Didn’t Rove say “Too far?”
Filed Under Political Shitheadery | 1 Comment
Carl Rove made it clear that even he thought McCain went too far in an ad campaign that blatantly misrepresented what Obama said and did. Accusing him of wanting to teach sex-ed to kindergartners.
But the latest ad, shown below, is over the top.
Here’s where they got this quote:
[We need] a plan that would extend expiring unemployment benefits. For those Americans who have lost their jobs and have been working hard to find a new one, but haven’t found one yet. That’s part of the change we need. And then after this immediate problem, we’ve got the long-term fundamentals that will really make sure this economy grows. Change means tax code that doesn’t reward the lobbyists who wrote it, but the American workers and small businesses that deserve it. As President I am going to eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and start-ups.
How is this not shameful and disgusting? Jesus H Christ! What have we become? Where are the morals and scruples that made this country honorable and great? I’m affected physically by this shit. Damnit!!!!
How does a guy who talks about honor, serving his country, and serving the people of this country put his name and approval on something like this?
Don’t people get to a point where lieing, cheating, and screwing other people becomes physically painful?

More questions

From what I’ve been able to understand, banks and mortgages companies are holding loans that are nearing foreclosure, which will supposedly lead to the demise of the American economy. In his speech last week, Bush made it pretty clear that this mess was a direct result of being buying homes they couldn’t afford
I understand that people were approved loans they couldn’t afford, loans were given to people without verifying income, and that sub-prime lending was a risky proposition. Those poor bastards probably deserve to loose their homes.
I also understand that there were people who wanted to buy a home, proved they could buy a home, showed income statements, and maybe didn’t have the best credit score and bought with the hope of refinancing. These people are facing a substantial increase on their current mortgage payments and at the highest risk of foreclosure.
Why aren’t banks and lenders being proactive and renegotiating those loans? Wouldn’t it work to their advantage to offer an interest rate that a homeowner can afford over the next 30 years, rather than risk not getting payed at all?
The party’s over damnit, it’s time to do the right thing.

McCain at it again - yee haw

Of course it’s on FOX News. Why would McCain take the risk of speaking to real journalists?
Wow, with Sarah Palin’s upcoming flogging, erm, debate? He really craps his drawers when it comes to debates.
Here’s a little Letterman just for fun.

I have some questions
Filed Under Political Shitheadery | Leave a Comment
So, the house voted a resounding ‘Nay’ this afternoon and denied the bail out. What was supposed to bail out Wall Street and banks wasn’t as important as hurt feelings. At least that’s the way Barney Frank put it. Is that true? Is it because Pelosi made some poorly timed, idiotic, partisan speech blaming Republicans for this mess? And that Republicans care so little about the country that they would allow their fragile egos to be bruised?
Is this bailout necessary and why is it that once the bailout occurred we started seeing more and more banks jump ship and fail? Now there are rumblings of GE wanting a piece of this too? Does the largest capitalist country in the world have this many shitty business people that they’re failing at this rate?
Are all the CEOs in this country so consumed with greed and incompetence that they can’t fight their way back to the top? How did these morons get to a point in their careers that they could demand multi-million dollar salaries without proving their ability? Who hired them?
Then there’s this: If these banks are failing because, as Bush made clear, people were irresponsible when buying homes, wouldn’t it be a logical step for banks holding these mortgages with unreasonable interest rates to start calling people? Call people with 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 percent interest rates and see if they can pay 6 percent. Rather than take homes that are going to cost (what the mortgages companies are saying) $250,000 just for the paperwork.
I may be naive, but it seems to me that the more help that’s offered the more companies are going to want to a piece, rather than actually run a business responsibly. That may take work.
And wouldn’t it be logical for banks to get 6% for the next 30 years, rather than take on a house that in this market is depreciating in value?
Or does that make too much sense?

Bailout … the nays have it

I’m sure who ever voted in either way was doing it strictly to save their own ass, but as of right now I don’t know what those reasons are. Here’s the video The house votes no on the bail out today.
Here’s a good one too …

Michael Moore’s e-mail
Filed Under Media Shitheadery | Leave a Comment
While I think Michael Moore is a self indulgent, radical, blow hard, I have to admit the e-mail, written by him, I got this morning was worth a read.
I generally treat these “emails” with some speculation, but this one’s on his site.
Besides, if it’s on the Internet it must be true.
