Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

I have absolutely zero expectation that the Consumer Watchdog Bureau will do anything to curb the ridiculous ass pounding that we get from our corporate slave masters, but it's a fantastic notion to have one in place and the obstruction and outright panic that it inspires in those who oppose it should be all the evidence that anyone needs that our politicians are not looking out for us in the slightest.

The truly interesting thing about this is the question about whether what Obama did here is legal, because the Republicans have been holding pro-forma sessions--one d-bag goes in and gavels in a session--and Obama is essentially saying by doing this that they aren't really in session and they can suck it.  We'll see what the courts say.

[Rome]

Well, one thing is for certain: they're looking out for some of us. 

[Geowhizzer]

Well, one thing is for certain: they're looking out for $ome of u$ .

Fixed.

if nothing else this should be a huge ploitical win for barry

if they play it right they can in a two month span paint the pubs in congress as anti tax cut and anti middle/lower class comsumer

40% of the people would vote against Obama if he cured cancer.  40% would vote for him if he banged a 10 year old on live tv.

We know this.

What's up for grabs is the swing vote and they already know congress is full of shtein.

not true....his approval ratings suck and he doesnt have near the following he did four years ago...if he did the race would already be over with what the right is throwing out there

Does anyone in here think the pubs have a chance here with this group? Seems to me there is some serious straw grabbing going on at this point with this party-way more than in years past.

There is only one person I think can take down Obama in a debate and that is Gingrich. I think the others get pummeled by him including Romney.

NAMBLA is bigger than I thought.

[Rome]

I meant bang a girl but it's nice to know where your head is on the subject.

[phattymatty]

no republicans would ever bang a girl.

No. We're in the exact opposite situation as we were in 2004 with Bush running against Kerry. No one was happy with Bush but the Left couldn't throw anything better than Kerry out there...so voters stuck with what they had. Romney wreaks of John Kerry and Obama's numbers are similar to Bush. He'll get another term but the election won't be the landslide it was last time.

[Rome]

I have a really awful feeling about this election.

If Romney or Newt get in there it's going to be beyond horrendous for working people and the poor.  People are going to vote against their own interests because they're incredibly stupid, but still, I don't think anyone who isn't filthy rich has any idea how badly they'd be screwing themselves by voting Pub.

Not that i really care, but....what ever happened to Palin, did someone put her in a rape basement? 

[Rome]

She's still busily whoring herself out to Fox and pretty much anyone else who will line her pockets with dough.
