Compared to the national inquirer I thought the piece deserved of a pulitzer prize. A 'Bush was abducted by aliens' story would be entertaining though.

[Breakage]

I wish I had a dime for every idiot in this country who benefitted hugely by Bush's easy money policy yet has the audacity to talk **** about him.


I would be the richest guy on planet fukking earth.


I read these posts by these idiots who think they are entitled to the lifestyle they inhabit witout one iota of cognizance that their fleecing idiots of money only fukkin works when the idiots are actually flush with money.


I have been around the block a few times,, tight money is misery for every man woman and child on earth-can bank on it going forward now that we know the idiots cannot handle unbridled credit.

Would unbridled credit have been sired by unbridled? I'll bet that idiot Dutrow could train it. Just shove some of them equipoise suppositories up his azz and watch out.

Pennies from heaven, pennies from heaven.

people act like the terrorist thing was going away

it wasnt and its still not

clinton didnt deal with it

bush had to-so people complain and moan

his administration has killed more muslim radicals probably since dating back the crusades

in the end that is what iraq is about

a maniac was deposed as he should have been

at the same time people died-this is the WAY it goes-freedom is not free and we killed terrorists-some will argue that we created more terrorists-

an ancillary truth

the fact is weakness and doing nothing creates more terrorism

anybody who cries about this and about a fascist state is living in a dream world

grow up

as far as the other side of it

people act like this is the first mortagage crisis--

fact people borrow money from others who want to loan it-

some people cant pay it back-happened during the reagan administration

its the way it works-that is life in the big city

outside the big cities if you owe a bookmaker chances are if you dont pay him back you dont get killed or beat up

guy loses $50k even $10k to a bookmaker during a season sometimes the bookmaker knows he will be lucky if he gets 80% of it back

Terriorist are still winning the war mentally!! There biggest and best weapon is put fear in people all around the world, not just the usa, and they have done a good job of that, because people still talk about it everyday of the week.
As for Clinton dealing with it, his hands were tied being as the attacks weren't on american soil and any military response had to be approved by those countries where the attacks occured.
Bush attack Iraq not for wmd but to keep Sadam H. from taking over the oil fields in that region, they knew dam well there wasn't any wmd there. It doesn't matter how long troups are over there, because 6 months or less afterwards things will back like they were becfore Bush invaded them.

As for this mortage crisis's things started getting out of hand when the Real estate companies slowly begin to jacking up the prices on home's when they to note that millions of mexicans were buying all the cheaper homes up, making a shortage of homes for people to buy. Creating a shortage of homes fell right into there laps to us the ole practice of short supple higher prices. And of course the loan companies jumped right in there with them with there tricky ass finance rates. People were fooled by alot of fast talking real estate salesperson into buying those over rated priced homes then to find out late that 900 a month payment has turned into a 3,000 a month payment. For me i wish everyone of the loan companies go under for fleecing the home buyers with there crooked loans.

[cre8flow]

it was a bit of a scam back in the reagan administration and now

think the entire thing is a joke

clinton bailed out all those greedy people and why should that have happened

Woman calls Bush 'bastard,' Hillary Clinton smiles
Woman calls Bush 'bastard,' Hillary Clinton smiles: The Swamp

BRIDGETON, Mo. -- An elderly lady in the audience at Hillary Clinton's town hall outside of St. Louis prefaced a question about a rumored U.S.-Mexico-Canada economic union this morning by saying "Bush the bastard..."

Hillary smiled, head bobbing slightly, and didn't say a word in dissent. The crowd roared in approval.

The woman, speaking during a question-and-answer session focused on trade competition and pocketbook issues, asked about a widely-circulated conspiracy theory that President Bush was pushing for the creation of a North American "Amero" currency that would replace the greenback dollar.

"He has this all planned for 2010," the questioner said of Bush. !!!!!!!!!!!!

(This woman who called the prexy a "bastard" thinks with her gut, not her mind and probably get her news from the National Enquirer or whatever supermarket tabloid is handy. But, if Bush is still president in 2010, I'll call him worse than that.)

Believe it or not that "Amero" theory is not far off from what my worst fear of what Bush might have been going for. This is an area where I'm not happy with W......the summer leading up to 9/11 he was really cozy and spending time with Vicente Fox, I did not like what I was reading at that time.
