shorebaby,

Now I'm not a real republican just because I refuse to agree with your stupidity?

listen, yes. I discriminate. I discriminate, despise & I am always embarassed when I hear uneducated people who call themselves a republican. We have two classes within the party. You have the Chris Christies, Christie Whitman, Tom Keans versus the high school educated broke, penniless, followers who makes Limbaugh rich.

You are a disgrace.

Being ignorant is not a crime. But remaining one is.

I expect your crap in places like Alabama, Mississipi, rural Ohio. But here in New Jersey ???

Shorebaby,
By the way, would you like me to link Conservative Economist after Conservative Economist who have directly blamed the Bush Administration for this mess ?

Instead of your crap that you link from crap.

Get an education. Even a two year Associates degree. You really need it.

Bush came into office with a 2 trillion surplus, but who make a good point.

basic root of the problem was that in the early to mid 90s the rules were changed Fannie/Freddie to buy Subprime mortgages packaged into securities (millions of dollars of debt grouped together and sold). The government started adding incentives for banks to issue the sub-prime mortgages.

Sub-Prime mortgages ended up becoming more popular then traditional mortgages, default rates rose, banks were unable to sell mortgage backed securities. Then after Lehman Bros crashed, everyone got nervous of any kind of securities at all. Caused a domino affect throughout everything because credit became so restricted.

It was a problem that was brewing for 15 years before the crash happened... To blame it on any one person or political party is just stupid. Plenty of blame to go around.


There are 2 main areas where i disagree with the way things are currently being handled. The first is not getting this healthcare thing done. They need to act on it immediately. Businesses are scared of hiring new employees because no one has any idea of what healthcare reform will actually consist of and what kind of premiums it might cost them... Secondly they need to clarify what the "stress test" consists of. They are hanging this "stress test" over the banks heads but not defining what is neccessary to pass. so money is not being lent because banks fear failing...

If you did not vote for Bush- I emphatize with you. I feel for you.

If you voted for Bush- PLEASE- Do Not blame me. Do not blame us.

We told you so!!!!

don't worry, there are about 16 million republicans across the united states who have LOST their jobs & actually voted for Bush.

In the words of Obama: "He's a jackass."

So this post is cool, but people on here have heart attacks when someone dare says they don't want to move in next to Indians making smelly food? Ugh, blue state life sucks.

Proud republican, yes. Partisan republican, okay.

This is why you want your children to get a college education. This is a perfect example of what can happen.
But being a stupid Jerseyan- NO !

Ummm Bush isn't President.

I think you are exposing yourself for what you are. A person who is bereft of a coherent argument who resorts to ad hominem attacks. Pathetic.

Umm please point out where the data is wrong. This is another favored tactic of the intellectually weak. Try to disparage the source, and ignore the facts. More pathetic ranting.

Also note another fascinating aspect of these types of arguments. The implication that if a source more to the posters liking were presented that would be persuasive. LOL. This chart has been reproduced far and wide by sources left and right. But our intellectually lazy friend has not, and I suspect, will not make an effort to find it.

Again folks please note the ad hominem nature of the attacks of these folks. It is fascinating to note they somehow believe the liberal line owns some kind of intellectual dominance yet they can't string together a coherent argument. I invite everyone to review the rant by our learned friend and let's play a game. Let's Identify an actual argument. So sad.

But this is what the Dems have come to rely on folks who are brainwashed to tow the party line. This can be the only explanation as to why the state votes repeatedly for Dems even as they drive the state into the ground. Now that some how proves the intellectual superiority of our state. LOL.
