Ask Rick Perry. He's actually enforcing a no-fly zone over Texas so nobody can see wht Bush missed The Republocan Convention.
Will CNN show us the dead bodies floating around in Galvaston?
Would CNN risk Rick Perry shooting their chopper out of the air?

Let Henry Kissinger lead it! Then we can let Bob Dole follow up like he did when we found out that there was soldiers laying around in their own piss at Walter Reed (No, not the Middle School).
Now they fight black mold. It's all a cover-up that they really don't care if you know about.

Where Was Jeb?
A government money market debacle unfolding in Florida is raising questions about former governor and presidential brother Jeb Bush's possible involvement in the mess.
Bush, as the state's top elected official, served on a three-member board that oversaw the SBA until he retired as governor in January. In August, Bush was hired as a consultant to the bank. Lehman spokesperson Kerrie Cohen, speaking on behalf of Bush, said they had no comment and would not say when the bank had sold Florida the paper. SBA did not return calls.
JEBBIE was PARTNERS wi t he BIGGEST MEDICARE fraudster in the state who FLED THE COUNTRY,,in the 1980s Jebbie single handedly SUNK the Broward Savings and LOan...the papers burried the story so Jebbie could get elected gov

McLame has no clue! He thinks the economy is not bad at all. This from a man with nearly 10 homes, if he can keep track of them. He lied so brazenly on Morning Joe, saying that the ads attacking Obama were true, and that people can check it up on his website. The dumbing down of America continues. Mika asked him what he has to say to the fact that some people think that you will govern the way you run your campaign (which I agree), and he kept insisting that his lies were true. Twilight zone or dementia?
If people vote for the party that lies, distorts, hides their emails, refuses to cooperate with an investigation, has no clue how to set this country on the right path, and has more or less conned the people into voting for them, then American deserves what they asked for, yet AGAIN.

Another conservative sees the light....Brooks this morning in the NY Times:
"Sarah Palin has many virtues. If you wanted someone to destroy a corrupt establishment, she’d be your woman. But the constructive act of governance is another matter. She has not been engaged in national issues, does not have a repertoire of historic patterns and, like President Bush, she seems to compensate for her lack of experience with brashness and excessive decisiveness."
McBush/Palin want to do for the health insurance industry what GOPer economics has done to the financial services industry...you're on your own suckers!
I posted this at the end of the last thread...good article on the McPalin Plan:
Herbert this morning on McCain's HealthCarePlan:
Has anyone bothered to notice the radical changes that John McCain and Sarah Palin are planning for the nation’s health insurance system?
A study coming out Tuesday from scholars at Columbia, Harvard, Purdue and Michigan projects that 20 million Americans who have employment-based health insurance would lose it under the McCain plan.
Under the McCain plan (now the McCain-Palin plan) employees who continue to receive employer-paid health benefits would look at their pay stubs each week or each month and find that additional money had been withheld to cover the taxes on the value of their benefits.
The whole idea of the McCain plan is to get families out of employer-paid health coverage and into the health insurance marketplace, where naked competition is supposed to take care of all ills.
Isn't it strange that the toughest interview was on the View. Joy Behar not known for her political opinions or as a hard nosed reporter called him a LIAR. Even Barbara Walters took him on. Not a single "journalist" has the guts to ask McCain or Palin why they lie. Even Whoopi when McCain said he wanted to roll back the world to the original constitution said, "Oh we are going to be slaves again".
Mike and Joe now appear cojoined. they can't sit any closer I don't think. There is no honesty in what they report they perpetuate the lies. I don't care who it is but lying is lying. Do we want more of the Bush lies, hope not.
Rove has coached McCain very well, just keep telling the lies and don't answer any questions. That is what American wants.
A Commission to find out something we already know.......I watched the movie, "Wall Street" today and it was made in 1987 and is still relevant today: Greed is Good...this is the repug mantra, how's that working now?

We know this stuff...it needs to get out to the masses. To the undecideds. To the republican voters. It needs to get out. It needs to be said.
I think though McCains campaign has been brutally ugly, and based on outright lies, other than that....it's like Bush and Congress....he's so feral and moblike, that stuff like checks and balances only works when there is a common base of acceptible behaviour. Like Barney Fife dealing with Al Capone, suddenly...nothing works because they still are acting "polite"
As the media, that don't ever say "well, you said this, and it is factually untrue. It is a lie."
Doesn't happen. Vonnegut pointed out how classes are like clubs, a politician in Pakistan has more in common with one in the US than with his own countrymen. It's a big club of people that want power, and want wealth and prestige mostly. We are pawns.

And I know what he could name this "commission".
"The Pecora Commission on the Stock Market Crash of 1929."http://inoodle.com/2007/12/bush-admin-wall-streets-deep-denial.html
"Following the Wall Street Crash, the U.S. economy had gone into a depression, and a large number of banks failed. The Pecora Commission initiated major reform of the American financial system. As Chief Counsel, Ferdinand Pecora personally examined many high-profile witnesses that included some of the nation's most influential bankers and stockbrokers. As the Commission's first witness, Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, declared that "The Exchange's refusal to pay heed to popular demand for reform was simply a manifestation of courage to do those things which are right, regardless of how unpopular they may be for the time being." Other important members of the Wall Street financial community to give testimony before the Commission included investment bankers Otto H. Kahn, Charles E. Mitchell, Thomas W. Lamont, and Albert H. Wiggin, plus celebrated commodity market speculators such as Arthur W. Cutten. Given wide media coverage, the testimony of the powerful banker J.P. Morgan, Jr. caused a public outcry after he admitted under examination that he and many of his partners had not paid any income taxes in 1931 and 1932.
As reiterated by SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt during his 1995 testimony before the United States House of Representatives, the Pecora Commission uncovered a wide range of abusive practices on the part of banks and bank affiliates. These included a variety of conflicts of interest such as the underwriting of unsound securities in order to pay off bad bank loans as well as "pool operations" to support the price of bank stocks. The hearings galvanized broad public support for new securities laws. As a result of the Pecora Commission's findings, the United States Congress passed the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, instituting disclosure laws for corporations seeking public financing, and in 1935 formed the SEC as a means to enforce the new Acts.
In 1939 Ferdinand Pecora published his memoirs that recounted details of the investigations. Titled "Wall Street Under Oath", Pecora wrote: "Bitterly hostile was Wall Street to the enactment of the regulatory legislation." As to disclosure rules, he stated that "Had there been full disclosure of what was being done in furtherance of these schemes, they could not long have survived the fierce light of publicity and criticism. Legal chicanery and pitch darkness were the banker's stoutest allies."
We know the story. We know the causes. Don't ask us to be fools and do the tap dancing again.

Does McCain mean that he wants to go after greedy executives like his campaign spokeswoman Carly Fiorina? The so-called "top female executive in the country" who did such a lousy job, spied on employees, and was so despised at Hewlitt Packard that they let her go with a golden parachute worth tens of millions of dollars! And what to do about the other McCain buddies, like Phil Gramm, who lobbied for deregulation of the banking and mortgage industry and profitted from the greed? The "Maverick's" entire campaign is staffed with lobbyists, and now he wants us to believe that he's going to fight for reform and rout out corruption? He can start by cleaning out his staff. This is a perfect example of what I most dislike and cannot trust about John McCain. He thinks we voters are too dumb to know what's really going on here. He insults our intelligence time after time! So now he wants to set up a 911 commission on the economy? Right. Let's get a commission set up to investigate Wall Street. Then after a couple of years we can work to discredit the commissioners and ignore the findings! Another thing, this is the second time in 24 hours that the McCain campaign has invoked 911 as a campaign tool- that's wrong! I think that whenever we hear or see 911 used that way, it should remind us of which party was in charge for 9 months and ignored intelligence warnings for months before that terrible day. No McCain, no Palin, no way!

Maybe he was inspired by the bipartisan Hart-Rudman Commission, which warned that "a direct attack against American citizens on American soil is likely over the next quarter century" and "Americans will likely die on American soil, possibly in large numbers." President Bush ignored their January 2000 report and said Cheney would look into terrorism.

I saw the McCain interview on the Today Show. McCain reminded me of my sister's Chatty Kathy doll from the 60's. He responded to Matt Lauer's questions with the same answer - he believes the foundation of our economy are our workers, we need a commission, blah, blah, blah - closing each repetitive answer with his Grinch Who Stole Christmas smile.
The guy not only creeps me out, but he is also an idiot. I cannot believe that the polls are as close as they are.

Well, the 9/11 commission went through, they made some good recommendations...then the whole thing was ignored by Bush. So I think what is happening is that they will put out a commission so they can ignore the problem, but still feel like they're doing something.
