What I would really like to know is how Bush economics has raised gas to $4 a gallon and caused the subprime lender debacle? The connection would tell us how Obama's plan of more government control and taxes will prevent this in the future. Once again, all I hear from Obama is what is bad but not how he is going to solve it, the typical "blame" politics we have had in the Congress for eight long years. He has learned well how to blame. Now it is time to tell us how to fix.
The new Washington Times website is still awful, and Slick Barry Obama, the King of the Gaffe, is full of himself. His plans to lower energy costs is no plan. Slick Barry basically agrees with Thomas L. Friedman that Gas prices ought to be higher only not as fast.
Gramm Sham
Nasty men doing nasty things.
Deregulation, their loop-hole elation,
Home-owning security—the new emasculation.
Nasty men doing nasty things.
Predatory lending, nepotistic mending,
Way to go! Way to go! Narcissistic spending.
Nasty men doing nasty things.
Backroom corruption, Grandma's disruption,
Laughing, yucking, having fun with usury distruction.
Nasty men doing nasty things.
Families feel the squeeze, trapped by legalese,
played by highbrow scum, a haughty sort of sleaze.
Nasty men doing nasty things.
Then they say "My friend" trying hard to send
A message we should trust their parasitic trend.
Nasty men doing nasty things.
Economic advisor? The Enron/housing divisor?
The deeds they do will provide the glue to pull us together much wiser.
Nasty men doing nasty things.
Their tree provides their fruit, filling an unctuous empty suit
With empathy none from what they have done, stealing Americans' loot.
TO: diosprometheus, YOU ARE JUST a MIS-INFORMED FOOL!!!
TO: soxconn, OBVIOUSLY you have NOT read any of Obama's Economic policy proposals or listen to him OFTEN on the Campaign Stump!!
Mr. Gramm is a symbol of what is wrong in America today: a politican who has profitted from the suffering of the very citizens he was supposed to represent. Instead, he found that it was more lucrative to himself if he became a puppet of the banking and oil industy. In his time in the Senate, he constantly supported big business over the common man. Now he is personally
profitting from it.
There is no way I will support John McCain with people like this on his team. The American people need to realize that Mr. Gramm is a lobbyist for a foreign bank. Do you really think he has America's best interests at heart, or just cares to line his pockets with more money?
Dear SouthernPrarieDeb,
I can think of nothing more "nasty" than to cut an innocent, unborn baby out of its mother's womb and throw its dismembered parts in the trash like unwanted garbage.
And your hero, Obama, thinks this is "okay".
Make some cute poetry about the horrors of abortion will ya?
The Democratic party has the blood of over 40 million babies on their hands.
NO WAY I WILL EVER VOTE FOR ONE OF THEM!
... and, let me add -- the majority of this horror is committed daily by Planned Parenthood for MONEY!
If you think things are good, just ask a trucker the next time he is delivering the produce to the local grocery store. Or just drive down to your nearest truck stop and find out just how good life is in the USA.
I read gruesome descriptions of abortion and wonder, how could anyone support that? Then the very person that describes the abortion supports killing in the name of WAR or caring very little for anyone that may not have it as good as him. And swears he got his on his own without any government help. Yet, 90% went to the same public schools they now despise.
You people are a trip! You never cease to amaze me.
I know we have been losing jobs for the past 30 years. I know the price of diesel went from $1.25/gallon in 2003 to $4.90/gallon in 2008.
FYI - the ONLY thing your BIG Business republican leaders want is YOUR money in THEIR pockets.
To "THE-LAST-LIBERAL-REPUBLICAN":
Wait a minute. Who's "misinformed" here?
1. Barack Obama's "economic policy" consists of, among other things, voting to raise taxes 94 times in the last six years;
2. the man flip-flops more than a fish out of water;
and you expect us to really believe him and his economic policy "PROPOSALS"??? Proposals spoken WHILE he's on the "campaign stump"???
PLEASE, WAKE UP!!! That's precisely the problem. He IS on the campaign stump; he can "propose" all he wants. But what has he ever DONE? He's proven that he can't stick to one position on ANYTHING, and his legislative record shows just where he truly (and consistently [wow, what a CHANGE--and THAT one we can believe in!]) when it comes to taxpayers' money.
Obama has the nerve to play stand-up comic over Gramm's remarks of "whining" Americans, when it was he himself who first launched that salvo with the accusation that certain swaths of the population were "bitter" and therefore clinging to their "guns" and their "religion".
The greater shame when it comes to Obama is not how deceptively transparent he truly is, but rather how it is that anybody could give him ANY serious consideration at all for the presidency of all things.
To OneFreeMan:
There is a Biblical difference between MURDER--which is what happens during the procedure we have so euphemistically termed "abortion"--and KILLING in the name of war.
From the Book of Genesis (beginning in 9:6), throughout the Old Testament, and likewise throughout the New Testament, the Bible is clear on this--from linguistic, contextual, and conceptual standpoints.
I'll simply cite one example, from Exodus 20:13, the famous "Thou shalt not kill" passage. The original Hebrew word actually means "murder", not "kill", and most modern translations reflect this truth.
Innocent human life, taken without just cause, in a premeditated fashion, at any age, is murder.
The taking of human life in certain other, specifically prescribed situations is NOT necessarily defined as murder. War and capital punishment are just two such examples. Each of these situations, among others, is in fact Biblically justifiable from cover to cover.
Typical! Republicans tout the love of the unborn, but after they have been birthed—the swindle is cool, poverty is cool, the homeless is cool, and a war of choice that has killed 10s of thousands, among them children, is cool. You are all being revealed for the hypocrites that you are.
Those of us who do not believe in abortion have never been compelled to get one. If you think it is wrong, don’t do it. But the sad truth is that the daughters of self-righteous, pious parents that could not face them with their “mistake” will head to the dark, dank alleys and choose mutilation over the judgmental humiliation of parental shame. In addition, as your party goes with the abstinence only campaign, one in four American daughters are sexually molested, taught that they were brought into this world to be sex toys. But you go ahead and block the morning after pill and keep your head in the sand.
You claim that we’re immoral for supporting a woman’s right to choose, but you seek to block the very programs that would minimize the need for abortions. And then you go over to a country dropping bombs and killing kids, calling it collateral damage. Hypocrites!
And remember, It is your corrupt party that was using Abramoff money to pay for prostitutes overseas, and insisting if they got pregnant that they get abortions. Remember that little scandal?

Hypocrites! Just like the scribes and Pharisees.
You want to talk abortion, SouthPrairieDeb? Only a handful of so-called "back-alley abortions" occurred before Roe v Wade. The pro-aborts love to blow that all out of proportion, meanwhile claiming that legal abortions are somehow safer. Well, I got news for you. They aren't. Women are dying (as well as being maimed for life) from so-called "safe" abortions. Check out the Blackmun Wall for a list of hundreds of such women.

And as for the "morning after" pill, that pill kills newly conceived babies by preventing implantation in the womb. It has it's own complications and is hardly safe. Women and young girls are dying from that pill as well as surgical abortions. But you'll never hear that from the likes of Planned Parenthood and others who make their money from modern day human sacrifice.
Speaking of Planned Parenthood, they are in deep legal trouble for covering up statutory rape cases by not informing the police when minor girls come to them telling them they've been impregnated by much older men. They are being investigated and will be prosecuted. It could (and should) put an end to their blood money business.
You and every single person who defends the right to kill innocent babies needs to see just what it is you support, just what abortion does to a baby's body. Unless you are afraid of the truth. How anyone can view these images and still support abortion has got to have a heart of stone!

No, SouthPrarieDeb, your solutions are no solutions at all.
Look, my blog was about the Gramm sham, and dayspring, you do a good job of tearing people down, and if you want to vote your entire life on this one issue, fine. But there are many stages of life and many issues. I choose to not support abortion by not having one.
Republicans have proven that they are not the party of God, once and for all.
