Fred Barnes agrees with Gramm: we are whiners

[bucky468]

Somebody ought to blow up both Fred Barnes & Phil Gramm's houses. They are 2 peas in the same pod.

[SnakeWearingaVest]

First, Fred said there were WMDs in Iraq and no one should question it.

Then he said the economy was going to be just fine (a few months later, everything collapsed).

Why does this overpaid Boomer asshat still have a job on TV?

[jensen1901]

Fred Barnes was wrong. Phil Graham was wrong. When will people realize Fox News pundits are wrong ALL THE TIME.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

We need to put Phil Gramm, Fred Barnes & Bernie Madoff in one jail cell and let them suck each other off.

[gwangjuboy1]

@FranklyMisterShankly There's a decent chance statistically that one of them would enjoy it.

[Seastorm21]

No matter how much the republicans run the country in the ground they will say democrats ruined it for them or they didn't have enough time to let Bush's policies work. Retarded people simply aren't capable of saying they're retarded.

[huffgolf]

the reason there's record sales at wal mart is b/c no one can afford to go anywhere else morons.

[sliv812]

I wonder how much Phil Gramm paid off Fred Barnes? Oh, that's right...Gramm is already in bed with the entire Faux News Network.

[sliv812]

Fred Barnes...c**ks**ker of the right-wing nutjobs that have fucked up this country.

[munchen57]

I like to watch what Freddy does with his fly away hands. He can't control them and my cousin who works for Fox said that Freddy was told to, when his hands got to wild,stick them out of sight, under his arms.

[SnakeWearingaVest]

@munchen57 so that explains the bizarre arm crossing he does every five minutes

[Lane4411]

GRAMM IS DIRTY/MCCAIN AND INEPT FOOL

Texas S&L owner Jerry D. Stiles, who has been convicted of bank fraud in the S&L scandals, advanced $117,000 interest free for a construction crew that came from Texas to Maryland to build Gramm a vacation home. About the same time, Gramm ushered through a bill that allowed sick Texas S&L's (such as the ones Stiles owned) to stay open. He later urged regulators to give Stiles waivers -- even after they found irregularities that led to Stiles' conviction

[Lane4411]

Barnes is your typical NEOCON, NATION BUILDING, CHICKEN HAWK

Gramm's wife was employed by Enron!!!

Gramm was a lobbyist for UBS

$4 FOR GAS, MORTGAGE CRISIS, BANK FAILURES

GRAMM PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MORTGAGE CRISIS

This clown was a COLLEGE PROFESSOR, THEN IN CONGRESS.

NEVER MET A PAYROLL- ON THE GOVERNMENT NICKEL ALL OF HIS LIFE - UNTIL LOBBYING FOR UBS-LOSER

BUFFET INDICATED IN AUG. O7 THE US WAS HEADED FOR A RECESSION

GRAMM/MCCAIN ARE BOTH DIRTY

[cincinnatusnow]

Some are whining-the folks who had to cut down on going out as much and going on numerous vacations ect. maybe-BUT-the rest who are having a hard time keeping their homes or have lost their homes,can't afford the gas to get to work,have charged themselves into massive debt trying to keep up,and have not seen a raise in years but have seen inflation and losses-well they HAVE A RIGHT TO BITCH !!

[BrezhnevIsMyCoPilot]

Remember, if a Democrat says something like this, then it's "Elitist"

But if a Republican says it, then it's Maverick Straight Talk™

[leftysergeant]

I guess if you're a narrow-minded twit who derives most of his income from stocks in a company that used export crap but now imports it, these people complaining about their jobs going overseas do look like whiners. I will never forget the times that dumb little twit Gramm said "No poor person ever gave me a job" as a justification for giving tax cuts to the very people now sending our jobs away.

Schmucks.

[Graysonson]

Amazing! The right wingers plunge us into a global credit crisis (caused partly by Bush and his chums borrowing 3 trillian dollars to fight a war in Iraq) and then call us a bunch of "whiners" when we're upset that our incomes are falling as prices are rising.

"Oh, but sales are rising in Wal Mart and Costco," they tell us. Is it just me or is that a sign of how bad things have got? People who used to go somewhere more upmarket are now forced to save by shopping in Costco.

[Catzmaw]

Damn, now my 17 year old has to decide which guy is douchier, Bill Kristol or this clown Barnes. Decisions, decisions. Tell you one decision my older kids and I will be making come November. We're going to whine our way to the polling station and flush these rich twerps.

[kidaweb]

imagine if you worked hard enough in the right field to where you got rich.... who knows, maybe you wouldnt be so bitter towards those who did. what is your profession and what are you teaching your children to strive for? or are you a [just get by guy] ?

[PeaceIsOK]

People are shifting their buying habits, and making more purchases by bulk (Costco). But other retailers, and grocery stores are having a very hard time.

[SoINeedAName48]

Freddy Barnes is a PUTZ!

Whine?

Hell, I don't whine ... I VOTE!

Obama '08

[kidaweb]

your poor spelling and bandwagon mentality is an indication of why you are going for an inexperienced one hit wonder such as obama. he may be smooth.... but the face it rookie, the best of politicians are are...no change at all. people are head over heels for this guy like the were for the backsteet boys and then years later wonder what they were thinkin.

[radudeATL]

Fre Barnes (rather passionately) defends Gramm for calling us "a NATION of whiners" but has the nerve to rip Obama for admitting that there is a SEGMENT of the population that is bitter and cynical about the government? I h8 FOX.

[BeatBuddy]

Whiners? It's the cry babies who make the difference.

It's the wheel that squeaks that gets the grease. ---Benjamin Franklin

[MadScience]

He has the gumption to claim that Walmart and Costco record sales are signs of a good economy. What did he expect from those stimulus checks ? Every one knew that Walmart and Costco etc were going to get the most of those checks. Fred Barnes is another disinformation robot.

[bigtexansfan]

Are these fuckers for real? Some stupidity knows no bounds. But that's good, cause I know John McCain is ripping his hair out every time some rightwing fucktard open their mouths and bury him even further in the hole than he already is. People we're just whiners, gas isn't really over $4 a gallon, there's no foreclosure crisis, unemployment isn't rising, energy costs aren't on the rise, food costs aren't on at record highs, it's all a "mental recession" wake up and it'll all go away...NOT!

[jokojay]

Fred Barnes is a fucking HUGE douchebag. Every time I see him on Fox (which isn't too often because it makes me queasy) I marvel at the sheer scale of his assholery. Seriously, the guy is fucking worthless.

[petehjr1]

This from Phil Gramm that has gotten rich in part off the largess of the American People. Thats great. Keep talking right wing jackasses, this november is going to be a political grave yard your you all.

[mikedemet]

NEO CON = Always Wrong, Always. Fred Barnes looks like one of the republican airport restroom types...tap the toes and shut the f@ck up Fred!

[Omgitszztop]

He's right we're not in a recession.

We're in a DEPRESSION!

I love to see this asshole live on $32,000 a year ....and not bitch.... about gas prices,food prices,lack of decent paying jobs,and trillions of taxpayer dollars going towards a civil war in Iraq that we will NEVER control.

[Chipsnsoda]

AMEN TO THAT!!!

[smokeabowlus]

Who is taking these idiots seriously anymore? you are a failure.

[zymaymyn]

Here's what I have to say to Fred Barnes (pardon me if I sound like John McLaughlin):

WRONG!

[allencrider]

Oh, just wait! Those entitled millionaire conservatives like Fred Barnes are REALLY going to be whining when we hit them with a big fat tax increase in 2009. They can kiss my middle-class ass.

[talktal]

of course fox news would agree with gramm. were in the midst of a financial melt down with fannie mae and freddie mac about to go under, but things are dandy in the economy. these guys have
