DISQUS

Good! I would hate to think there wouldn't be any more porn movies like "Truck Stop Women," and by cutting him loose, Mr. McGoo would be responsible for shutting down any more future Republican "family values" flicks Gramm might invest in to film!

If Republicans really thought about it, anytime Phil Gramm executively produces his porn he forces the American tax payer to fund pornography. Nice, GOP family values, huh? I wonder if the GOP would care if Senator Larry Craig produced a movie entitled, "Airport Men's Room Facials"...???!!!! By the way, remember all that TALK about Senator Larry Craig resigning? Why doesn't he get hounded every day by the press for his lying hypocrisy?

Frankly, I'm glad to see him back. He can be hung like an albatross around McCain's neck next to his war decorations. Over the next few months he should raise more than a few big stinks.

It's not a recession until there are 2 successive quarters of negative growth. Close, but no cigar...(no offense, Monica...)

unrepentant_expat · 1 year ago

Yeh, thank God for a falling US dollar to fog up what is obvious negative growth.

When Obama gets in, he can change the definition of recession to whatever he wants it to be. A recession is when your neighbor doesn't have a job. A depression is when you don't have a job.

Well, there goes the neighbourhood.

With people like Phil Gramm whispering in McCain's ear, I understand why McCain thinks it's a good idea to release corporate America for the responsibility of providing health care to employees, a responsibility they fought for when the idea of universal health insurance began. I'll bet they would still provide it for executives. McCain is too removed from reality.

Busboy · 1 year ago

I have a little "heads up" for you, MNUSA. Corporate america is praying for universal health coverage. It will automatically cancel out all of the hard won Union health plans; will take the premium/taxes from the worker's paycheck to fund it and will probably take them off the hook for workmen's compensation.

Here's a interesting development: It seems Condi Rice notified all embassies to limit assess to both Obama and McCain while they are overseas; however, it's just a coincidence the order went out the day Obama left.

"Officials said the orders had been in the works for months and it was just coincidence that they were issued Thursday, the day the presumptive Democratic candidate left Washington for a much-watched trip to Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East and Europe."

You mean to tell me the McCain campaign, if not John himself, is a bald faced politician liar?!!! Why,.... why,.... you unAmurkan librul baby killer.

While a large percentage of this country is still struggling for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness the struggle for truth is becoming less dificult these days.

After all, how stupid do you have to be?!

Hypocrites!

Busboy · 1 year ago

Unrelated coincidences?? Seems they pop up more in politics than anywhere else.
So, Karol, Obama is becoming more of a commander in chief lately; possibly with his hammer in his left and the Bible in his right.
Do we have a monster being created here?

Patriot · 1 year ago

What do people in power do to people they are afarid of? It depends on what monster you are afraid of..

jr · 1 year ago

both ways McCain hard at work

An_American_Karol · 1 year ago

Busboy, he can't be worse than the monster we have now or the monster McSame.

Do we want the "gym rat" with the wisdom of a 9mm kurz; or the grandpa with incipient "oldtimer's"

Busboy · 1 year ago

I'm thinking that the next 4 years is a good time to forget politics; visit a lot of sidewalk cafe's; drink some local brew and vintage'; and, just hang with your friends until it's over...

Shut out from responding to MSNBC on this, and other, issue tonight. Some sort of conflict with IE as always. Its good to be king, I guess.

Phil Gramm has not paid the price for anything. He and his wife have stolen their way to mega riches through Enron and UBS and have insulted the American people all along the way. The only sure cure for neocon kleptomania is a liberal dose of Democratic dominance at all levels of government.

good. keep Gramm. see where that gets ya, gramps.

Forbes didn't say Gramm mis-spoke, he said Gramm "said something you're not supposed to say these days." Forbes's implication was that Gramm's comments were essentially correct, that things aren't as bad as we "whiners" like to think they are. Both ends of that contention are specious. Every important economic index shows that our troubles ARE real. And as for what "you're not supposed to say these days": two things. We -- including the media -- have been buying into just about every phony pep talk that's come from the powers that be. And what about "THOSE days," when Jimmy Carter talked about the need for Americans to take difficult steps like energy conservation to cure the country's "malaise"? Boy, it turned out that no one could say something like THAT and survive politically, truth be damned.

Could have told you that the second it was announced. Phil Gramm will never be gone.
