I Was Just Listening To Right-Wing Radio Discussing The Bailout Talks

[THUNDER HANDS]

WABC in New York, because that's the only thing I can get in my car (has a really bad antenna - Nissan Sentra). As I was listening, the host (I can't remember his name, John something) had on a Republican house member who was in on the negotiations - Thaddeus something - and he was furious about the bill. He actually, and I'm quoting verbatum, referred to Democrats in the negotiations as "the enemy" and said Republicans were going to lose this issue politically if they went along with it, and that's why they've got to stand in opposition to it, in addition to a whole lot of nonsense about socialism yadda yadda yadda.

The whole "enemy" thing was interesting to me though. If that's how Republicans are approaching negotiations, it's going to be real interesting on the house floor tomorrow.

1. That was some scary bs Thaddeus was speaking. See how they are

the mother fucking republicans DID this and now the dems are the enemy. Excuse my language but fuck them.:wtf:

2. Republicans have made the Congress a laughingstock.....

... that's how they have given the president such power. What a bunch of @-holes.

5. The good news is that Obama will have the same

power and will use it wisely.

7. Thank goodness! GOBAMA! I love the man. nt

8. I think it's more like a tragedy

than a laughing stock.

3. The Democratic party members who are working to prevent the fiscal meltdown brought about by Republ

beliefs, policies and governance are "The enemy"?
Is there any way we can let their side of the ship sink?

4. The RepubliCons are furious

because the Democrats are refusing to allow them to pretend this is a Democratic bill. There won't be a bill if the pukes don't support it, they know it and that pisses them off. Even if you hate this bill you've got to love the way the assholes in the minority are painted so well into a corner.

6. The memo came out last week to make this a dem problem so they

can use it against them in the elections anyone remember that. They are just doing what they were told, someone needs to bring this up and make it more public and keep hammering it so they can be seen for the slime they are!

9. that's how republicans approach everything, especially elections. we are the enemy.
