While this may be a simple exercise in rhetorical hyperbole, it does show how the political messaging is intensifying as November approaches.

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 6:47amYou’re right, it’s not nice. Ya know what else is “not nice”? Barney Frank’s continual, blatant lies and arrogance. The fact that I can’t understand 80% of what he spews is just another annoyance on an already very annoying little man. Can anyone listen to him without being distracted by incomprehensible speech?

Posted on September 2, 2010 at 10:16pmAll joking aside, its my opinion Barney and all the other gentlemen and women in Washington have become so entitled, selfish and self centered it is impossible for them to serve the people. all of them need a ego deflation ie removed from office by the people that hired them. the problem is they are all bought off then in turn they dangle treats in front of the people back home. There is no truth left in Washington, truth is a large pill, they do not have the will to swallow it.

Posted on September 2, 2010 at 10:12pmIt would be nice if I could understand him…. well on second thought no, it wouldn’t. I am so sick of the rhetoric, how did we ever get to this place? My parents always voted D and they are great people, but if my dad, God rest his soul, ever would have thought that by voting D he was actually voting Communist he never would have supported them. Too many great Americans have been duped for too long, I just hope there is still time to undo the damage.

Posted on September 2, 2010 at 10:03pmI listened to the whole thing but couldn’t really make out what he was saying…so I turned the volume up…no good either. I agree – we need captions because it appears as though most of us can’t understand the words coming out of his mouth! Well not that I want to listen to him, I saw him on Leno the other night…he’s a blowhard. As he came on I thought to myself, two things I know he’s going to mention: it‘s Bush’s fault and raising taxes. I’m amazing cause I was right! LOL

Posted on September 2, 2010 at 10:02pmWell, I wouldnt say obama was as destructive to our nation as pearl harbor or 9/11. Close, but not quite that bad. But really, Barney, get your teeth off of Bloomberg’s nightstand when you leave in the morning. Its hard to understand you when youre constantly slapping your tongue against your gums.

Posted on September 2, 2010 at 10:01pmQuite funny how President Bush had all that power to legislate all these horrific policies that led to this economic disaster. Quite funny that Congress had no say so in anything when it came to legislating. Bush had it all, or can we say the Democratic Congress under Pelosi in 2006 had a little to do with what Barney is speaking of. By the way Barney, remember Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and that term sub prime mortgages…..

That wascally wabbit act of his is NOT endearing and his rapid fire **** chat makes NO sense whatsoever. What IS clear as a bell, though, is that HE, yes, HE, the one and only Barney Frank is one of the ones who stood in the way of ANYTHING being done about Fannie and Freddie but stood to gain quite well personally. WHY is he not in jail?

Posted on September 2, 2010 at 9:53pmThe messaging is indeed intensifying. In my local rag, for the past several weeks the buzz words have been ‘hate’ and ‘hatred’ and any excuse to promote those words is good enough for the editors. This week the words were “vicious”, “smashing”, and “killing”. See you can top “hate”!

To STOPTHELIES – You forgot to include Barney’s best buddy Chris Dodd from here in CT! The two of them are the reason for the wonderful housing crisis, we couldn’t let Barney take all of the credit!

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 3:31pmWhile there may still have been a small deficit created under Clinton, as a percentage of GDP the national debt did go down.
The debt was at about 50% of GDP at the end of Clinton’s term. Under Bush it went to around 90%, and now it’s almost at 100% with Obama. Which is just totally nuts. Everyone is delusional in my opinion.

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 4:59pmI wish this got more press. I am engaged and was paying attention at the time so I knew about it but the People’s Democratic Media covered this trick up so effectively that it is EVEN NOW being reported as fact in collegiate textbooks across the country. Fortunately there’s a new media in town these days. Unfortunately, history records that “Democrat President Bill Clinton was the only President in the twentieth century to pay down the national debt.”

Posted on September 2, 2010 at 9:46pmI know that Barney Frank was trying to be funny about this, poking fun at the GOP, but the headline is so true! The majority of conservatives knew that Obama was going to be a horrible president and now even some of the liberals are figuring it out. What Obama and his cronies are doing is destructing our country and that IS tad amount to Pearl Habor and 9/11!

Report Post »We fight and overcome our enemies who attack us from abroad. Japan, under our post-war tutelage, was made stronger after its humiliating defeat by our military. Because al-Qa’ida and the Taliban are not sovereign, we will never gain control over them, but the Iraqis will improve their society, like the Japanese, from our defeat of their failed totalitarian regime.
The attacks from within, however, by poseurs like our historic first Islamic apostate president, are a greater threat to our children’s—even to our grandchildren’s—future, than any foreign enemy.

Posted on September 3, 2010 at 10:27pmThe attack from within is like a cancer. Some people see the diagnosis and do something to stop the damage and maybe even reverse it. Others ignore it until they are in stage 4 and only have months to live. The more we deny that there is something majorly wrong with socialism and what it’s doing to our country, the sooner liberty will die.
