It's astounding how irresponsible the House is these days. Passed Trumpcare. House Intelligence committee hearings are a mess. Now this.

Even if your finances are ruined by a crooked banker it'll be okay with you because at least the Left is pissed? It's extremely difficult to retire on "the Left is pissed" funds for most people.

Hate to break it to you but this bill was passed by a Republican controlled House. So, tell me again why this is a liberal desire?

All this delight in imagining how upset liberals are with GOP shenanigans reminds me of boys who go around playgrounds trying to upset others, getting pleasure out of making younger kids cry, getting teachers to admonish them, etc.

No one asked the citizens the last time either. Instead they sent people in front of the TV cameras to say there will food riots on the streets if they don't bail out the banks. They will use the same fear-games again.

Its crazy to let the banks do what they want again.

Thomas Jefferson - "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

at best, your argument should be that he is biased based on his ideology, not party.


this portion of your post has the same problem as the first, but it is even worse so because the other power clearly said making the left mad is a plus.

That is partisan, and you are either defending it, or negating it because you would rather go after the OP for an opinion, that as of now, has not hint of partisanship.

You trying to defend that other post however, makes you look extremely partisan.
You did not rebut any of my points with any actual evidence of logic. You simply called me wrong, dismissed and then moved on.

This makes you partisan.

See, I can just call something as such and not use logic of evidence to defend it.

You go ahead and pat yourself on the back, though be careful I am sure it is a little sore.

He is a true partisan, and to a true partisan EVERYTHING is about the party, and whatever arguments they do not like, are labeled as "partisan' (of the opposite side). There is no reasoning with such people.
