Ouch! Ilana, you take better care of yourself. What would we do without you?

Bush deserves his share of the blame, and it’s true that the Kurtz NRO piece doesn’t mention him at all. That might have been motivated by a recognition that Bush was already past history rather than by partisanship. Kurtz does, however, mention the crucial role of Barack Obama in creating the housing bubble. If more people had paid attention, Obama might not have become president.

You’ll probably respond that McCain would be no better, but we’ll never really know, will we? We can be certain that Obama will transform America into a third world cesspool given enough time in office. Sometime during Obama’s fourth or fifth term, most of us will remember our last white president more fondly than not.

If your referencing my 2nd link

http://bachmann.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=130885

It has a ph # and the persons in her DC office to talk to.

Contact: Debbee Keller or Dave Dziok 202-225-2331

I have called her office and they answered my ? and I am in Ca.

I wish more peeps would make more personal contact (phone or in person) with all the Reps from local to national, I think it is a more effective means of communication to make your views known ,than sending emails on these dingbat puters. LOLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, MP, your comedy writing is pretty darn good also.

From “Beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes all the way to the bone” I infer that we at least have a chance with “Beauty”.

Still, one must admit that ugly politicians are one way to keep the population from paying attention to what they are doing. Surely, one proof that Ron Paul is a saint is that he can deal with Barney Frank without puking.

That ACORN managed to make money while destroying our economy is hardly surprising. If leftist do-gooders couldn’t use government to extort money for themselves, there’d be a whole lot fewer leftist do-gooders.

Of course, the exploitation of the CRA for the personal gain of ACORN activists is the least of our worries. Our most serious problem is that the leftist idiots now running the country have learned nothing from the recent economic meltdown. I fear that most of America’s voters expect government to give them all the good things in life and shrug when asked who’s going to pay for it all. So I doubt that our present “leadership” will be voted out any time soon. Our situation can only become worse.

The media rarely does stories about parents who raise their kids or well- paid government contractors who do their jobs.

She’s dynamite and a breath of fresh air coming out of that fetid, reptile infested, swamp known as Washington DC. However, if I wasn’t sure about her all I would have to do would be to look at the slimeballs of the left who are attacking and demonizing her to realize she is the real thing.

[She’s easy on the eye too.]

Please enter your zip code below for verification” – but I would like to know whether Michele is just a cute-looking “less-bad” Congressman or actually one of those rare “good guys” like Ron Paul.

From the 5/29/08 Stanely Kurtz, ACORN was quite active even while the Republicans ran Congress and the White House. But the big question for me is not whether Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gives money to ACORN as much as whether there should even BE a HUD – even if HUD gave out money to Mother Theresa.

Personally, I’d just as soon see my taxpayer dollars funding American hookers and strippers than padding Hamid Karzai’s Swiss bank account. I’d enjoy a lapdance far more than watching a Reaper drone striking some Pushtun’s mud hut.

The Fed is a true acorn, an acorn of corruption. “Flower” is a more appropriate name for “ACORN”. Let those who support the Fed take a deep whiff of the “fragrance.”

I’ll say it again, the Fed has corrupted all aspects of American society.

Long ago, some people took this to heart and perverted it:

Men prepare a meal for enjoyment, and wine makes life merry, and money is the answer to everything. Ecclesiastes 10:19

Now if we could only get someone named ‘Turner’ to join up ….
