Bri - What am I conceding? I haven't even decided who to vote for yet - I gave myself another week to decide.

Blue - that was part of the semantics game - sorry my wiseass humor didn't translate well....again! maybe I should just stop trying.

A few of these liberal thugs have already been thrown mercilessly into prison, without trial!
Sisters and brothers, I beg you to join the Campaign to Free the Thugs.

That's a joke, right?

Your face is a joke.

Just kidding. I was channeling Flint.

No, not a joke. I'm guessing most people in his audience that day weren't millionaires, or even quarter millionaires.

Don't be fooled. Plenty of millionares and sub millionaires are Demoncrats. Name anyone in Congress. Look at who is supporting his campaign and what businesses are supporting him. The Demoncrats, and Hillary was the best at it, appeal the poor and downtrodden. Because they are the ones out there making all the promises about what they are going to do for them. Guess what, it isn't going to happen. Congress makes the laws, and Congress appropriates the monies. No promise made by any politician during an election cycle has been kept in full.

Yeah. I'm still just a million dollars short of being a millionaire.

Now if only I were a Dem.

Lemme see now, we've got an $850 billion bailout of wall street in progress. Pelosi wants to call congress back after the election and pass another $150 billion "incentive" plan. Now Obama wants to throw in an additional $60 billion.

That's $1.6 TRILLION. (Gonna have to buy some more printing presses to handle the load of all that new money there Barrack)

I'm laughing my ass off...when the fuck did the whole financial mess become Obama's fault? Someone said there is a 5-10 year lag in policy change, so we can't blame the current administration (which I don't get, either) but now we're projecting blame into the future?

I see what you did, thar.

It is the fault of Congress and the people who made the laws that allowed the markets to bloat and burst.

Not to nitpick, but I think you got your billions and trillions mixed up there. Just sayin

Oops! :D

No, I'm not projecting blame into the future at all. Its just that many policy changes take a lot of time to actually be implemented and take hold. MOST TIMES.

I never said we cannot blame the current administration either. Lets see - 8 years in office and I said a 5-10 year timeframe... 8 is still in between 5 & 10 right? Cuz if its not I didn't get the memo.

I've just heard it time after time, from both parties. If your guy is in office, it's the fault of the guy before him, or the congress who won't let your guy do what needs done. If your guy is not in office, then it's the fault of the guy in office.

Adjust time frames and blame to taste, stir, serve over rhetoric.

;)

Excuse me that post belongs in the "Political Drinks" thread.

I'll try it this way - All I'm saying is that an incumbent, at any time, inherits some of the effects of the prior two terms and many times they take credit for things they had nothing to do with. Or vice versa.

*I am speaking in general terms.
