Awesome! This gal is going to rock DC. The old guys and the stuck up rich people won't know what hit them. Finally, a politician that everybody can relate to, and she can relate to us.
ReplyDeleteWell, heck, I spend every day at work making people happy and solving problems. I'm an excellent supervisor and leader, and I can relate to people, and they can relate to me. I am good at bringing people together, too. I can see the night sky every night (just like Palin can see Russia from an island in Alaska), so I guess that makes me well-versed in intergalactic policy. Maybe I could be VP for an elderly man and wait for that heart attack or bad biopsy and become President. Oh, I forgot. I don't have that all important feature of being "hot."
ReplyDeleteDo we really need more "change"?
ReplyDeleteGeorge Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.
70 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
5) American's were buying new cars,taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!...
But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right.
In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.
5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~
$2.
5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ....
REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.
AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!
JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?
No matter whose side on you're on, that poster is ridiculos and disrespectful. "Naughty Librarian," indeed! This is a presidential election, not a soft porn festival.
ReplyDeleteCheers to Anon 814AM! I am so tired of the democrats blaming the economy on Bush and the Republicans. You're right....everything was good until the DEMOCRAT congress entered. From there, everything went downhill. But dont tell that to the liberals - they will certainly turn that around and say that Bush vetoed everything. Wrong!
ReplyDeleteGrannydragon, you rock!
ReplyDeleteAGAIN!! Your side proves the double-standard when it comes to Governor Palin:
ReplyDeleteAsking her about her record, her qualifications, her beliefs, her detailed stance on anything, or quesitoning her in anyway is sexist.
Calling her a naughty librarian is perfectly fine, decent, and patriotic.
OK. Fine.
And you still think Obama is the celebrity?
8:14 Amen - couldn't have stated it better
ReplyDeletePerfectly Rediculous! You're all living in a fantasy bubble that has burst. The economy for the forst 6 1/2 years was not great. It was an illusion built on greed and deception. And palin? Well Palin has seen her 15 minutes of fame. She's a zero and the thinkers out there know it. I am however looking forward to her Playboy spread.

ReplyDeleteYesterday, President Bush announced his $700 billion plan to buy out troubled financial institutions. Demanding enormous faith in his administration’s stewardship, the plan “would place no restrictions on the administration other than requiring semiannual reports to Congress, granting the Treasury secretary unprecedented power to buy and resell mortgage debt,” and to hire outside firms “to help manage its purchases.” Further, the proposal provides no oversight mechanism:
Sec. 8. Review: Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.
Bush is demanding unprecedented control over billions of dollars — with no oversight. His history of mismanaging taxpayer dollars should make Americans skeptical of his buyout plan:
IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION
-$142 million wasted on reconstruction projects that were either terminated or canceled. [Special Inspector General for Iraq, 7/28/08]
-“Significant” amount of U.S. funds for Iraq funneled to Sunni and Shiite militias. [GAO Comptroller, 3/11/08]
-$180 million payed to construction company Bechtel for projects it never finished. [Federal audit, 7/25/07]
-$5.1 billion in expenses for Iraq reconstruction charged without documentation. [Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction report, 3/19/07]
-$10 billion in spending on Iraq reconstruction was wasteful or poorly tracked. [GAO, 2/15/07]
-Halliburton overcharged the government $100 million for one day’s work in 2004. [Project on Government Oversight, 10/8/04]
KATRINA
-Millions wasted on four no-bid contracts, including paying $20 million for an unusable camp for evacuees. [Homeland Security Department Inspector General, 9/10/08]
-$2.4 billion in contracts doled out by FEMA that guaranteed profits for big companies. [Center for Public Integrity investigation, 6/25/07]
-An estimated $2 billion in fraud and waste — nearly 11 percent of the $19 billion spent by FEMA on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita as of mid-June. [New York Times tally, 6/27/06]
-“Widespread” waste and mismanagement on millions for Katrina recovery, including at least $3 million for 4,000 beds that were never used. [GAO, 3/16/06]
DEFENSE CONTRACTS
-A $50 million Air Force contract awarded to a company with close ties to senior Air Force officers, in a process “fraught with improper influence, irregular procedures, glaring conflicts of interest.” [Project on Government Oversight, 4/18/08]
-$1.7 billion in excessive fees and waste paid by the Pentagon to the Interior Department to manage federal lands. [Defense Department and Interior Department Inspectors General audit, 12/25/06]
-$1 trillion unaccounted for by the Pentagon, including 56 airplanes, 32 tanks, and 36 Javelin missile command launch-units. [GAO, 5/18/03]
Given Bush’s history of gross fiscal mismanagement — including an unprecedented number of no-bid contracts and Bush’s resistance to closing fraud loopholes or increasing oversight of contracts — why should Americans trust another $700 billion to his care? Paul Krugman writes, “Let’s not be railroaded into accepting an enormously expensive plan that doesn’t seem to address the real problem.”
Just wait for the Biden / Palin debate. I just hope there arent an questions about Russia. Thats a hard country to see from Delaware.
ReplyDelete8:14 is simply spewing Republican talking points. So if the EXECUTIVE branch is so unimportant to the economy, then why is Mccain claiming he can fix it? Which is it? You don't even recognize the contradictions within your own arguments.
