Chris Matthews has torched republics on this all week.

republicans and (personal) responsibility do not go hand in hand. It is always about finding someone else to blame for their shortcomings

Talking about the economy…

‘Today, the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank (ECB), the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan and the Swiss National Bank are announcing coordinated measures designed to address the continued elevated pressures in US dollar short-term funding markets. These measures, together with other actions taken in the last few days by individual central banks, are designed to improve the liquidity conditions in global financial markets. The central banks will continue to work together closely and will take appropriate steps to address the ongoing pressures.’

“Apparently, Sarah Palin is the only person in America who thinks the crisis was caused by FDR’s New Deal.”

Gee, Scarecrow, are you certain?

That is GREAT news if it’s true …

Palin is an idiot. She was chosen by an ancient benighted warmongering fool. But what I don’t understand is that if the Last Days are so near at hand why bother to fix anything?

Saw a clip on the News Hour from a McCain speech today saying Obama advisers have said the economic crisis is good for his campaign and criticizing Obama for using the situation for political gain.

I don’t know if anyone from the Obama campaign actually went on record with such a statement but the possibility makes me cringe.

Yep, and that “ccordinated backing” includes our Feds making $180 billion available for lending by the foreign central banks. We’re now having to backstop our foreign creditors.

“Look at the oversight that has been lacking, I believe, here at the 1930s type of regulatory regime overseeing some of these corporations,” she says

gobbledygook !

but it does tell me someone told Lil Sarah some backstory on the The Great Depression to keep her from stepping in Phil Gramm’s “failure”

It’s my last shred of optimism. Indulge me.

“”Look at the oversight that has been lacking, I believe, here at the 1930s type of regulatory regime overseeing some of these corporations,” she says.”

I don’t even understand this entire statement…

Oversight that has been lacking…regulatory regime overseeing…

Well, Sarah…who might that be?

She’s more confusing than McCain…maybe she meant Mexico or Spain or Shia..or…does anyone understand anything these people say?? They just make this sh*t up.

You is indulged.

;~D

and the world is gonna buy that, knowing we’re printing pretty paper?

Phil Gramm should be going to jail, not to work everyday at PacMalin and Co. (finer countries destroyed for suitable remuneration). If she gets one talking point correct, the ‘pukes will celebrate 24/7.

FDR is spinning in his crypt.

The figure that I used to update my scandals list (from Bloomberg) was $247 billion. Of course, some of this is on top of what was available before. I am concerned that this injection of cash will re-ignite some of the speculation we have seen. It could also be used to paper over debt problems a little longer, the kicking the can down the road scenario.

You will all soon be receiving the revised world maps that show Spain properly located at the northern edge of South America.

Well Ms Palin, speaking as a fundamental, you nor McCain have/has a freakin clue

quit whining

since I have flown over that part of the region, cna I be ambassador to Spain?

o/t

Bitchslap at the bike racks, 3 o clock

Chris Cos “responds” to Senator McCain

“now is not the time for those of us in the trenches to be distracted by the ebb and flow of the current election campaign. And it is precisely the wrong moment for a change in leadership that inevitably would disrupt the work of the SEC at just the wrong time.”

I saw Spain when I went to Del Rio Texas, so I’m now an expert in foreign policy.

owie

awwwww, why? *g

It’s sooooo much fun. 707

LOL Maybe you can help me brush up on foreign policy before I take office as ambassador

That is a key difference between the McCain campaign and previous Republican presidential bids. In the past, they lied but the lies were consistent within the constraints of the fantasy they were based on. McCain, Palin and their surrogates are all over the place. The party and much of the MSM are willing to play along if you don’t make them look (too) stupid but it has gotten to the point where the pretense that McCain is credible makes his supporters appear as deranged as he is.

“And it is precisely the wrong moment for a change in leadership that inevitably would disrupt the work of the SEC at just the wrong time.”

What?????

Uh oh.

National Emergency?

since I have flown over that part of the region, cna I be ambassador to Spain?

Only if I can be ambassador to Switzerland. I’ve eaten Swiss cheese for years and so am something of an expert.

Palin Tells Fox: “The Economy Is A Mess!” (and It’s FDR’s Fault)

this is a darker statement then is being credited, this is the same as the treasonous “the patriot act” written by hitler in his enabling act and translated by bush, it’s worse then the “drug bills” written by the drug industry which has raped the bank accounts of our elders, it’s worse then “no child left behind ” which was written specifically to undermine public education

they use oposites, when they say something or tag it, the reverse is true

they are trying to keep a new “new deal” from taking shape, even though that is exactly what the economy needs

we need to RESCIND the TAX INCREASES of reagan and bush, we need to REDUCE taxes by going back to the structure before reagan raised our taxes

they are using their “fdr” caused it to prevent the medicine this economy needs

What they said is that this finally got the media off the lipstick crap and focusing on THE issues that Obama & Biden have been talking about……

It is called an interrupt….. the stock market crash & melt down of those companies was like dropping & shattering a crystal glass in the middle of a heated argument….. It makes everyone forget where they were at and then a new topic can be introduced….

well, OK, if you stamp your feet and stuff

Oh…SEC leadership…my bad…

Nevermind…back to Spainico

I was thinking mccain would find a way to have spain be the border country between pakistan, iran and iraq

Our ‘trump card’?

Our nu-cu-lur arsenal.

Unless Bu$hCO go absolutely off the deep end, ‘Merkah will have its way.

Until the rest of the world is not afraid of our hubris, disdain, and willingness to use da bomb, ‘taint likely anybody but Russia and China, and even then, they would have to act in concert, will do diddely ’bout much of anything …

Best course for everyone else is simply to allow us to self-combust, and we seem well on the way to that particular ‘ending’ …

Imagine the collective sigh of relief.

Probably be ‘worth it’ to everybody else just to ‘lose’ whatever ‘money’ they might have invested in ‘Merkah, take the loss and go on, more or less, happily, with life.

Does your cheese trump my Swiss Miss cocoa?

Christie, are you here? Are you going to watch your Mountaineers get spanked by the Colorado Buffaloes? :-)

Hell that trumps any foreign policy experience Palin has had

Nothing wrong with that. To date, the Obama camp has demonstrated good discipline. I can easily imagine an independent analyst/pundit stating that the crisis was good for Obama and McCain falsely attributing it to the campaign.

I personally wonder if Palin realizes that she needs to take Latin before she ventures off to Latin America, I’m sure Dan Quayle could recommend a suitable tutor.

well, hasta luego
off to track down the seven sisters and watch them catch up with the moon

707!

now look at this

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) had been planning to hold a meeting on the economic crisis today. However, his conferenced was forced to cancel it when the Bush administration reportedly “refused” to send over a representative to “brief House Republicans on the federal government’s response to the latest financial turmoil.” Boehner said he was “concerned about the lack of information and the lack of consultation that has occurred.” Earlier this week, the White House also canceled press coverage of Bush’s meeting with his chief financial advisory group.

this certainly looks as though bush’s puppeteers are planning something even the republicans aren’t gonna like

All out war on Pakistan?

You know–Wag the Dog or October Surprise

by the way, why hasn’t this economic crash been blamed on clinton yet?

that is bizarre

Sarah would be better off if she just campaigned topless and with a gimpball in her mouth.

I thought spain was the new Iran

Today McCain comes up the the MRE, no the MRI, no…whatever he called it mortgage something…then hours later it is leaked that the Feds and the Admin. is cooking up the bail-out institution entity…the one that Perris refers to above that Boner got all ticked about not getting info on….

So, it will be that McCain invented it…on one of his trips to Spain to visit with the president of Mexico, and he blackberry’d it on his invention the blackberry…and so McCain saves America from FDR, the one who caused all the problems. He also consulted with the president of Germany, Putin.

oh, I got it, fdr is dead, clinton can defend himself

Spain…Pakistan…any ole’ country will do…

*spew* *cough* I just loss my wine. LOL I needed a good deep belly laugh today. thanks

MFI…mofo institute.

Iran, Venezuela, heck Bu$hCO might decide Canada needs to stop acting like its above us.

Yup. KO saying campaign saying McCain laid out the “plan” on Monday. So, he’s the president already.

Standing with hands on hips and tapping my foot….. harrumph…. I’ve actually been in Switzerland…… even ate lunch in in Switzerland twice….. just two months ago….. after I survived crossing the boarder from Italy into Switzerland…… As we drive through the border the Italian guard looked at us and waved and then Swizz guard looked at us and waved…. it was ruff….

Does your cheese trump my Swiss Miss cocoa?

Depends upon the Swiss Miss. But I have to admit chocolate trumps just about everything in my universe.

The Clenis™ ? Why you are so correct, nothing has been blamed on him for months. They are really slipping.

It’s hard not to think Palin, like her ticket leader, is not a slow learner. Here’s a quote:

Disappointed that taxpayers are called upon to bailout another one. Certainly AIG though with the construction bonds that they’re holding and with the insurance that they are holding very, very impactful to Americans so you know the shot that has been called by the Feds it’s understandable but very, very disappointing that taxpayers are called upon for another one.

The problem of AIG is not its insurance companies, the ones that issue insurance policies and construction bonds. The problem is its exposure to credit swaps, essentially guarantees for losses when securities go into default. There will be no losses in insurance or construction bonds. She apparently doesn’t know that, even though she has no doubt been briefed by people who do know.

Learning this stuff requires a base of knowledge. She lacks it. Some of us don’t.

i think your over qualified. LOL

Sounds like Checkpoint Charlie in a spy thriller. Glad you made it back safe!

You crossed the boarder? Was he/she pissed about that? LOL

Palin is. Preview is my friend.

Too bad the first debate isn’t tomorrow night, it would cap a great week for Obama.

And did not see either guard with a gun…..

Hey, Jo, check out today’s post at M&C…!

It’s hard not to think Palin, like her ticket leader, is not a slow learner. Here’s a quote:

I saw a mazeratti yesterday, I am now an expert on repairing foreign cars

Wow, that is pretty huge.

mccain is now trembling in his boots facing the well prepared, neer genious inteligence of obama

he is scared out of his wit

Should we ask does he know it? Or, does he have one/wit, that is?

Sickening, no? 8-(

Of course Palin blames FDR…McBush wants to eliminate the last barriers to placing us back into wage slavery. The bankruptcy bill was Act I. Here comes Act II. Notice McBush said this at the Convention.

“I know some of you have been left behind in the changing economy and it often seems your government hasn’t even noticed. Government assistance for unemployed workers was designed for the economy of the 1950s.”

An utter lie…Unemployment insurance was created in 1937…in the midst of the Great Depression. It’s an FDR program.

“That’s going to change on my watch….

We will prepare [workers] for the jobs of today. We will use our community colleges to help train people for new opportunities in their communities. For workers in industries that have been hard hit, we’ll help make up part of the difference in wages between their old job and a temporary, lower paid one while they receive retraining that will help them find secure new employment at a decent wage.”

Many analysts think McCain’s program would cover the full difference between the old and new wage in the “temporary” job. But that is not what he said. He said PART of the difference. So a worker might actually become unemployed, and rather than receive anywhere near the amount they would receive from SSI they will have to work, and receive a much smaller subsidy.

And more than that…they are compelled to attend night courses while employed full-time in their temporary job.

Third, they then will go to work in a secure job with a “decent wage”. NOT a job with wages that are comparable to their prior position,,,but whatever McCain declares is a “decent wage”. Of course this is the same man who held that $5.15/hr. minimum wage employment was a “decent job” as he voted against the gradual increase in the Federal minimum wage.

One segment on Nightline: Will the real McCain Stand up? It’s a start.

Blaming clenis risks offending their PUMAS

I just wonder how he’ll play the POW card during the debate to try to make Obama look bad.

“while they receive retraining”

Where have I heard something like that before referring to workers…oh yeah, arbeit macht frei…

There is such a beast? ;-)

Well if the material was American, sent through the UAE, and then became “misplaced” why even include the Iranians in the picture? Maybe it went to the militants in Iraq more directly? Why add an additional, unsubstantiated, step?

Well McCain and Palin thinks that the “Fundamentals” (i.e. Hard Working Americans) are “strong” are going to get the Markets out of THEIR problems.

“Work harder, dammit!”

Fundamentals = proletariat to wealthy people like the McCains and de Rothchilds…

Pertinent question… But it’s illegal and the suppliers could be traced directly… So Darth needed to use his base in Dubai…

The indictment described a sophisticated conspiracy in which items including 12,000 micro-controllers — which can be used to trigger IEDs — 5,000 integrated circuits and 345 Global Positioning System devices were purchased from suppliers spread across the United States via e-mail orders and wire transfers. End-users were falsely identified as universities and companies in countries including Dubai, Malaysia and Britain.

Most of the items ended up in the hands of Dubai-based trading companies, principally a firm identified as Mayrow General Trading, which then allegedly transferred them to Iran via Iran Air, the Iranian national airline.

Federal law requires licenses to export dual-use items — those with military as well as civilian purposes — to certain countries. Additional laws prohibit trade with Iran.

She’s more confusing than McCain…maybe she meant Mexico or Spain or Shia..or…does anyone understand anything these people say?? They just make this sh*t up.

Really good drivel is hard to come by, but the McCain campaign seems to have hired Drivel Inc. to do some writing for them.

Karl Drivel.

Sounds like Checkpoint Charlie in a spy thriller. Glad you made it back safe!

Didya cross in the dead of night with a cold cold rain drizzling down and some machine gun fire popping off in the distance?

What was your code word? Was it “Lipstick Pitbull”?

I just wonder how he’ll play the POW card during the debate to try to make Obama look bad.

The simplest I can think of is to have a nameplate “Senator John S. McCain POW” in front for the world to read over and over.

POW POW POW

And, the other candidate’s should read “President-Elect Barack Obama”. Heh

“Look at the oversight that has been lacking, I believe, here at the 1930s type of regulatory regime overseeing some of these corporations,” she says.

Isn’t this statement self-contradictory? Huh?

message to Palin: SPIN, BABY, SPIN!

The Publicans are melting down faster than the economy.

Palin is beneath a joke.

GOP=America’s Enemy Within

The GOP has stabbed America in the back.
And front.
And sides.

Ironic, but absolutely,
incontrovertibly,
True.

The reason Gov Palin can say this is FDR’s fault is that she was born and raised in a free country because of FDR. But was born after FDR had passed away. It wasn’t till she was 44 years old and running for Veep that her head got filled with hate and despise for this president and her country. Filled with republican elitism and being closer to God because she comes from a small town. She dspises liberals, despises women that want their reproductive control of their bodies. Despising those she is told to disagree with.

She is being reduced to a Rush Limbaugh listener who turns on the radio to listen in to hear who he should hate today and how much hate.
