Couldn't possibly be that the only thing they know about money is how to buy votes with it and fatten up their friend's pockets could it ?

Re: When the going gets tough, the tough get going
The Republicans ran us into this crisis, and even after they were voted out of power those remaining purposely paralyzed any attempt to stave off disaster. They would rather ruin the country utterly than give up their stupid, failed ideology. I know what to do
THROW THE BASTARDS OUT

Basically, it says that, whether they're in power or not, they're ineffective. So why do idiot libs keep voting for people who have a proven track record of being able to accomplish absolute dick?

Re: When the going gets tough, the tough get going
I'd actually rather have the Congress admit when it doesn't know what to do. The alternative would be to rush through some ill-considered legislation in the next week - and who knows what sort of CF program we'd get out of that.

Perhaps if they hung around, they could get themselves educated and perhaps learn what to do. But that sounds hard and not the least bit fun so its off ya go ! Time to fundraise and try and protect their phoney boloney jobs.

Economy In A Mess And Congress Plans On Getting Out Of Washington While They Can
We're supposed to be in the middle of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. And what is Congress getting ready to do?
Get the hell out of Washington. Like rats leaving a sinking ship Congress is going on recess. I think this is a good thing but don't you think they should at least stick around and try to solves some of the problems they caused rather then leave when things start to get tough. Quote:

Re: Economy In A Mess And Congress Plans On Getting Out Of Washington While They Can
Maybe, was watching C-Span today though (I'm sure you, mudwistle, wish it didn't exist--waste of taxpayer money and all), and was under the impression the Senate at least expected to not take a break this year. At least they were hinting on the floor, the Senate would keep running all year long. The House on the other hand...

So, Mud, you'd prefer that Congress be more active?
Is that what you're saying?

It doesn't do us any good if the House is in recess. Personally I think they should shut the hell up and go home because they aren't doing any good in Washington. I guess putting the Dems in charge of Congress wasn't such a good idea after all. Everything they touch goes bankrupt.

The partisanship in Washington is the primary cause of a lack of confidence in government.
Bush tried to work with Congress and every time he reached across the isle he got his hand slapped.
