Well we're hearing a lot from certain republicans now. All jockying for a possible 2012 presidential race.
For instance Senator Eric Cantor (Va) who has his political "problems." Anti union videos with lovely language... wife an official in a bank that got stimulus money... but hey they're better than democrats right?
Or Bobby Jindal from Louisiana who we are seeing way too much of as of late. Everyone's "testing the 2012 waters" apparently. Jindal wants to turn down money from the stimulus. I wonder how his state constituents feel about that. They got a bit of a raw deal from the republicans (Bush) after Katrina. How much of it is principle and how much is grandstanding for name recognition? Let's not forget Sarah Palin either.
Meet The Press this past weekend had both Charlie Crist (Fla) and Bobby Jindal on (separately) talking about the stimulus.
I find it hard to listen to Mr. Jindal because he starts out slower and works into warp speed talking.
Slow down, cut back on coffee or what ever it is that makes you talk faster as you go. Doesn't sound as thoughtful as it would if you slowed down a bit. Were you nervous or mostly annoyed? I'm not sure but I saw you a few times today on tv and you talked almost as fast there too. Has an interesting set to his face when he thinks he's being pushed and answers with about as little accuracy as most politicians.
Arnold Schwarzenegger (Republican Gov. of CA) is getting a lot of harsh criticism from his own party because he wants to work with Obama and wants to do what's best for his state as governer. He is behind the stimulus package. Which is nice since I'm pretty sure that at least he isn't making a run for the 2012 republican presidential candidacy.
Now the three republicans that voted for the stimulus package in senate are now referred to as "so-called republicans" I guess there's no getting along if you don't tow the party line anywhere these days... to hell with those constituents!
This is going to be a very odd 4 years. We have the economy to worry about (including the global economy).
We have recession/depression and job losses to worry about.
And throughout it all, we'll have to listen the whole next four years to back and forth political
Not even based in facts half the time.
Say something enough times over and over repetitively with finger pointing indignation and it's magically true???
These people couldn't come up with bipartisanship if it was ordered by God.
Still talking about those "glorious" Reagan years (demagoguery) and glorifying them: trickle down didn't work, the only stuff that trickled down was what wasn't taken by the top. I think we can clearly see that now yes?
"Just say 'no'" Nancy's answer to the drug problem isn't an answer to the republican party for fixing our country either.
You have to deal with people not just the outcomes.
Unfettered, unrestricted extreme capitalism doesn't work for anyone especially the working classes that struggle to make a living. Our representatives for the most part don't always do what is best for us or the country, they do what's best for them (and often their pals).
Madoff shouldn't have happened: think about it. Really think about it. And then think some more...
Eight years and nothing.
The truth about our political and financial systems is becoming more and more apparent every day.
Starting to wonder about our food supply? I am.
But then what does the FDA have for inspectors now anyway, like three?
Amazing.
G'night,
