I think we should make a T-shirt -- The economy needs some "Shaken and Some Fixin, Guys and Gals,"

Can someone explain to me -- Like I'm a five-year-old in Alaska, What did we do to deserve this?

[OpusIsUnderTheBed]

Explain this? I cannot.

[ohnoyoudidnot!]

Karma's a b*t$h, isn't it?

Collectively, we keep voting these bastards into office because they tell us they are going to bring back good old fashioned values and TAX CUTS!! For whatever reason, we give these people power and let them fleece us and then we re-elect them.

Let's hope we stop that bad habit this November!

Geez. McCain should have picked Romney. Then, there would be some brains in that party. I am scared, they may get elected. It's depressing. I'm sitting here, bald, with cancer and mask (for infection) and my 401K is going down the toilet. I guess the upside to this: Considering my short life-span, I may not need it. I wish I could campaign, but I can't do that...so I guess I'll donate another $100 to Obama's campaign. A McCain/Palin win will take me on out.

[Adrienne Williams - Huffpost Blogger]

Donating is your way, and Obama appreciates it! Keep your head up, we will make it to the finish line. Hope is a powerful tool. Along with volunteers, donations and fighting!

I'm fighting the good fight. The police even came to my door. My neighbor sent them after we talked and I asked...hey, why the Another Democrat For McCain...sign?" She listen the typical bull.. He is a terrorist, not patriotic, not a true citizen...etc. He's black. I was like, hey, you are racist. So, I told the officers..."Hey, you wasted my time, your time, and city money coming to my door, just because SHE said she does not want to talk with me? As long as we have freedom of speech, I shall exercise it. Here's a few bucks, get some donuts and coffee. Bye officers.

[Diogenis]

Hang in there.......Obama/Biden 08

[JeremyO]

Usual Republican spin: It's Congress' fault for this mess. Fact: Republicans held majority in Congress since 1994, remeber the Republican "Contract with America". Republican spin's response: It's the Democrats fault. Great comeback Republicans! I love it, keep it coming.

Is she really that dimwit? She is going to fix'hem like she does her moose? she wants to overhaul the regulatory system by deregulating private companies to get government helping them to progress? What the heck was she saying? Somebody ought to train her better.

[pie8ter]

" SOME FIXIN " , " SOME SHAKIN UP "

Lord Jesus...Help us! Show us mercy! I will donate some soup cans to local food bank.

[dadw5boys]

WE HAD REGULATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!

TILL REPUBLICANS GOT CONTROL !!!!!!!

[dadw5boys]

" SOME FIXIN " , " SOME SHAKIN UP "

OH YEAH GOT MY VOTE!

McCain has a very detailed plan to get our economy back on track, it involves patting ourselves on the back for being the most super great workers on the planet and then rolling up our sleeves and doing the great work we are capable of doing.

Funny, my mom had that same plan for me when I was in grade school...

[Fremon]

Dr. Peter Navarro, Univ Cal, economist said reading Obama's campaign comments on economics reads like a doctoral disscertation in its detail. The McCain comments on the internet contrasted , he said, reads like a high school civics paper. The difference between brains and abilitiy vs. the mediocre (which I think America craves). Can't we elect someone smarter than ourselves or a guy we want to have a beer with?

[Bitsko]

My only problem with the Stewart show has been their use of quick sound bites. A lot of the time if you watch his clips you'd think the person shown wasn't saying much of anything, but if you watch the full speech that person is saying quite a lot. It's all pretty subjective, even for a very funny comedy show.

[DueTruthinesss]

I watched the full statements. Trust me, he showed it all.

[jazzdad51]

hahahahahaha....so true.

[OldKnute]

SOOOOO??

What we need now is a Team that is going to FIGHT for us?

McCain-iacs and Palin Puppies?

Umm? Fight with Republicans? Fight Congress? Fight Wall Street? Fight with Democrats? Fight with the Senate? Fight to bring down the Alphabet Soup, as McCain calls it? Fight to bring MORE Regulation? Fight against Regulation? Fight the Banks? Fight the PEOPLE?

Oh,,,, But McCain??? Would that include the FTC, The FDIC,, The FRB,,, The FDA,, The EEOC, The NLRB and the FCC need to go????

Sooo let"s see,,, Trade should go wild, depositors will loose their money, our economy will be turned over to the Money Changers, our FOOD go un-inspected or monitored, the FEDS will just print more money and inflation will run wild, Slavery seemed to work before,,, maybe it will again, and Rupert Murdock will own every Publication, Newspaper, Radio and TV station he can BUY?????

Oh YEA!

You wanted to see what these folks are up too????

HOW ABOUT LISTENING TO THEM?

By their own MOUTHS!


THEY tell you,,,,,, NOT ME! All you need do is LISTEN. It is a wonder they have not hired a Bulldozer to dig up FDRs body and BURN IT!

Gawd what HATE,,, Generations of LIES, FEAR AND HATE.

OMG!!!! How can any people HATE this long?

???????? 4 Generations of HATE!

All the best

Knute Neo-LIB < ----- Healing America,,,, One call at a time.

It's an odd typing cadence, that's all I can say.

1938:
Judy Garland: "Gee, Andy, how we will get out of this mess?"
Mickey Rooney (portraying Andy Hardy): "I know! We'll put on a show!"

2008:
Sarah Palin: "Gee, Senator, how can we get people to believe we know anything about fixing this economic mess?"
John McCain (portraying serious presidential candidate): "I know! I'll appoint a commission!"

[Bitsko]

McCain: Why don't we put on a show?

0bama: The barn's burnt down, John.

[almoguy]

Now thats funny!

[carbar]

Its a dad gum shame the American public has to rely on Comedians and Ladies of The View for our "real" political process, our economic crisis, etc.

America's going to hell in a hand basket, and all we can do is sit and watch!

[marymansour]

bingo!

[jgf654]

NO. Get off your butt and go volunteer. Stop being a victim carbar.

[Bitsko]

Amen to that.

[BarryChamplain]

IT WON'T HELP.

The "democratic system"... citizens hear different positions on governing, and make informed decisions... is now unworkable.

Information does not come, three to six months later, via Pony Express, anymore. It comes instantly, via corporate-owned mass media, which tells exactly the story it wants the lumpen to hear. You want facts, truth, and rational explanations for what's going on... you have to go looking for it.

In the Entertainment State, only a technical minority are motivated to do so.

The country has grown to have too many people, and they are balkanized thusly; fact-finders vs. passive recipients. The only way that the millions of Americans who are outraged at what the Republicans and Bush have done to America can free themselves from the yoke of The Stupids, is to convince The Stupids that we truly are such libertine, Godless swine... that they really ought to secede again.

Perhaps they could call their new country "The Confederate States Of America".

And this time... we wish them well.
