We are now gaining well above 200K a month. How the hell someone would want to go back to that is beyond me.
hmm.... GOP policy that created CRA and lead to laws that forced banks to lend money to people who they knew wouldn't pay the loans back?




sorry my dear C-D friend, that wasn't GOP policy that caused the great recession.


PS Then community organizing prog-agressive lawyer Obama did in fact work very hard to hurt banks that baulked at lending money to people who couldn't pay those loans back.

Come on, there's a reason millions and millions in out of state money is spent on Senate elections in Delaware!

And then there's term limits and all liberals are against term limits which is why we keep re-electing Senators over and over and over again regardless of the job they do for the people of their state.

George Soros and the Koch Brothers are totally against bringing back the original intent of the Constitution... everything must be for sale damn it!

...An' thassa way it goes.

The progressive/liberals experiment with laws and programs they think will help their voter base, and when things blow up they blame it on conservatives.

Dodd and Frank are both gone. Their legacy lives on...

It would be better to question why they passed the 17th amendment. Senators basically passed laws protecting themselves and the political class.

That the cd poster would actually blame "the great recession" on the GOP, while completely ignoring that it was Clinton who setup the fiscal roulette wheel by repealing Glass-Steagall, says loads about their political awareness.

Term limits aren't a Republican idea either. If that was the case we wouldn't see Hatch, Young, McCain, Shelby, Conyer, Cochran and Sensenbrenner. Remember, it was a part of the "Contract for America" that was quietly dropped. Obama Makes Conservative Case Against Term Limits*|*Kevin Price
