What I don't understand, is the notion that you have a country, but the federal government should have no power to create laws, and has to play these economic games instead of saying 'if you drink underage, you go to jail'

there is no contituitional support for the federal government to do so. this sort of bullshit is reserved for the states.

There is a fellow that is suing the government for information on how the TARP funds are being spent. Jerry[^] is the fellow in question. He's not asking for money in the suit. He's volunteered at Katrina, Ground Zero, Lake Charles, never asked for anything. His website cause is to get more males involved in nursing, not a porn site. He's an ex military person and not a liberal. Now on to my point: He's tried to get onto Rush's show and was called unamerican by the screener. He tried Hannity's show and was asked if he was an angry liberal. Is this the meme of conservatives for attempting to find out how the banks are spending the trillions of taxpayer money they have? The reason I ask is there is a lot of uproar about Obama's plan, and those same conservative voices have applied the same to the TARP program, yet in the media conservatives seem to apply selective outrage. TARP funds setup by Bush is American, but Obama's is Socialist. Anyone have any views on what exactly the conservative position is on this subject?

Any answer you got would be bullshit. Once it's given to company X, it's no different than any other money in company X's bank account; any report they give will be meaningless. If they had $bn of normal income and $1bn of bailout and spend $667M on each of 3 catagories (Good, Meh, GRRRR) any assertation of which money went to which is purely arbitrary. X will claim they spend the bailout on all of Good and half of Meh, with not one cent spend on GRRRR. Anyone critical of the company/bailout will claim the opposite. Even were our elected idiots to try and dictate where it can/can't be spent the same sleight of hand would apply. :rolleyes:

Good catch, I believe it does. I do have a keyboard that's somewhat on the shrill side.

Yeah, I'll be watching for that... State side. But then I assume I'll have to call him what he dictates and not something of my own invention. Till then, I'll split my addresses between Uh-bama (especially after his painful speaking engagements), Obamessiah, and Obamanation.

Yeah I know what you mean. We should have just left Bush in there. I'm sure he was just about to start making things better. Maybe McCain would have told him how to catch Bin Laden.

Conservatives are not for TARPI, TARP2, Spendulous, or any nationalization or bail out. Perhaps you think conservatives are for TARP and against Spendulous, which would be incorrect. I to would like to know where the TARP I money was spent. It is a good question and needs to be answered! --- That guy should have no problem getting on the talk shows you mentioned... unless he was boring (that is unforgivable on talk radio) or making stuff up.

I'm trying to determine if that qualifies for Shog's observation. Did you type that shrilly? Perhaps you have a Shrill keyboard? Maybe the new pres will launch some military operations/invasions and you can call him "I'll bomb ya". Remember the higher the death toll the more we reduce the species dependency on food, water and oxygen.

And killing off a bunch of twenty-somethings will lower the unemployment rate really quickly. And, with luck, the other guy will bomb where there are lots of toxic mortgages. . .

Exactly! No really, Bush, McCain and Obama are the last degenerates we need heading this country. But thanks for the benefit of the doubt there Mike. ;)

A lot of conservatives are closeted, narrow-minded bigots that like living in an echo chamber. It is the same way with liberals. Controversy it what makes modern media, not educated discourse.

Just what I was thinking. Essentially he wants to know if the Conservatives have stopped beating their wives yet.

Bush was just about the only "conservative" that thought TARP was a good American idea. OK, I exagerate, a minority of TARP voters were Republicans, all of which have highly pissed off constituencies now. I can't answer for the call screeners at either show, but I'm fairly certain that Rush and Hannity would have applauded this guys efforts, as do I. Oh yeah, and Uh-bama is a socialist. :-D

That's what I thought and what I'm trying to reconcile. Thanks for an honest reply. Seems difficult to get these days on this forum.

Mine too (if I'd had any). I don't fit Uh-bama's definition of working class... I work.

Don't flatter yourself. He doesn't even know who you are, I just asked him. He's currently got Homeland Security focusing on heavy consumption of Cough Syrup. Those people fit the terrorist recruiting profile.

So ? How does the number of people in the country define if it's a good idea or not for the country to have one set of laws ? This is an historical situation, it's not one that you guys came up with because you had lots of people.
