    LOL

    I cannot believe you can say that with a straight face...

    I did dig through quite a few press releases from the FEC, the source quoted for chasingevil's blog, on their own website and no where did I find any quote from Pam Geller.

    It realy dosent take more then a basic HS world history to note the similarities between what the current administration is doing to what pre WWII Germany did succesfully. Pam Geller went over the top in her delivery but that dosent negate her point.

    Plus she looks great in a bikini.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    Some evidence of my point...

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123879833094588163.html

    The meat...

    Under the Bush team a prominent and profitable bank, under threat of a damaging public audit, was forced to accept less than $1 billion of TARP money. The government insisted on buying a new class of preferred stock which gave it a tiny, minority position. The money flowed to the bank. Arguably, back then, the Bush administration was acting for purely economic reasons. It wanted to recapitalize the banks to halt a financial panic.

    Fast forward to today, and that same bank is begging to give the money back. The chairman offers to write a check, now, with interest. He's been sitting on the cash for months and has felt the dead hand of government threatening to run his business and dictate pay scales. He sees the writing on the wall and he wants out. But the Obama team says no, since unlike the smaller banks that gave their TARP money back, this bank is far more prominent. The bank has also been threatened with "adverse" consequences if its chairman persists. That's politics talking, not economics.

    Think about it: If Rick Wagoner can be fired and compact cars can be mandated, why can't a bank with a vault full of TARP money be told where to lend? And since politics drives this administration, why can't special loans and terms be offered to favored constituents, favored industries, or even favored regions? Our prosperity has never been based on the political allocation of credit -- until now.

    Which brings me to the Pay for Performance Act, just passed by the House. This is an outstanding example of class warfare. I'm an Englishman. We invented class warfare, and I know it when I see it. This legislation allows the administration to dictate pay for anyone working in any company that takes a dime of TARP money. This is a whip with which to thrash the unpopular bankers, a tool to advance the Obama administration's goal of controlling the financial system.
    President Obama's motivations migh be different, but his methods are NOT. President Obama is doing the same things the hated former President Bush did, only on a scale MUCH more grand.

    How about we stop fighting each other and focus on a corrupt government that day in and day out is removing our Liberty, paper cut by papercut?

    All this from a President who has never lead a business... Not even a Dairy Queen....

    I was under the impression, mistaken apparently, that you and Puck were requested not to do white outs.
