Anyone else disgusted by Congress?

[artiesliver]

Securing funding for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the event the loans they have on their books default. Guess what you idiots in Washington? The banks that made the loans and the people that took the loans deserve what they get.

Or for wanting to limit speculation in the commodity markets? Where does the liquidity in those markets come from you bozos on Capitol Hill? Let capitalism and free markets dictate the price of goods or whether or not banks will fail.

How about a little responsibility on the part of Washington, Republicans and Democrats alike? Or how about some individual, personal responsibility on the part of the people of this country?

I'm not saying to ignore the cases of fraud that are out there, nor am I saying that we should stop federal funding for those that truly NEED it. I'm simply saying to those that may be looking at the depths of foreclosure...you signed the paperwork, now go live with your relatives. They did it in the Depression and the country moved on nicely, we can do it now.

Unfortunately, by electing John McCan't or Barack O'blameya this ignorant mentality of "I'm a victim" or "I didn't know" or "It's not my fault", isn't going to change. Wake up America, suck it up, and let's change our attitude and let's see some real change in Washington in November.

No I like Congress... they do my cookin' fine.:toast:

 

[guitarjosh]

Very, but also the Executive and Judicial branches too.

 

[artiesliver]

Josh--Yes, you are 100% correct. I should've said, "Is anyone disgusted with Gov't the way it is being run?".

 

[guitarjosh]

Josh--Yes, you are 100% correct. I should've said, "Is anyone disgusted with Gov't the way it is being run?".

Sadly, even though Congress has poll numbers in the mid teens, over 90% of them will be reelected in November.

 

[artiesliver]

Because the sheep will follow the herd...pathetic.

Karl Rove told Congress to go fuck themselves saying "I aint testifying" under oath. I'm still waiting for Nancy Pelosi to indict this POS and drag him in there. If she doesnt yeah Im still disgusted by Congress - and for 100 other things they were supposed to do after the 2006 elections...you'd think the Pugs still held the majority...:smoking:

 

[guitarjosh]

9% approval rating.

I think quite a few are disgusted.

Not enough to vote 91% out of office. Or 10% for that matter.

 

[JudgeWapner]

Yep.

 

[Willie99]

Fair to say I'm a little disgusted with government right now. Partisan bickering, lack of honesty, gotcha politics, perception over substance and they don't address one single issue that needs to be addressed.

term limits please, we're not capable of doing it at the booths.

 

[gtc08]

american people arnt smart enough to deserve the right of the vote. should be completely government controlled, no elections, etc.

I understand your feeling but it is way to spooky for me.

Anybody else pissed that with two wars going on, the economy in the shitter, gas prices rising, foreclosures, infrastructure falling apart, and the dollar dropping, the congress wastes time with things like:

NFL SPYGATE- STEROIDS IN BASEBALL- AND GENERALLY POINTING FINGERS AT EACH OTHER BLAMING THE OTHER SIDE FOR NOT GETTING THINGS DONE. PELOSI AND REID NEED TO BE REPLACED ASAP.

There's a reason for that, and it goes to the point of the thread. 90% of congressmen are more interested in trying to please everyone than do what's right for the country. The FreddieMac/Fannie Mae bailout and the current omnibus debacle currently working it's way through are prime examples. The majority of us are all for capitalism and free enterprise only when it's someone else who's asking for a handout. We love our home mortgage interest deductions, federal student loan subsidies, tax rebate checks, tax cuts, etc. etc. etc.

The burden of debt we're placing on our children and grandchildren is unconscionable. And while Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Roy Blunt, etc. etc., are weak-kneed cowards, they are only the enablers. We're the addicts who demand what they give us.

 

[punter]

It was Dubya and the Repugs that gave tax cuts to wealthy in time a of war (his war) and tacked on 3 trillion to the national debt.

Its all Pelosi's fault Its all Pelosi's fault.

Sir, I thought I made it clear that it was EVERYONE's fault. We're all in this together, and we all need to see that.

dave my man, theres reasons why we have leaders. the leaders are people who use there talents and skills and are genetically, mentally superior to us. those people are the illuminati. to be free we have to destroy those people. that'll never happen, so we shouldnt have the right to vote until we can prove we should have the right.

Genetically and mentally superior to you maybe. The only thing they have superior to me is the amount in their bank account. With wealth comes power or as I like to say money talks and bullshit walks.
