  1. Two Democrats act like children on the floor of the House…

    Liberal corruption/bribery is trumped by conservative infidelity…which hurts the public trust more?

    Corruption of the past eight years is the problem faced by the current president.

    Would you like to address that?

    Or do you want to continue to blame the Democrats for everything when your party did all the damages?

    Slow down, little one…

    Gross mismanagement is a bit different than corruption.

    Taking bribes…that’s corruption…

    Would you like to address that?

    Or do YOU want to blame the Republicans for everything when BOTH parties did all the damages?

  2. Before you get too excited about “cap and trade” legislation, you probably ought to check out the new edition of Rolling Stone for Matt Taibbi’s latest article.

    The article is already available here:

    http://www.scribd.com/doc/16763183/TaibbiGoldmanSachs

    Goldman Sachs is in the middle of the emissions trading scheme, just as they seem to be in the middle of nearly everything these days. I read something last year GS was in the middle of creating the Chicago trading floor for this stuff but Taibbi’s is the first thorough explanation of their involvement I’ve read.

    A simple energy tax should be a better idea than “cap and trade”. Put a $1/gal tax on gasoline and planting a lot of new trees wouldn’t be a bad idea either. The big winner in “cap and trade” seems to be the middle men … like Goldman Sachs.

    I’m a big Obama fan and I thank God everyday Bush2 is finally retired. But sometimes, it seems like O is being played like a fiddle by Wall Street and our so-called elite … and I worry.

  3. Ah, another Southern redneck caller. The accent is sort of the give away. It always is.

    Calling from the carport next to his trailer somewhere in rural Tennessee. Sitting in his underwear in a lawnchair, sipping a beer and burnin’ ticks off his Redbone coonhound with a match.

    Why don’t any rednecks from Wisconsin or Minnesota ever call Colmes?

    So very eloquently stated…although overly disingenuous…

    Good job with the tv-educated mis-characterization…

    TV educated mis-characterization? Hardly. The characterization comes from up close, personal observation.

    What a colorful, inaccurate, bigoted, uneducated, ethnocentric, stereotypical, racial, assinie statement to make. You really out-did yourself on that one anony.

  4. “Cap and trade” is a tax.

    I can’t believe I’m agreeing with the scum-bag Republicans, but I am.

    We wander off in different directions after that though. I don’t have a problem with an energy tax as long as all the proceeds are returned to “us” as something for the public good. If this is only another scheme to make the Wall Streeters wealthier than they already are, something needs to change … fast.

    “I can’t believe I’m agreeing with the scum-bag Republicans, but I am.”

    You might be surprised how often, when people don’t give in to partisan-idiocy, this will happen on both sides.

    It goes to show that I’m on the right track talking about bipartisanship.

    Did I miss something here? YOU talking about bipartisanship? OH! This must be one of those “Do as I say, not as I do” moments…yes?
