The Anchoress
I’m sorry, I really would like to be non-political about it – as to assigning blame for the crisis, there is plenty to go around, even to the credit-hungry public – but it is impossible not to talk about political parties as long as the Democrats insist on playing games with the bailout. Read what Chris Dodd (D-CT) tried to insert into the latest proposal here.
It seems like the role of the GOP – when they are even invited to participate in this pressing matter – is to be the parent saying “no” to all the children wondering what they can grab for themselves under cover of a national (and quickly becoming an international) crisis. Despicable, isn’t it?
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: quotes part of the very discouraging Wall Street Journal and writes,
…which raises the question of why Dodd et al. are demanding handouts to ACORN when there’s a developing national emergency to deal with?
The answer is simple: they are scallywags, corrupt to their bones, and they need to resign or be voted out of office. Resignations would be better. Resignations would indicate that some of these too-complacent, too-comfortable, bloated monsters of ego and untouchability understand that they’ve failed to serve, they’ve failed the nation, and they’ve completely broken our trust in government. Both banking committees should resign. Congressional heads of both parties should resign. And that’s just to start. If President Bush were not leaving in four months, I’d say he should resign, too, but this crisis is ultimately Congress’ baby, and Congress should see the first resignations. Dodd, Frank, Waters, Schumer – they should be the first out the door.
It won’t happen, though, unless it is demanded of them. And I don’t know if the American populace can be roused from their torpor to do it.
Maybe this will help. I linked to it below, but let’s show it:
Btw – The Democrats are still lying to us about drilling!
