Democrats will cave and hand 700 + Billion to Paulson
Edited on Tue Sep-23-08 06:43 PM by blueinindiana
If history is any indicator the Democrats will cave and promise to fix the problems in the future and once this blows over forget about it just like they promised to end the Iraq war.

i really do not know what is worse Republicans or the Cowards / Dino's of the Democratic Party.

Being cowards is the reason the Democratic Party is such a joke.



I know you have to pick and choose your battle but they desert before the battle even begins.

1. Well you forgot that Reid will send a "strongly worded memo"
I swear He and Pelosi suck wang so much that it isnt even funny, when Rookie John Tester asks the hardest questions, you know your leadership is crapola. Oh wait sorry actually Richard Shelby (former Dem) sounded like a damn voice a reason.

2. That is why Cheney made a little trip to the hill today
Issue the threats, Congress will roll over and the scam will be on.

4. I believe it was out there last week that they were going to let it expire.
The Dem's don't expect any companies to drill, given the cost and such. At least that's what they said last week.

5. I agree and your right...I took that part out of my rant now.
The Off shore drill thing was a losing bet for the Democrats so let it lapse and have one less ting the pukes can biotech about.

6. See the Bitchslap Theory:
I explained it in my last thread:

I think I know what Rove's October Surprise is

The entire bailout circus is a Rovian trap, designed to drive the Democratic Party towards a cave. If our Democratic Congresscritters were smart, they'd allow the Bushies to have a smaller amount of money, as a temporary shot in the arm for the economy, and delay the discussion of a bailout until after the election. Either that, or they'd object to all the various problems with the bailout bill as loudly as possible, using surrogates on the talk show circuit, attack ads, big Obama stump speeches, etc. - make sure our pushback on the bill cannot be ignored.

8. I think it's far more sinister than that--threats to family, etc. have probably
been used for years now. No, I'm not joking.
