You're right it's not often polite speech. Shouldn't we try to rise above that though? For the good of the nation, shouldn't we drop the rhetoric? Even you, who do not know who you are talking to bring up gulags and think that I'm "leftist". This is the problem: when brought out for civil conversation, the far right resorts to hyperbole. Maybe I'm just old fashioned but, when did we lose all sense of decorum and political savvy? Please answer my question in my previous post.
You are wrong. Political discourse is very often not polite speech and the first amendment to the constitution was created to protect it. Polite speech needs no protection. You have revealed your political leanings by your opinions. Leftist are constantly trying to control and stifle debate and when they dont get their way you will find yourself in a gulag.
Correct me if I'm wrong in that a Town Hall Meeting is about opening civil discourse with an elected official.
What has been happening in the Town Hall Meetings has been anything but civil. Why is it so hard to ask a question with out accusing some one of adopting "Nazi policy"?
ive only seen and heard of leftist type ceos of fannie and freddie and democrat politicians being payed, bought by f and f although theres obviously alot of 'moderate' repubs. id still rather vote for them than dems since some sanitys better than none.
So first, when you talk about this legislation, it's not the cure-all you suggest it may have been; the focus then was on corruption in Fannie and Freddie, which isn't really what the financial crisis is about. Democrats may have opposed it, but it didn't appear to have all that many champions in a Republican-controlled Senate, either. And last, if you look back in time, Democrats and Republicans supported an easing of lending standards in the late 1990s.
I HATE YOU !!!! YOU FAT LIAR!!! STOP PITTING ON ME WHEN YOU TALK!!!! YOU FAT LIAR!!!! FAT FAT FAT LIAR LIAR LIAR!!!!

Now you are just parsing the situation to come up with an excuse. It only shows your lack of understanding of what a Town Hall Meeting is all about.

in my opinion its a fact.

So, you are basing all of this not on fact and precedence but, on opinion.

So for you to lay Fannie and Freddie woes entirely at the feet of the Democrats is unfair and biased.
