This is merely ONE more of the many issues that the Dem's seem to have forgotten (purposely) and when you begin counting up all of the ways they have failed their constituencies, than they will begin to lose elections.
What we need is a strong and solid Progressive Third Party.

It is beyond conscience, that in the 21st century mankind has apparently not placed greed aside when it comes to doing what is right as opposed to what is profitable. Anything for a buck seems to be the working disorder of things in both government as well as Wall Street. Whether it is the housing crisis, the fuel crisis, perpetual war for perpetual peace, failing educational standards, a lack of affordable food, health care and the list goes on, all with one single common denominator. MONEY. I guess one could wax philosophic on the problems that face mankind these days, but as long as this medium we call money is what controls the difference between the have's and have nots, things will continue to spiral downward. This country requires leadership and sad to say, the curent crop of candidates fail to meet any useful human standard other than pandering to the public with handouts and little in the way of a viable vision for the future.

I would like to caution all who speak ill of our congressional DEMS lest you receive a strongly worded letter from Cong. Conyers.

Bumpkis, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOL, are you suggesting that our congressman Conyers actually cares what we think, much less say?

Looks like somebody did Hillary a favor:
In the landmark civil fraud case against Bill Clinton in Los Angeles, where the former President is charged with defrauding a Hollywood dot com millionaire to help Hillary Clinton obtain more than $1.2 million from him for her 2000 Senate campaign, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aurelio Munoz ruled on Friday, April 25 that Hillary Clinton would not be required to testify in a sworn deposition as a material witness in the case until AFTER the November election!
how can they do their jobs when they spend ALL THEIR ENERGY fighting for the job,by the time they are elected they have exhausted all the energy needed to fight.

johnosahon 2 minutes ago ------------------------------------------------------ I know this is a novel concept, but what if our elected officials thought (and fought) less about their RE election and worked toward what the citizens actually needed!
I know, you say why then they wouldn't be reelected. I know, but MAYBE if they actually DID GOOD, the public (as they did so generously for Obama) would donate money to their next campaign.
This way, the politicians could actually work FOR US and if they were any good, WE would give them the money to do it all over again.

PT..I think his staff has a file cabinet full of these strongly worded letters, and trots them out every so often for him to sign....or maybe they have one of them Rumsfeld auto signing machines....

Polly_Tics, what i was trying to say is this, IT IS OUR FAULT.
IT is our fault,just look at obama, we allow the media, hilary and the republicans to carry on about "biiter", "wright", that he has exhaused himself fighting about crap, thinking about crap instead on our needs. if we really cared, we will DEMAND they talk about the issues and not about crap, and i think if getting the job is about issues, the politician will be less exhausted and actually do their job.
that's my thinking.
NOTE *****
by "we" i mean EVERYBODY in AMERICA.
i am exhausted myself, i can only imagine how obama is now. i kind of wished he never ran, so i am not emotionally attached and hence EXHAUSTED.

It was a bi-partisan bailout. Also, Pelosi just added 70 billion dollars to Bush's requested 108 billion for Iraq:
Just as "Wall Street" should not be 'bailed out', the idiots who got lousy mortgages, bought above their 'means' or thought that they could flip a house for a big profit do not deserve any help at all. Let them live on the street for a while - maybe that will help them develop some common sense.
Of course, there are those who had circumstances, such as medical conditions, that eroded their ability to pay their mortgages, and they deserve our sympathy and help. But the rest, let them eat cake. Bling bling, my ass.
