...yet on the wrong side of the political spectrum. It's not just reporters that break my heart like this...

Kate Walsh of Private Practice is campaigning for Obama as she said on Letterman.

They would probably hate me for not being a metrosexual.

Yet, their obvious slant is evident of the media elites.

...for the fact that 1 in 4 teen girls has an STD.

Hey! It could  be true. I did just as much background and fact-checking as she did!

Even went to CNN.

... is where liberal, Democrat policy is having it's impact ... where there is extensive debt, government hyper-regulation and over-taxation, and liberal Democrats in leadership positions in industry.

Do a study in the sectors of the economy that aren't doing well ... you're going to find liberals, Democrats, and fiscally unsound business leadership ... you're going to find DEMOCRAT fingerprints all over that industry.

And another point, wherever you have sound leadership in industry those segments of the economy are THRIVING ... and that's 90% of the economy.

Democrats are pro-tax, anti-business, anti-industry, pro-overregulation, pro-socialism, anti-wealth (which is what it takes to have a strong economy), anti-growth, anti-taxpayer, and quite frankly just plain anti-American ... THAT is the only problem with parts of the economy ... DEMOCRAT POLICY.

JAY CARNEY, TIME MAGAZINE: He has to make a high-profile speech about this crisis that says,"I can be a Republican who actually cares  [unlike the rest of  those heartless SOB's] about people that are
suffering  through this downturn and this crisis." And that will get
people's attention. I think it's now he's got the nomination it's not
too early to start remembering the middle. (emphasis added)

All I can say is WHERE'S MY FLIPPIN' DUCT TAPE!!!!!

In through the nose; out through the mouth.......

However, maybe the funniest part of his suggested speech is for McCain to say "I can be a Republican...."

Noel, there are three comments here are absolutely insulting to me. First, the Time magazine bigot saying that McCain can be "a Republican who actually cares about people", which implies that the rest of us do not. He then goes on to say to McCain "it's not too early to start remembering the middle", when it was President Bush who gave us the HUGE tax cuts which let everyone enjoy their prosperity, including the middle class.

The third comment "Republicans were running the show when we got into this mess", by Claire, is equally insulting. The Democrats have been in power of both the House and the Senate for the last fifteen months, and I do not believe it is a coincidence that the economy has been faltering in that same exact time. The most damaging of their power plays has been to stifle small business by raising the minimum wage to a point which sucks all of the profit out of their businesses. The economy was booming when the Democrats got their power back; it has just taken them a while to wreck it.

The lying by these media types has reached a level that makes their screeching in 2000 and 2004 seem mild by comparison.

Unfortunately, for the time being, it appears an unbridled financial services industry has been its own worst enemy.

This seems to be a common thread when industry is de-regulated, even in part. Illinois recently lifted a rate-freeze on utility companies, and the rates charged by private-industry ballooned, sometimes 2-300%. Once the utility companies realized how stupid they were being, they almost all dropped down to a level they could a) make a profit and b) maintain their systems.

Seems that when you deregulate something that's been regulated for so long, there's a moment of disbelief from the captains of that industry, and they choose to over-react. I believe something similar happened in CA with the electric companies, although I'm not much up on CA politics...

There really is a lot of inbreeding in Washington media circles...and all this inbreeding leads to increased ignorance cloaked as conventional wisdom.  Claire Shipman is the classic casting couch bimbo who rose through the ranks despite her limited intelligence.  Add that to the fact that they put her on an analysis segment with her equally deficient husband and it simply further illustrates how corrupt and out-of-touch ABC News is (and don't get me started on their hiring Clinton's chief mouthpiece as an "objective" host).  These people speak of the economy as if they were Glenda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz...simply tapping one's shoes and repeating the same phrase ad nauseum will make it so.  Instead of "there's no place like home", it's "Bush's economy is in recession, Bush's economy is in recession, Bush's economy is in recession..." 

"I am by no means pointing out this bill to blame our current financial
woes on Democrats. Instead, I wanted to illustrate how foolish and
disingenuous it is to blame it all on Republicans."

Don't blame the GOP, don't blame the Dems. Don't talk about it cuz then it might happen (recession).

Both parties have turned their back on the Constitution's limit of coining money. Since Congress turned over control of the money supply to the Fed in 1913 and charged it with "price stability" the dollar has lost 95% of its value in real terms.

And with 50 trillion dollars in future spending obligations there is another 95% drop in our future. Whose to blame? The libertarians for not being successful in electorial politics? Or all the real Americans who are more interested in getting something for nothing than in creating a sustainable moral society for their children and the generations that follow.

We cannot have a moral society while using immoral money. Ending the Fed returns power to the people in ways that force the evil doers to reign in their activities. 

I don't see how that's true as long as Uncle Sugar's in the morally-hazardous bailout business when executives do something really stupid. Maybe "the taxpayer's worst enemy" or "the dollar's worst enemy" fits this fact-pattern a bit better?

A corruption-story the TV media will-not cover.

You hit the nail right on its head dmntd1. I would ad the addendum about the part of the deregulation legislation that has to do with oversight. If you don’t provide for oversight you won’t get any. Now that’s a recurring theme with this administration

Those who fail to learn from History, are destined to repeat it.......
