Still voting for Obama are you? Here, have your quote right back at you:
This is why American politics continue to go down the drain. No one has the balls to vote in a way that actually helps the country. Instead they get served up to half assed options and will happily pick one of them and neither party cares that much if they lose as there's a 50/50 chance they'll win next time.
I'll admit the same thing. I was going to vote Democrat for the first time ever until that reversal went down (voted independant or republican before.) Sadly I wasn't being funny though. The rage on the FISA act was in a full storm, Obama voted for it, storm went away and now no one talks about it.
Advise everyone that wants to email you to use encryption. Fortunately, Thawte (Or xca/openssl for the cheap/lazy bastards) and gmail s/mime plugins for firefox actually make this relatively simple. If I get really bored I'll publish a flash video on this to make it easier for everyone, right now I just go to the homes of my friends and hijack their computers for 5 minutes to set this up.
>Yeah, but wasn't it one of those 2004 debates where Bush had that bulge from something under his jacket? Did anyone ever really find out what the heck that thing was?
Yes.
Remember, the democrats running were for gun control, so Bush was ready for them.
If they had pulled out a gun during the debate that said "Replica" on the side of it...
Bush would have pulled out a gun saying "Desert Eagle.50" on the side of it.
Because the fucking bailout is a loan, not a giveaway. We (the government, and the people that actually understand economics) want a return on our investment. If we just gave that money to the people, it would be the equivalent of starting up the paper presses now and skyrocketing inflation to the point that zimbabwe would look good in comparison to us.
And yes, I do expect this to happen within the next 4 years under Obama, and the introduction of a new currency will be done to fix it.
Don't forget to buy a wheelbarrow to cart all that cash around.
The US does not halt the messages and then jail its citizens for talking about its screwups. If it did, everyone hollering about the current financial crisis would be in jail right now and you wouldn't know about the crisis.
Which shows how little you know. Try a little analysis of the root cause rather than pointing at the later symptoms of the issue.
Hints:
Community Reinvestment Act, 1977 Acceleration of Act in 1995, massively increasing the speed at which the GSA's grew Refusal to regulate the GSAs after they reached critical mass Acceleration of loan acceptance system for these subprime loans (including lawsuits to allow the continued acceleration rather than oversight) Resultant housing price climbs
Your "Ponzi scheme" was just the banks attempting to shellgame the issue with the toxic loans developed by this process. It wasn't the process itself. Regulation could have fixed that, but Barney Frank thought Fannie May and Freddie Mac were doing just fine without any regulation. For those not keeping track of who's who, Barney Frank is the ranking democrat on the House Financial Services Committee. So get your learn on, stop towing to whichever party rhetoric your on, look at how we got here. Don't just point the finger at one small aspect of the problem and think you've found a smoking gun. That way lies bad conspiracy theories and false data.
I was referring to the US congress and the CRA, the fixation you are talking about is what brought us to our runaway train of death doom and destruction with the lack of regulation on the GSAs.
The economy, I do not think you realize just how big it is. Realize that we could end up triggering a global depression in the next couple months if the politicians in power right now fuck it up.
Bushism: "This sucker could go down."
This time he's right. We've had bank runs in H.K., U.K., Tokyo, the U.S.A., and a complete market shutdown in Russia. We managed to fuck up the world, and we managed it not through wars for oil or failure to legalize and tax certain things, but with the best intentions in the world, to make sure everyone could have a goddam house.
On the bright side, now that a deal has been made in Washington, we just might be able to hold of global total systemic economic failure.
But do us and everyone you know a favor: If you live in the USA, vote every current politician in your area out of office.
Republican, Democrat, or random, they all fucked up on this watch. Get some untainted blood into power, that at least for a short time, people might focus on doing the right thing rather than re-election.

He voted for the bailout as well.

I do not think you know what you are talking about. Executive privilege is used TO RESIST SEARCH WARRANTS. That is why it is used and when it is used.

Because she likes her email to be private? Or because she is hot and knows it?
Also, take a real close look at Biden before you make such a judgement about him caring for the country.

Me:"He broke his promise!"
Slashbot:"Stop trying to confuse the issue!"
Wow. Someone actually still knows the Constitution in this day and age! Will you please run for office?
She would not be the first or last governor to use it. So no, not stupid.
We stopped being angry about that when Obama voted for it.
Governers have executive privilege.
I also learned that the hacker found nothing but family photos and personal emails, leaked them to the media anyhow.
The Sarah Conner er, Palin chronicles continue next week, as the beauty queen takes on Obama!

How appropriate then that the last prize be awarded to Kobayashi as well, if that no-win scenario takes place.

Now run along, there's no pussy for you here.
Zeppelins don't fly. They float. With style.
Congrats, you have taken the first steps along a far greater path. May your moderations be moderate in their moderation of other moderations.
It is odd. Whenever goatse would actually be on topic, the goatse guy is never around. Psychological reverse trolling, perhaps?

It must be true! I read it on the internet!

Daleks might seem bad, but my company decided to invest in Quarian Geth for outsource coding. I'd take Daleks over how THAT fiasco turned out any day.

"but won't somebody think of the children?"
That is precisely the situation they are trying to stop.
Actually, it seems to be Intelligently Designed.
