		<description>IndyInjun-

  When I saw it was you who left the last comment, I decided I had to take a look. 

  You did not disappoint. Thank you. Care for a swig of this Jack Daniel&#039;s? It makes being in a party of Jackasses, um elephants rather, less painful.</description>

		<description>Why is it when I visualize Harry, I see kool aid-stained lips and T shirt.

By George, Harry took a bath in it.

My assessment of blame is 40% Dem and 60% GOP.

Shoot, Bush even bragged about how his gutting of regulations was allowing poor folks to buy homes that they previously could not afford.

Under the Dems, the official US debt did not double under a single president, eclipsing the sum total of all predecessors as it did under the GOP Fed, Treasury, White House and Congress (6 years worth).

I am about to slash my wrists for ever supporting these jackasses.....uh, elephants.

Harry and Chuck Wells need the Heimlich manuever. They are choking on the last morsel of Dubya excess.

Karl Rove still hangs around their houses.</description>

		<description>Doug, the CRA got the ball rolling on credit abuse.   The Democrats were (are) looking for votes, as usual.

And the law is still in place.  More abuse will happen!</description>

		<description>I think &lt;strike&gt;global warming&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;the CRA&lt;/b&gt; is the cause of &lt;strike&gt;Katrina&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;the credit crisis&lt;/b&gt;, and  will eventually destroy &lt;strike&gt;humanity&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;the economy&lt;/b&gt; as we know it.  First with rising &lt;strike&gt;flood waters&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;credit defaults&lt;/b&gt;, then with rising &lt;strike&gt;temperatures&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;bank failures&lt;/b&gt;.

It is clearly the fault of greedy &lt;strike&gt;big oil&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;big poor black borrower&lt;/b&gt;.  So sayeth &lt;strike&gt;Al Gore&lt;/strike&gt; &lt;b&gt;Sean Hannity&lt;/b&gt;. Unless we act now, there is little hope.

It&#039;s amazing how, with just a subtle change, true believers all sound alike.</description>

		<description>Two things I&#039;d like the Republican party to do:

1) Vow not to raise the Federal Debt ceiling, which is akin to a person cutting up their credit cards.

2) Push to eliminate all corporate level taxes, which will provide long-term economic and job growth.</description>

		<description>Aw, thanks Dash Riptide. Are you trying to get an invite for raw milk and chocolate chip cookies made with rBGH free butter, organic chocolate and non-GM flour? 

If you didn&#039;t find fault with some of my crazy ideas, I&#039;d know something was seriously wrong with you, and we&#039;d have to break off the relationship. Where is the fun in talking to people who agree, I ask you? 

Now I really must get back to work....unless you want to argue about something....</description>

Yeah. Jon was in bed and I thought he was asleep. I&#039;m downstairs working at my desk. I have a pile of stuff to accomplish, and took a little PeachPundit Respite. We were highly entertained that we posted on the same article at the same time. What can I say? Great minds think alike.</description>

		<description>Ok, I didn&#039;t read absolutely every comment, and I generally avoid John Konop entirely, but did anyone mention the FEDERAL RESERVE??

Bill Simon- thank you for pointing out the obvious which so many people miss-- Price&#039;s voting record. 

IndyInjun- you mean Isakson AND Shameless , whom I did NOT vote for or campaign for, even though NRLC (the pretending to be pro-life so we can bilk pro-life &quot;conservative&quot;, evangelical America for millions, organization) asked me to climb on board the pretend train where Saxby is 100% pro-life, whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. 

The problem with Republicans and George Dubya is that they ran a campaign of fear. They &quot;Feared&quot; America into the War on Terrorism, which is really a War on Freedom- OUR FREEDOM--, they &quot;fear&quot; us into believing the FDA and USDA actually protects our food when in reality the FDA and USDA is run by Monsanto execs, and inbred Pharmaceutical interests, or better yet pharmaceutical companies using U.S. patented meds (is that a riot?), &quot;fear&quot; us into believing that preemptive war is patriotic and just (anyone ever heard of &quot;jus ad bellum&quot; and &quot;jus in bello&quot;?), &quot;fear&quot; us into believing the Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Bill was the only way we could escape another 9/11, through &quot;fear&quot; we have to foot a gigantic bill bailing out the banks, &quot;fear&quot; of what our financial world would be like if we removed the noose of the Federal Reserve, &quot;fear&quot; that if everyone in America doesn&#039;t have social security stolen from their paycheck, they&#039;ll never make it as old people, &quot;fear&quot; that without the unConstitutional usurpations of state authority by federal authority, we would be in danger of something, fear, fear, fear. 

Obama had the brilliant idea to appeal to Americanism and so he ran on Hope and Change. Hello? He didn&#039;t even need substance behind it. He just needed to point out &quot;do you people really enjoy the dark murky world of FEAR?&quot;

Now I fear an America where establishment Republicans are allowed to stay in office. We need to send a loud and clear rebuke, and vote their asses out of office, and let&#039;s get some common people who actually still have some sense in their heads, put into office. 

Freedom is the ability to be without fear and to reach out and take hold of our unalienable rights. Remember good old Patrick- Give me Liberty, or Give me Death? Death to Fear. Death to Tyranny. Death to Tyrants. We will bring back &quot;Of the People, By the People, For the People&quot; and the unalienable right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Price, do us a favor and send a message to Establishment Republicans. You&#039;re blocking the door to Freedom. Get out of the way.</description>

		<description>Congressman Price,
The GOP has lost its way for sure.  Even the beating they took in November still has not knocked any sense into them.  Senators Chambiss and Isakson are still not using the Constitution to guide their votes.   The GA GOP musical chairs is played every couple of years and the problem is there are always enough seats, so the same unprincipled &quot;conservatives&quot; continue to govern.  

Your comment about our state being fertile ground for conservatives is questionable.  I agree that we should be, but we still have not had a real Republican governor since reconstruction.  We have a few real conservatives in congressional seats, but we have two non principled Republican pragmatists serving as Senators.  This state is not as red as many claim, and with demographics changing for the state, things may go blue in 4-8 years.  

The GOP needs to stop supporting unprincipled leaders by carrying the water for them.  Let them carry their own pork barrels back to Georgia, and explain their pathetic votes.  

Sadly many GOP congressmen supported the bailout by Bush and now oppose the bailout by Obama, showing the pathetic nature of most Republicans, that could not tell a GOP liberal President no, but have no problem saying no to a Democrat President.  

The sad thing is these pathetic individuals will even argue that they are against the bailout not because bailouts are bad economics or morally defunct, but because the money is being spent in the wrong way.  Implying that a bailout has merit.  Let&#039;s not even speak about the fact that a Bailout is not constitutional, and has no merit even being discussed as an option for government in a free market society.  

Congressman, the sooner you and the other members of the GOP caucus realize that we must end this madness, and start leading, the people will follow.  You should get on board with taking a look at the monster that congress has allowed to get out of hand in the Federal Reserve bank.  Start taking a look at what this private bank has done at debasing our currency.  Start educating the people on the problems with fractional reserve banking that has helped put us in this crisis.  Start looking into backing our currency with something tangible other than debt.

Our country is bankrupt, any money that you all spend is created out of nothing by our Federal reserve.  Our taxes don&#039;t even cover the interest on the national debt, let alone fix infrastructure.  The GOP likes to send money overseas in the form of foreign aid, why?  We can&#039;t support ourselves.  It is time to more than balance the budget, it is time to cut the budget below revenue levels and start eliminating the national debt.

We need to once again legalize the constitution in our country and congressional GOP leaders should vote no an all unconstitutional bills.   I cannot understand how so many in congress do not care to even consult the constitution when voting, when all of you have taken a vow to defend and uphold the constitution.  As a Party it is time to be men of our words and uphold the constitution, or change parties.  

Stop shunning those in the party that do stand on principle, start listening to them and see if you can make the same principled stand.  Even if it means you are in a small minority,</description>

The GOP has lost its way for sure.  Even the beating they took in November still has not knocked any sense into them.
