Republican Bailout Counterproposal? Utterly Idiotic

Bonnie:

While I appreciate your enthusiasm ... your rants are filled with falsehoods and illogic. For instance:

1- The Demorcrats don't have to worry about what the Republicans think, say, or do concerning bailouts. They have the majority and can pass the bill without any Democratic support. If in fact their plan is what this country needs (which it's not in my opinion) then shut up, pass the bill, and take all the credit for the great results. My own personal opinion is that other than Ron Paul there is no one in our Federal Government who understands monetary policy and by the way predicted this mess when his campaign began. Neither McCain or Obama said anything.

2- You claim that the Republicans have been in power for 10 years and made a mess of this. In fact, the deregulation of Fannie and Freddie began in 1999 under Bill Clinton. Bush did nothing to reverse it. When Bush came to the Presidency in 2000 he had a Republican Congress and Senate. That ended in 2002 or 2004. It has been in Democratic hands since then. Where were they all these years? What specific proposals to they enact to regulate these thieves better? They had the majority and all they needed was to give Bush the legislation. What specific legislation did they give to Bush that he overrode?

In the end the whole country is in a mess and both parties are lying, thieving, crooks. If you really belive that Obama tells the truth and McCain is a liar then you need a reality check. They will both lie, cheat, and steal, to gain power.

McCain, after 25+ years in the Senate cannot identify one single dollar to cut in a debate where he talks about cutting spending?

Obama is asked what programs he will cut and he proposes more money for Medicare, education, oversight, Real Estate bailouts, etc etc. Not a single specific dollar mentioned to be CUT.

And you believe one is inherently better than the other? Jeez ....
