		<description>You nailed it, Lex

When they stole all our votes in 2000--a conspiracy between the Supreme Court, Administration (to-be), The Congress and the Oil-money vipers--it was like taking candy from a baby.
 
We didn&#039;t stop them. We wined a little; but they like that. They like to see us squirm.  


They can&#039;t be blamed for their &#039;unconscionable greed&#039;. That&#039;s their natural instinct. It is &#039;US&#039; that are to blame, for encouraging &#039;them&#039;.  We gave them the &#039;thumbs up&#039; 2004. Like, &quot;Good job. Keep sucking.&quot; True, some incumbents were rolled from their seats in &#039;04; but even that was kinda&#039; feeble. We left the kingpins standing. Something more comprehensive might be in order now.



This &#039;Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac...&quot;take the money and run&quot;...down Wall street&#039; crap; and the so called &quot;bail-out&quot; conspiracy that our government has fast-tracked together--acting, all the while, as  if they were saving the world from complete catastrophe--is just the latest chapter in their eight-year plunder...kind of the final slap in the face [unless they have something more up their sleeves]. 

Beyond perversion, it would be good grounds for full-blown Revolution, in any other country.

What American would argue:
 &quot;...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive...it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,...&quot; 

Problem is: there no one &#039;here&#039; to revolt...&#039;cept us chickens. It seems that the old revolutionary spirit died out back in the 1780s..  

Too bad, because the beauty of this country is that the &#039;Right to Revolt&#039; is built-in to it&#039;.  
&quot;A republic, if you can keep it.&quot; 
The Founders knew what they were doing.

Of course, that&#039;s not saying we should take up arms  and storm the Capitol. That&#039;s illegal, apparently. 

But there happens to be &#039;one day&#039;, in every four years, or so, that the government actually invites us to Revolt. (Except for in 2000, when that invitation was retracted.) 


 Have you noticed that these Congress people have been patting each other on the ass right through this Fanny-Mac plunder. With elections coming up, they&#039;ve about worked themselves up in a sweaty orgy of BFing each other blue...right on C-SPAN, in front of god and everybody. It&#039;s embarrassing to watch. But, no doubt, it&#039;s fun for them. Most likely,  a good share of them are guzzling Champaign and picking at the caviar on some oil-viper&#039;s  yacht right now.


There is no real &quot;hope&quot; for America; regardless of what you might hear from any politicians running for office these days. If there was, we would vote every, single one of those cockroach-suckers out of office--good and bad ones alike...no exceptions...just to send a little message to the government : 

&quot;Hi.... It&#039;s us.&quot; 

...and keep doing it, every election, until they get the message.


The Revolution is on Tuesday, November 4th. Fight or die.

		<description>There is a fascinating network analysis of the &lt;a href=&quot;//www.justsaynodeal.com/acorn.html”&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;links between all of the players&lt;/a&gt; in this mess.  Will probably confirm your worst fears, and shed some new light.

&lt;a href=&quot;//www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.1277/pub_detail.asp”&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Such as this:&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Prominent Democrats ran Fannie Mae, the same government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) that donated campaign cash to top Democrats. And one of Fannie Mae’s main defenders in the House – Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., a recipient of more than $40,000 in campaign donations from Fannie since 1989 – was once romantically involved with a Fannie Mae executive.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>What&#039;s coming? New records in unemployment exacerbated by double of the number of banks reporting tighter credit than during the S&amp;L crisis and dot com blowup. And this time China holds the purse strings. Black swan indeed.</description>

		<description>It was always reassuring in my 24 yr. career that in times of crisis Navy leadership stood up, took charge, and usually did the right thing. Didn’t matter if it was the seaman’s mess, goat locker or wardroom. It gave me a sense of hope and when it was my turn, strengthened my confidence. This current debacle has left me with a sense of dread as far as the ability of these clowns to lead themselves out of a wet paper bag. Let alone this financial clusterf**k.
Where have all the cowboys gone?</description>
