Let's hope McCain takes Obama to the woodshed every day! (Oh, is that racist?)

"Let's hope McCain takes Obama to the woodshed every day! (Oh, is that racist?)"

No, it's not racist. It might be "woodist" or "sheddist" though. ;)

Do your guys' brains just erase themselves overnight? You seem to start the day out with no concept of history or the past. Republicans have had far more control and input over the direction of the federal government in the past 8-14 years than the Democrats, is that even disputable? And here you are blaming all of the country's problems on what's been the minority party for the bulk of that time. How does that make sense? Republicans had both houses and and the Presidency for 4 years, the Blue Dogs helped them retain a functional majority since the 2006 midterms, Pelosi and Reid have been totally ineffectual and weak in mounting any opposition to the President's agenda, and it's all their fault, huh?

So all John McCain has to do is say, 'If we had done what I had wanted to do, this whole disaster would have been averted.' And that's good enough? What a joke! I've never seen such enthusiastic support for a party or an ideology dissipate so quickly and reform as pathetic and desperate responsibility-dodging.

Also, Patterico is functionally retarded.

"Do your guys' brains just erase themselves overnight? You seem to start the day out with no concept of history or the past. Republicans have had far more control and input over the direction of the federal government in the past 8-14 years than the Democrats,"

go back and try to show your work. Please take into account the NARROW majorities, and the Republicrats that just keep reaching across that aisle lefy's like you just can't seem to find.

Again show your work. Break it down. Until then you don't have a point.

The narrowness of the majority doesn't matter if the same party controls both houses and the Presidency, which Republicans enjoyed for four years.

Do you know anything about how our government works?

By heaven, Attila! A certifiable A-grade Troll from Patterico's has managed to pop up under your bridge!

Levi cleverly notes, "...Republicans have had far more control and input over the direction of the federal government in the past 8-14 years than the Democrats,"

Of course our friend, Levi, misses (by a mile!!) the Democrat contribution to the mortgage meltdown which has resulted in this economic fiasco. Can you say "COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT OF 1977?? You won't be surprised, Levi, to learn that Dems - in another pathetic attempt to woo the votes of the "downtrodden" - proposed the legislation and it was signed by another Democrat, Jimmy "Peanut" Carter. Which Democrat President, (Hint: the one who had trouble keeping his pants on) authorized the FURTHER lowering of lending standards to unqualified borrowers?? Now the tough questions: Can you spell A-C-O-R-N?? Can you tell the rest of the class which Democrat nominee is endorsed by the Communist Party USA?

Now go back to the Demtard "talking points" class and see if you can take more relevant notes.

NObama '08

That CRA bit doesn't even make sense. In the first place, that law is not applicable to the mortgage industry which is responsible for this mess, and secondly, why didn't the Republicans do anything to stop it? Why wasn't the CRA a hot topic under the Reagan administration, or either of the Bush administrations? Why have I never heard a single conservative anywhere describe the CRA as some fundamentally profound problem until a few weeks ago, when a convenient scapegoat was needed for desperate political campaign?

The more immediate causes of this disaster are Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy, the deregulation and abandonment of oversight by Congress started in the 1990's, the record-setting deficits created by the 'fiscal conservatives,' not to mention the insane monetary and opportunity costs of the war in Iraq and the obvious reluctance of an Oil Man as President to start moving away from oil as the cornerstone of our economy. None of that stuff occurs to you people as being problematic? You're going to blame this whole mess on a 30 year old law, Barney Frank's supposed unparalleled power over the economy, and of course, poor minorities?

This might be a good time to review the headshot the Democrats have planned for America--(From Obama's speech at the 99th annual NAACP convention in Cincinnati, July 2008)

• "Universal," "guaranteed" health care.

• "Free" college tuition.

• "Universal national service" (a la Havana).

• "Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families").

• "Free" job training (even for criminals).

• "Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels).

• "Free" child care and "universal" preschool.

• More subsidized public housing.

• A fatter earned income tax credit for "working poor."

• And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the Third World, first and foremost Africa.

Plus lots, lots more--down to micromanaging US business.
