as you are.
This is the third time you've misquoted me on these blogs. If I had enough confidence you had the sense to show me where I'd written the things you're accusing me of I'd challenge you to do so. Pelosi's job is to bring unity in the chamber fool, not dissension when the countries finances are falling apart.
I've written 40 or 50 comments on what's developing right now & not one single time have I excused anyone of wrongdoing. As of now, you simple minded peasant, there is no wrongdoing tied to criminal intent. If you had a few active brain cells you'd recognize that. All this arrived from massive internal check failures across the board idiot. You're the typical Democrat talking out your ass.
The bad bill that was proposed initially was authored by DEMOCRATS taking over ALL THE BAD DEBT these so called thieves you're speaking of took. If anyone's helping them get out the hole it was the DEMOCRATS you moron!!
you said:
>>>Thank god most of the repubs in the house didn't buy this load of shit.>>>
So on one hand you're blaming Republicans for the theft but on the other you're recognizing only the Republicans took a stand against helping the ones you've accused of doing all the stealing?
Read your own post, something's wrong with your organization of thoughts.
The Dems were in the process of screwing it up asshole. Maybe that's because they know very little about free markets & only possess the capability to steal from them at will to support themselves & the ones who drag free enterprise down.
By the way chump, where's your fearless leader Obama in all this? Is he hiding under the bus with all the other radical thieves & liars he's cast under there? Why don't you join him chump?

35. Bobby: You can't argue with Tim, he can barely put down a thought, let alone a rational thought. I see nobody mentions that Paulson is in his job until after the election, so why give him all that power to just risk turning it over to the Bems if they win?
There are a lot of people pissed off at Congress and Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, et. al. know it, so why not try and get some Reps in there to point fingers at when its all their fault. Whe Pelosi announced a deal, there was not one republican standing next to or behind her except Barnake who kissed enough Dem ass that he should be able to taste it for the time he's in office. Where's Obama? Boning up on the economy and trying to figure out how he screwed up the first debate. He's catching crap for messing up the deal as well...so much for the most intellegent politician in the world! When you get rolled by someone like Tim, ignore him, he will not change and he's not overly bright since he had to insult you to make a point, couldn't do it with words. Keep on truckin', its not over yet. You could be like Bill Maher's last show, it got about as much applause for his jokes as a dead cow in summer..its not going good for the left and they know it.

36. you're right Ded, just seems hard to back off when the total sum of what you say is grossly misrepresented.
What Timmy boy doesn't understand is this is the second time in as many months Pelosi's used her power & influence to screw the American people.
The drilling legislation that was overwhelmingly accepted by the public Pelosi balked on. The Democrats saved face on an issue they were wrong about by letting the ban on drilling expire.
Now in a time of crisis instead of just making the presentation she's got to throw in a plug for Obama laying blame when the American people sincerely want action.
It's too much for me to take at times, some people just don't get it....

37. thanks for the entries neoclowns, but the number one for 3 weeks running is still the one about obama's mother attending "a highschool that was a hotbed of marxism."

Interesting LouisIX, and what school did she attend?Were you there too, or just "experimenting?" This has to be an inside libtard joke..its not funny, its not relevent and it insults a woman. Hmmmmmm.

39. My personal favorite was someone ruminating on the possibility that the infamous anthrax mailings were tied to pending "No Child Left Behind" legislation.

Gotta love the fact that ya got nothing other than insults and idiotolgy. BTW, not all rightwingers are idiots and yes this mess was brought to us by those who actively promote unfettered greed, which is what drives the far rights vision of freee market laisses faire capitalism. Tell me that you guys don't embrace deregulation. Tell me with a straight face Bobby.

41. "Okay Tatiana, let's tell all the facts here, to counter your misleading blurb: Cindy McCain FOUNDED this charity in 1988 and ran the organization until 1995, when the organization was disbanded and Cindy McCain started a new charitable organization focusing on impoverished children called the Hensley Family Foundation."
Oh goody...biographical info. And where does any of this refute the FACT that Cindy McCain was caught by the DEA, stealing drugs? She did indeed get fraudulent prescriptions written, but she also stole the actual drugs from the organizations' supply.
Had she not been the wife of a senator, she would have almost certainly served time in prison, possibly as much as 20 years. The charity WAS closed because of the DEA investigation.
But hey, don't take my word for it.

Probably not. Most first time offenders of this nature (non-violent, not reselling) receive a combination of mandatory treatment and probation.
