2010 Federal Election Results

Tina Said:

Would you give a campaign donation to pay off the loans of the candidate?

We Answered:

Not a snowball's chance in hell. Not to a candidate who wants to raise my state payroll taxes by 50%. HELL NO.

Jeremy Said:

Why did Congress pass the "stimulus" bill in such a rush if we weren't going to spend it? (only 6% spent??)?

We Answered:

Ha, ha, glad you didn't get the 'you know nothng about..." answers I sometimes get. You make a strong point, but since we are dealing with legal terms now such as "untruths' instead of good old "a lie', the whole thing is a joke.

You need not look any futher than a small Wall Street Journal article at opensecrets.org. It's the last one about the banking and financial industry 'buying" our Congress. If this story is true then it only shows a snipet of the corruption that has been going on for who knows how long in the "wall street crowd".

According to the story this lobbyist group threw $28.7 million at Washington and gave $286,000 to the financial committee and the representatives on it. For what? To remove a regulation, Now get this, that makes them account and be correct abut their first quarter earnings. I assume it's for this first quarter.

Wells fargo, Citigroup and others are now allowed to give better than they are reports on their earnings. I wondered why they would want to do this then figured why not fool the general public and show better earnings and that things are better than they are and people and funds will invest back into these companies.

The regulation dealt with "mark to market", but if I am reading this right then they can put out what ever they want. Didn't World Com and Bernie Ebbers get busted for this? Since I found out that morgan stanley hired te Enron people to use their media sources to drive oi; up to $140 a barrel I am not surprised at anything anymore. Many of the regs dropped under Clinton from what they say on here.

Sad thing is they can now do what they want and rip us off again and the Cngress is the one that told the Financial Accouting Board to "ease up" on the regulation.

What are they hiding, maybe Rep. Paul will be able to uncover this, but in the long run if the lobbyist are able to "buy " our Congress and hire their family members, then it's a lost cause. There is something "rotten in Denmark" and since Soros is a master at attacking countries currencies, I bet he is making a mint now.


Have a great "inflated" 2009!

Helen Said:

Agree or Disagree: Obama's election was the result of false advertising?

We Answered:

In part, yes,.



Especially on the health care mandate.
Shame on him for flipping his position on the health care mandate. That was just a flat-out lie.

On the campaign trail, he said he opposes a mandate.
After getting elected, suddenly, his thinking has "evolved" and now he supports it.
How convenient!


As for the health care negotiations on C-SPAN......
I don't think that's really up to him.
That's really up to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

Natalie Said:

Is Obama about to turn us into the Weimar Republic?

We Answered:

No, that hasn't been seen to be a successful model.

Shannon Said:

Wouldn't you want to get your hands on the original Constitution so you can tear it apart?

We Answered:

Silly. Nonsense.

Discuss It!
