1. King " President Obama LOST 47% of the vote.." WTF??

Good lord you can't have any clearer example of immediate revision of history

at the end Blackburn and King talked amongst themselves as Frank made yet another salient point... they didn't need to hear it I guess.

The bit about Fannie and Freddie is funny, sad-in how it has been spun, but still funny--- WE WANTED TO!!!! :cry:

11. I know, I nearly jumped out of my seat when I hear that...

...it is so unbelievably blatant.

He is just unable to say "President Obama won 53% of the vote" and leave it at that.

What an ass.

Of course, he tried to derail Barney Frank when he was nailing the biddy about her statement that she and her Republic colleagues had "wanted to regulate Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae". Barney blasted her with both barrels, asking her why, when they had clear majorities in the House and Senate, they were "unable" to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? And he also mentioned that he pushed through regulation of those organization within 3 months of the Democrats taking back the House.

Mr. King worked hard to cut that little diatribe short.

Oh well, Barney got the better of it. But Blackburn is a sleazy little slimeball, that's for sure.

2. Blackburn comes right out with their basic fallacy

that if you support business, customers will magically appear.

Even if small businesses get a boost (more debt, actually), they won't hire anybody until they have customers coming through the door, and that means a JOBS program, not cheap loans to the businesses.

Remember, Marsha, no rich man ever handed out a job unless there were a bunch of poor men with money in their pockets waiting to buy what it produces.

4. thats exactly

the point i've been trying to make....tax cuts to businesses do not create jobs....demand creates jobs.

3. Blackburn reminds me of a pretentous Southern sorority girl

Am I the only one?

7. Funny you say that. She is a pretentious Southern sorority girl. She's one of our

right-wing Republicans here in East Tennessee.

Oh, and she's also "dumb as a box of rocks."

[bjnumb9]

10. I'm in her district

And she caters to all of your standard red meat conservatives around here. Her campaign ad featured her at the shooting range.

She sucks. Big time.

8. Nope. I watched her appearances before the vote and thought

probably the same sorority as Nancy Pppfffoot.

5. Barney...

... rocks. :)

6. God, facts hurt the repug-spin.

If nothing else, they are the party of "catch all phrases". I won't go into the list, as I'm sure you know what they are, but when are the American public going to see this shell game for what it is??

They have these quick little bites of nonsense that have NO meat to them. "We wanted to pass.." Uh, Barney has it right....WTF didn't you? You did NOTHING to regulate Wall Street or the banks....nada.

I'm with Kerry on this one. If they want to be part of the solution, fine. If they don't want to be a part...F*CK THEM!!

9. Have you noticed that the person who has the answers is

always shut off. Marsha Blackburn is a dope. I hate republicans they stand for nothing but obstruction. Obama should tell them nicely to shove off. He is giving them enough rope to hang themselves. Bitch Blasckburn needs a good slap across the face,

12. i didn't realize that john king is that biased. eom
