Once Again Barbara Lee shows the way….She say, ‘No…’

to the ‘bailout’ proposed by the corrupt, rotten ‘leader$hip’ of the now twice damned Pelosi and ‘Sellout’ Reid as they, along with ‘The Magic Man’ stoop to do Leader Bush’s bidding.

Here is what she said today on the floor of what we now laughingly call, ‘The People’s House’.

Washington D.C.- Today (Sept. 29, 2008) Congresswoman Barbara Lee delivered the following statement on the House floor in opposition to the financial bailout bill considered today. The Congresswoman voted against the bill, which failed by a vote of 205-228.

“Thank you Madame Speaker and thank you Mr. Frank, the Chairman of the Financial Services Committee, for his efforts to improve the administration’s $700 billion blank check proposal.

“As a former member of the House Financial Services Committee for eight years, I can tell you that the situation we find ourselves in is the direct result of the deregulation happy, turn a blind- eye approach of this administration and its allies in Congress.

“Now we see the horrific price of these reckless deregulation policies.  More than 600,000 Americans have lost their jobs since January.  People need jobs to obtain credit and to pay their rent.   They need jobs to pay their mortgages or to put money in their 401k or retirement account.  Millions of people are living paycheck to paycheck, if they have a paycheck.

“Home foreclosures are skyrocketing, and home values are plunging, banks are failing and we are still spending more than $10 billion every month on a war in Iraq that should never have been waged.

“So there is no question that we are confronting an economic and financial crisis.

“But I’m convinced that this bailout plan is not the solution to this mess.

“First, it does little to address the underlying problem – the foreclosure crisis. We need a moratorium on foreclosures and bankruptcy reform to help people stay in their homes.

“Second, this bill should be paid for by the high-flying industry that created this problem.   $700 billion should not be given to Wall Street and the Bush Administration unless those who cause this mess pay for it. We should also prohibit the tax deductibility -and my bill the Income Equity Act  (HR 3876) would do this across the board -  of executive compensation in any company where the highest paid corporate officer is paid more than 25 the times the pay of a bailed-out company’s lowest-paid worker.

“And third, we need an economic stimulus package to deal with the crushing reality of the recession that is hitting people hard and growing every day.

“I cannot vote to reward those predatory and subprime lenders who are creating such havoc in the lives of millions of Americans.

“There is a better way.”

Yep and that way requires hard work, years of it which probably puts it beyond the reach of the Libertarian punks who think we have friends in the ‘Democrat’ Party. Who think Obama is about ‘change’.

We do have some friends in the party but Pelosi…multimillionaire Pelosi ain’t one of them.

I’m Back….

…still some thinking to do but nope I have not changed my opinion about.

Obama.

The ‘Democrat’ Party

Drinking Liberally…

So called ‘fellow progressives’

The real battle is about to begin and I intend to work so that it is not for the crumbs from our masters tables. The nation is on the brink of the abyss with few of talent or principle to lead us. Indeed the times call for a new paradigm.

One sans such ‘leaders’ as George W. Bush, Barrack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Harry Reid. And no we don’t need suc as Marko Moulitas, Chris Bowers, Jeralyn, Josh Marshall and the rest of the self-appointed, now discredited, ‘leaders’ of  Left Blogistan.

Look for changes here soon.

Wow! It’s been a while since I did this….

I wonder…can I still do it. Many have said that I am divisive, harsh and overly judgmental. But hey! Nobody is perfect least of all as it now appear obvious to even folks like Kid Oakland, malcontent, ‘BoneHead’ Bowers, Jeralyn and that fat guy who thinks he is Josh Marshall that slick talkin’ Barry and his dead white dude pals in the ‘Democrat’ Party are headed for a big bring down. Such a bummer dudes. Convention who hah still bouncin’ but McSame and Miss Piggy, as the ‘Boyz in the Blogz’ are attempting to name Governor Palin are out front by 10 points in a recent Gallup, winger’s I know I know, tracking poll.

10 points.

And that’s before folks find out about the entire story behind the ‘Bridge to NoWhere!’

I’ve said at least a hundred times but it still doesn’t sink in. Kid, Kos, Josh and you too Chris. Obamba is a perfectly lousy campaigner. If you are gonna try an pillory someone for something she didn’t even vote on you’d best be able to remember how YOU voted fool….

Barry the Clueless. How’s it feelin’ Howard, Donna, Miss Nancy. That’s your ‘boy’ out there and whoeeeeeee! Doan he look good.

Not.

Imagine this guy trying to run the country in the face of McConnel & Co. with HoJo stabbin’ him in the back every week jes for fun. While Miss Nancy and SellOut Reid are hangin’ on the telephone to George for further orders.

I’d be laughin’ if I wasn’t so sick to my gut over what the punk asses and morans of Web 1.0 have done to real progressive’s chanced to change things for the better in the near term.

In the long run folks like Heidi Li and riverdaughter and Angelachel, lotta ladies in that group, give promise that Web 2.0 won’t be knot of toads like we’ve got now. Squatting on their sites and proclaiming themselves all-knowing and all-seeing. Banning all and sundry who disagree with the LW, that’s Lefty Wisdom, never realizing that in the ’sphere you cannot shut anyone up. They just move down the URL and let you have it when you ain’t lookin’.

As always anyone disagrees with me show up in the comments and have at it.

Be warned, I’m in no good mood and apt to play rough.

Because….

Progressives Fight Back!

They do not pick corporatist scum for their Veep.
