The Republican Meltdown Continues!

This has to be the best example of the GOP running away from their own party, deflecting blame, and continuing to put their collective foot (or is it feet?) in their mouth.

Here's MSNBC's Chris Matthews trying his best to get a straight answer out of Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), over the economic holocaust occurring on Wall Street! A must see video that just gets better the longer it goes on (in other words, watch the whole thing)!

Chris Matthews' expressions of disbelief and disgust are just classic!

There is something here today for everyone. Serious. Bad. Funny. Mocking.

It's because Mayor Sam promised all of us bloggers a cruise to the Mexican Rivera if we picked up the pace a bit!

Take me on the cruise then. Crusing bloggers. Sounds like fun.

Wait until the election is over though. So what do you say, blogger cruise in late November? Back before Thanksgiving.

I concur, Joe B!

I've had an uncharacteristic slow day here, and there is just a blizzard of interesting thoughts (and, yes, some garbage) on the 'blog today.

Let's face it. If we all agreed, or weren't passionate about our positions, this would be very boring.

Some days, this place is an interesting park to visit and praddle

It must be a full moon, because my friend & I aren't usually this chummy in our posts.

Well, at least there's something to talk about right?

How about that? It is a "waning gibbous" moon, and 90% full.

It feels like it!

G'night.

What a noxious, smarmy, little twerp this Eric Cantor, Republican from Virginia is, unbelievable, when the shit is hitting the fan economically the Republican incumbent and President of the USA “Dubya” is hiding, and pulling another Katrina stunt as Chris Matthews says. Bush and McCain are sounding like Hoover during the beginning of the Great Depression.

“Herbert Hoover famously declared that the “fundamental business of the country” was sound.”

Then the great Democrat and savior of the USA and free enterprise system (not Monopoly Capitalism and the failed “Supply Side Economics” BS like we’ve suffered with for the last 30 years), FDR just happened to show up on the scene to give hope to the people.

“It also was a squarely relevant quote about Republicans from FDR:

“The present administration has either forgotten or it does not want to remember the infantry of our economic army. These unhappy times call for … plans … that build from the bottom up and not from the top down, that put their faith once more in the forgotten man at the bottom of the pyramid.”

Kind of sounds like Obama and definitely not McSame

Haikula,
Let's promise each other to never let that happen. We must do this for the sake of our readers and well, because it's more fun this way!

********************

I notice the shity content mostly comes Haikula snd Highy who post silly YouTube videos, or tell us about the people going crazy over Palin.

The funny thing is that Highby and Haikula are the ones posting comment after comment about the democrats being obsessed over Palin, as they continually post comments on stupid issues such as lipstick on a pig.

The thing I like is that the Republicans, whoever they may be, have put enough money together to save some of these businesses and ultimately some of these small countries.

It is obvious to me that DQ doesn't possess the intelligence to look up the history of the great financial panics (depressions) that hit this nation online. If he has the IQ of a turnip, many on the blog would be greatly surprised.

I did a little research hoping to dig up some dirt on one political party over another, and to my great surprise found that of the seven financial panics to hit the U.S., the presidents who were in office at the time were divided equally.

Here's the information (the Panic, the President's name, the political party he represented):

1819, Monroe, Republican.

1837, Jackson, Democrat.
1837, Van Buren, Democrat.

1857, Pierce, Democrat.
1857, Buchanan, Democrat.

1873, Grant, Republican.

1893, Harrison, Republican.
1893, Cleveland, Democrat.

1907, Roosevelt, Republican.

1929, Hoover, Republican.

Good job Higby. You've got a post with two know nothing bloggers tickling each other, Don Quackers hoping someone will listen and a botard spouting trivia from Wikipedia.

Dumbass.

How was Monroe a Republican when the party didn't come into being until the 1850's? Lincoln was the first Republican president.

9:13, I cite as my source the official biography of James Monroe (fifth paragraph) as entered in the History section of the U.S. White House web address, pasted in its entirety below:

"His ambition and energy, together with the backing of President Madison, made him the Republican choice for the Presidency in 1816. With little Federalist opposition, he easily won re-election in 1820."

Joe B.: Interesting you would cite Chris Matthews... the same Chris Matthews who was dismissed from his post.
