Three Stooges running our government: You can prevent it

Add to that the very real possibly of having a 60/40 split in the Senate, allowing Dems to run rampant with whatever laws they please.

Vote people, plain and simple.

And you can help avert disaster.

 

Of course, when the Republicans owned the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Supreme Court, that was acceptable. Six years of controlling everything brought us an endless war, unprecended National Debt, international scorn, the worst financial crisis in almost a century, scandals, and Osama bin Ladin still runs free.

It's the American way. If you blow it, the voters will turn you out of office and give another party a chance to do better. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid may frighten you, but 4 more years of Republicans in charge frighten most of the rest of us. The thought of Sarah Palin in the office frightens the hell out of everybody.

 

Uhhhh, Osama bin Ladin wasn't in Iraq and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. You know this to be true.

Clinton ran surpluses and was paying down the debt before Republicans started added expensive new programs while irresponsibly cutting national revenues.

I'm taking about the foolish and mismanaged war in Iraq and you know it. It did nothing to combat Al Qaida terrorism.

Then why didn't it happen deacdes earlier when the CRA was institututed? I'll tell you why. Because in 2004 the Republicans removed the regulations that had previously allowed banks to make sub-prime loans but consistent with responsible lending practices. This whole crisis happened under republican leadership.

A wild-ass guess, of course. But the American Way allows us to throw out failed politicians and give the Democrats an actual chance to show us if they can do better. More of the same is simply stupid.

 

Granted. Clinton knew he had to cooperate with the republicans in the 90's. But he had nothing to do with the 2004 regulatory changes that precipitated the crisis.

 

Clinton signed it, but it was a Repubican Congress legislation. This particular misstep was a bipartisan one. The 2004 misstep was not.

We the citizens are all better off with bi-partisan legislation. It invests both sides in a decision forcing them to cooperate rather than evade each other.
