[zelmasmotherman]

something special here?

[WMRRFAN6573]

And who questions these so called public servants on their actions, or their lack of actions?ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT.

@judyleasugar97 - You should really watch how you use the word traitor. Politicians are politicians. No politician is required to vote the way YOU want them to. That doesn't make them a traitor. It also doesn't absolve Nancy Pelosi of her guilt in the situation. Nancy could still be taking away committee memberships and imposing penalties on members that deviate to punish them. She has the power. She just doesn't use it. Just like she could have impeached Bush, but didn't.

[judyleasugar97]

@eiredrake: When politicians are elected BY THE PEOPLE to do what is best for the majority but instead vote in the interests of wealthy corporations they are TRAITORS, sorry.

[eiredrake]

@judyleasugar97 - That's nothing more than an excuse. Democrats are in the majority and are just as capable of shutting down the government as the Republicans are. For every bill the Republicans block, block two of theirs. Harry Reid could require actual filibusters with speeches but he doesn't. You can't keep blaming Republicans for the failure of Democrats to take the role of leadership the voters put them into.

[judyleasugar97]

@eiredrake: I blame the traitor Democrats, the blue dogs. They're in the pockets of the corporations. Other than the tea baggers I don't know who is trying to shut down the government.

[eiredrake]

@judyleasugar97 - yes, something. As opposed to nothing, which is what is being done now. Everybody is sitting around twiddling their thumbs while more and more oil seeps out to strip the gulf of mexico of life. If she had done enough to start with by impeaching Bush for violating federal law maybe this might not have happened. But at the very least she could be calling out those traitor dems and reps on every newscast.

[judyleasugar97]

@eiredrake: More would be done if the Republicans and traitor Democrats in Congress would get the hell out of the way. This country is not a plutocracy run by the wealthy! It's a Democracy, god damn it. Just how is Obama responsible for cleaning up BP's mess??? Since when is the federal govt a clean up woman for the oil corporations??? Those greedy bastards need to get off their butts and clean up after themselves, or at least pay through the nose for it.

[eiredrake]

Ok Nancy, you're the head of the House. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. No more whining about Republican obstructionism. No more excuses. No more floundering. I don't care if you have to take a flight to NOLA and swim out with a roll of paper towels and some windex.

DO SOMETHING.

[judyleasugar97]

@eiredrake: I would say Pelosi has done quite a lot already. But she can't force the Republicans or the traitor Democrats to vote differently. I really don't know what you're talking about, do something?

[gp4nut]

This guy is racist against British, calling it "British" petroleum and demanding "an apology to all Americans" as well as jibes about golden parachutes to England etc.. Its way too early to start apportioning blame, only an investigation can reveal what happened. US govt. needs to stop playing the "victim", we know you are already - remember Bhopal and the blocked extraditions? Makes this oil disaster look like nothing in comparison (I know it is still serious of course). Hypocrites!

[guyfroml]

What a dumb fuck Congressman Stupid is...I mean Stupak. First, he betrays the voters in his Congressional district over Obamacare - which is obviously the reason he's not running for re-election because he knows he can't win, then he betrays all America by not summoning Obama's representative at MMS who signed off and APPROVED the BP oil rig operating procedures permit earlier this year.

Stupid knows this will make Obama and Dems look bad, so he conveniently leaves them out of the hearing.

[KURTNDAWN]

not hard to tell all these guys are lawyers is it

[dkkght46]

What has improved? The Gulf event is a utter disaster. High unemployment that he guaranteed would not go above 8% and it is now 9.7% after 17 months. Even Obermann and Matthews on MSNBC slammed Odumbasss after the leaders sppech. You are a loon to believe it is bettter but maybe his destructive policies have not hit you in your empty vapid head yet.

[judyleasugar97]

@dkkght46: I said things are improving. They are improving, if slowly. Where would we have been under McCain??? Another great Depression. Obama and the Democratic congress avoided that. You've got your head up your ass.

[dkkght46]

@judyleasugar97 McCain is no prize either but McCain is not a Marxist. First you where an ecology expert and now your an economist. Your more like soap opera lady who does not have a clue. Obama & the Democratic congress have started and will cause the collapse of our economic system. Yet with your public school education I could not expect someone like you to comphrend this.

[judyleasugar97]

@dkkght46: I don't think you people know what communism really is. It's more about repression of free speech, having no due process of law. People are told what jobs to do. The wealthy should spend a few million to give their workers benefits, pensions. A living wage. That's not communism, that's morality. And by the way everyone would be better off. If there is a collapse THE REPUBLICANS CAUSED IT -- beginning with Reagan!

[dkkght46]

@judyleasugar97 Who said anything about communism? They are trying to repress free speech at least thats a start. The collapse is being caused by socialist like you who believe in a system that austerity and look how well austerity is working in Greece, Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal and the UK. Carter started it with his Obama Jr presidency. You are nothing but a stupid fucking cunt, really!

[judyleasugar97]

@dkkght46: God, every time I turn around Obama is being accused of being a communist. Why? Becaue he's trying to help the middle class. Just how is free speech being repressed? You've been brainwashed by Fox channel.

[dkkght46]

@judyleasugar97 Never said he was a communist but rather a naked Marxist and there is difference. Not much of a difference but there is. Help the middle class(?) well you have to love what Stenny Hoyer said today "middle class tax hikes needed to keep up with spending...hahaha-Obama spending, somuch for that help. You have been brainwashed by ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC & CNN. I watch fox news for the babes!!!!

[judyleasugar97]

@dkkght46: Your statement really has nothing to do with what I just said. I listen to Thom Hartmann and Stephanie Miller, they're the voice of sanity.

[dkkght46]

@judyleasugar97 Free speech repression-ever heard of the DISCLOSE ACT? Its being voted on tomorrow.

[judyleasugar97]

@dkkght46: How is it a repression of free speech? If anything it is making things more transparent.

[dkkght46]

@judyleasugar97 Did you read it like Oilbama read the oil response plan or the AZ immigration bill. Transparency my ass, nothing has been transparent about this administration.

[dkkght46]

@judyleasugar97 The entire system is collapsing. since 2008. Obama & the Dems are trying to pump it up with stimulus money and it’s not working. So, we’re going to see more unemployment. There’s no way that Obama & his cronies can keep the system afloat by just dumping more money into it. The debt levels keep rising.

[dkkght46]

@judyleasugar97 Economics 101: Deflationary Depression and Purging Will Come, and the only way they have been able to keep asset prices in things like stocks and real estate from falling through the floor is by slamming Trillions of dollars into it. And when the situations for millions of Americans becomes desperate, we can expect to see protests and riots. Hope & Change!!!!

[judyleasugar97]

@dkkght46: The only positive change would be if Obama and the congress truly take on the mantle of FDR. If you're speaking of the kind of change the tea baggers have in mind, I shudder to think.

[dkkght46]

Obama is a disgrace to this country...he hates America...he wants us to fail...and become socialists...He doesn't believe the Constitution...Capitalism...Le­vin is right...our nation will be destroyed Under Obama...economically, morally, spiritually, militarily, but he is too stupid to be the anti-christ...

[judyleasugar97]

@dkkght46: And yet things have improved under Obama. Curious. Could it be he's doing something right? Where does it say in the constitution we should let the wealthy rob the middle class blind???
