He should be all for it then. The apocolypse will get great ratings on the cable news channels.

Hey, John Boner, did you read the Patriot Act?

Why are right wingers so slap-happy to catapult billions into Iraq, and the first time anyone proposes spending money in THIS country, they act like it is the end of capitalism? Seriously, the definition of hating America is someone that wants to dump our wealth on any country but ours.

You guys need to watch that "Frontline" piece on the financial meltdown. After watching it you'll realize that the people running the show are as effective as a bunch of retards trying to hump a doorknob.

So the house of cards is collapsing. We should just wait for all of the cards to fall before we begin to build it up again, and next time, let's have a better plan for building this thing a little sturdier.

Good. Maybe Hannity will get Raptured and we can enjoy the end times in peace.

When you put it that way.

That is unfair to people against the stimulus. True but unfair. It makes them seem unreasonable. Like I said, unfair.

"The process that led to this bill stinks"

You mean the years of financial policy under the neo-conservative financial policy, Congressman?

I saw that last night. In fact, I DVR'd and watched it twice. Very interesting.

The jist of what I took away from it was that Paulson's refusal to bail out Lehman Brothers was what pushed everything over the cliff initially, and that Geithner advised him to do it and he didn't.

What irks me the most about this Hannity video is that all he shows are grandstanding members of Congress, political theatre as usual. Congressmen aren't economists, they're actors.

Let's see a video montage of respected economists glooming and dooming about the stimulus, and maybe I'll pay a little more attention.

Well, that;s it then. I've been Hannitized.

Thanks. And I understand that the main right wing complaint is that the stimulus package is full of pork, but at least it is being spent here. Pork or not, it will put some people to work.

When that 12 billion dollar shrink wrapped pallet of 100 dollar bills went missing in Iraq in 2003, the house and senate republicans, and their talk radio lapdogs just bobbed along like yellow rubber duckies. The news media didn't even pitch a fit. What, question the conduct of the war? That's hating the troops!

I really am starting to believe the conservatives are so partisan, that they would prefer the Chinese and Iraqi's end up with our money, rather than our own countrymen. Shameful.

It does indeed seem that way. And plenty of people are cheering them on, too.

Coward powered.

Setting that video to O Fortuna, without any sense of irony or humor? That's pretty farking hilarious right there.

Jeez, Carmina Burana, black and white imagery and sudden closeups, Senaors shaking fists and calling for doom and gloom...

People keep saying Hannity and people like him are "entertainment" and not "news." What kind of half-witted moran sits down to shiat like this to be entertained? Children, that's who. People even more childish than Hannity.

Whenever I want to learn about the economy or politics, I'm always sure to ask conservative college drop outs.

If Sean Hannity's video montage is any indication, the stimulus package is sure to hasten the apocalypse a football game

SherKhan: Coward powered.

Oh, I am so stealing that.

We are completely farked, but sorry it's not Obama's fault.

Dear Sean Hannity,

Please die of AIDS in a hundred cancerfires.

-Me

paygun: We are completely farked, but sorry it's not Obama's fault.

Not yet anyway. Give it a couple of years and then all the country's problems will be heaped on him too.

Republicans are Liars. that is all they know and that is their tactic to scare the little people so they can steal more of the little people's money.


9/11 9/11 terrorists 9/11 liberals 9/11 terrorists
terrorists
liberals 9/11

that is all i heard for the last 8 years and then these clowns try to use fear to scare folks on the Stimulus bill, the very bill needed because the republicans fukkked up this country.

amazing. its official now, i've heard everything.

/dev/null/republicans

Just sell some of that stuff under the ground out west to the Chinese, problem fixed.

Well of course they are partisan.....they pretty much despise everything on the left.

Now, the mistake would be assuming the left is not the same. They despise anything conservative and will cut the right out of the process anytime they can.

To think that this push-pull type of politics is not going to end very badly is foolish at best. Both parties make a mockery of democracy and once democracy is eroded enough, it comes down to who is more willing to kill who.

Handjob Hannity.

what a worthless piece of red, white, and blue Shhitt!

I found the video to be quite funny.

Please keep acting like a bunch of whiny, petulant frat boys.
Whiny, petulant frat boys get voted out in 2010.

that is my belief. those fukkktards have to deal with something that they've never had to deal with before.

their bullshhitt worked in the past, but now we have the wild card............

The Internet!

and those fukkking corporate swine don't own the Internet so they can't control what news is put on the Internet.

welcome to your future, republicans.

the Internet will make sure the Truth gets out.

make me some tea: Not yet anyway. Give it a couple of years and then all the country's problems will be heaped on him too.

In a couple years he'll be responsible for whatever he did in those couple years. I'm quite sure he's going to fark up quite a lot. But at this point it's rearranging deck chairs.

I give that documentary 9/10. Credit Default Swaps are a reincarnation of Bucket Shops, which were made illegal.

Do you really think the entire clusterfark we are stuck with came to be in the last eight years and is solely on the shoulder of republicans? interesting.

The groundwork for this mess began decades ago and has quite a few D and R hands in it. Not to mention crooked businesses and an entitled, irresponsible population that served to only make things worse.

I love 'O Fortuna'.

/that is all.

I'm totally putting the plastic sheeting back on my windows. Good luck with Obama's poisonous terror gas, libs.

Not sure I follow your thinking. Yes, the left is partisan, but I can't recall a specific instance where they have made a mockery of democracy, or even been so blindly partisan that they have actively worked against the best interests of the country.

Diogenes: Good. Maybe Hannity will get Raptured and we can enjoy the end times in peace.

What god would want anything to do with Sean Hannity, much less want to spend eternity with him?

The most annoying thing about that is the complete lack of originality.

I mean, come on, 'O Fortuna'?
He's not even trying.
He might as well have just had a montage of "Yo momma" jokes.

Lando Lincoln: So the house of cards is collapsing. We should just wait for all of the cards to fall before we begin to build it up again, and next time, let's have a better plan for building this thing a little sturdier.

We did. It was called the "New Deal", you guys didn't like it so much.

ChemicalRummy: Thanks. And I understand that the main right wing complaint is that the stimulus package is full of pork, but at least it is being spent here. Pork or not, it will put some people to work.

Ironically, the Republicans are using a very liberal definition of pork. Most of the goofy stuff was yanked within the first few days of negotiations and was probably out there for that very reason. The rest is reasonable stuff. They can call scientific research funding and infrastructure upgrades "pork", but that doesn't make it so.

What a contemptible lot of stupid, incompetent, arrogant assholes. I could carve a better government out of a banana.

Hagbardr: He should be all for it then. The apocolypse will get great ratings on the cable news channels.

Plus as a Christian the apocalypse is his greatest desire. But what an odd religion that wants more than anything else for his god to come down from the sky and kill everyone on earth. It makes the heaven's gate cult look reasonable.

ChemicalRummy: Not sure I follow your thinking. Yes, the left is partisan, but I can't recall a specific instance where they have made a mockery of democracy, or even been so blindly partisan that they have actively worked against the best interests of the country.

The recent changes to the house rules puts the GoP in a corner and stifles their voice. Not good.

The fairness doctrine that is being floated around. No one should ever be forced to present both viewpoints...period. It leaves the door far too wide open to abuse the idea of what is "fair"

Lastly....and this is the sticking point....There are major philosophical differences between the two parties. The right does not believe they are acting against the best interests of the country and neither does the left....but, they both think the other is doing just that.

In reality, both parties have some good ideas but they are sadly overshadowed by extremists on either side that have some truly whacked out ideas that are destructive to our nation.

Now, democracy aside, we can also get into both parties wiping their ass with the bill of rights. That's an even bigger problem.

Approves.

i hate Republicans...

that is all.

haha "holding up a bill... theatrical...did you ever do that while george bush was president"

pwned

Corvus: We did. It was called the "New Deal", you guys didn't like it so much.

I like the New Deal just fine. I'm all for the WPA to come back.

And of course, if the Stimulus Plan does turn out to make things better...

And I do mean "if"...

Shamrock O'Blarney here will turn right around and claim it was only due to Republican modifications.
