VIDEO: Marcy Kaptur - an Ohio congresswoman puts a beatdown on Bush Bailout
Tue, Sep 23, 2008
I took our Ohio delegation to task over the weekend, and BEGGED them to do something about this joke of a Bush Bailout. Marcy Kaptur steps to the plate, and takes her baseball bat to the Wall Streeters, right down to “the tires on their Mercedes”. Go get ‘em, Marcy. Ohio used to have representation like this - Marcy reminded me of Howard Metzenbaum. What a great feeling.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Finally someone in Washington speaking the trueth!
Marcy Kaptur for President!
This Connecticut Republican would vote for you.
September 24th, 2008 at 10:17 am
I want someone like her representing me! She tells it like it is. If she has her way, Congress won’t hurry up and pass a disastrous bill no one’s read due to some trumped up emergency, like they did with the Patriot Act.

Hazaa!

Why is she not on a ticket!!! Way to go for the honesty of the couragous lady.
September 24th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Marcy Kaptur is fantastic! We need to clone her 450 times. I have written to my US senators and US rep. and urged them not to pass any bill that does not vest equity in the firms being rescued to the American people.
September 24th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Marcy is my kind of woman. She said it just the way I would .
September 24th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I love that she not only stayed that angry while she wrote it, she was fully capable of channeling every bit of that anger where it belonged while she delivered it. Cool head and amazing delivery. WELL DONE, Representative Kaptur. Lucky you, Ohio!
September 24th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
It must be great living in lala land with Peter Rabbit and the Easter Bunny. Paulson and Bernanke have a handle on reality, this woman should run for Congress as a representative for Disneyland !
What a pile of garbage - if you subscribe to this lunacy then I’ll see you in the unemploment queue for food stamps ! Get real - this is the greatest threat to the global economy since 1929 and the preservation of economic stability far outweighs revenge on those that profited from the excesses of the last 5 years !

Brief and to the point. EXCELLENT assessment of the situation. Well spoken, well done. This is what We The People are saying. The media promotes the lies from thieves on top, but the people on the street who know what is really going on are downright ANGRY. And BTW I am NOT turning over 95% - 100% of my paycheck to the federal reserve to pay any MORE debt. We outlawed slavery in 1865.
September 24th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Mike Kent seems to be the one in LaLa land. If you buy the line of Bull that Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke have been feeding us then you are the one that has been dropping the mushrooms.
September 24th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
ya, let’s just congress handle this. maybe we’ll see some progress early 2020
September 24th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Paul Meade Says: “If you buy the line of Bull that Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke have been feeding us then you are the one that has been dropping the mushrooms.”
What ‘bull’ are they feeding you ? Paulson and Bernanke understand what is happening to the economy - you clearly don’t ! The global financial system is looking into the abyss - banks won’t even lend to each other let alone you - if this proposal is not approved then we are all screwed. Fortunately the majority of Congress are intelligent people and they will approve this bailout !
September 24th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Just in case you cannot grasp the reality !
On Friday morning, Senator Christopher Dodd, the head of the Senate Banking Committee, was interviewed on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Dodd revealed that just hours earlier at an emergency meeting convened by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, lawmakers were told that “We’re literally maybe days away from a complete meltdown of our financial system.” Dodd added somberly, that in his three decades of serving in public office, he had “never heard language like this.”
The system is at the breaking point, and despite Wall Street’s elation from the proposed $1 trillion dollar bailout to remove toxic mortgage-backed debt from banks balance sheets, the market is still correcting in what has become a vicious downward cycle. This cycle will persist until the bad debts are accounted for and written off for or until the exhausted dollar-system collapses altogether. Either way, the volatility and violent dislocations will continue for the foreseeable future.
Most people don’t understand what happened on Thursday, but the build-up of bad news on the Lehman default and the $85 billion government takeover of AIG, triggered a run on the money markets and a freeze in interbank lending. The overnight LIBOR rate (London Interbank Offered Rate) more than doubled to 6.44%! Bank of America reported overnight borrowing rates in excess of 6%. Longer-term LIBOR rates also rose sharply. On Wednesday, jittery investors removed their money from money markets and flooded short-term US Treasurys for the assurance of a government guarantee on their savings even though interest rates had turned negative which means that their balance would actually shrink at the date of maturity. This is unprecedented, but it does help to illustrate how raw fear can drive the market.
The TED spread (the TED Spread measures market stress by revealing the reluctance of banks to lend to each other) widened and the credit markets froze in place. Borrowing three-month dollars on the interbank market and the U.S. Treasury’s three-month borrowing costs widened five full percentage points. That’s huge. The banking system shut down.
What does it mean? It means the Federal Reserve has lost control of the system. The market is driving interest rates now, and the market is terrified. End of story.

Marcy Kaptur is the 2nd best thing I’ve seen in Washington!!! The first being Ron Paul. I just wish here in NJ we could get rid of the spineless pansies that the deaf, dumb and blind have voted in.
In fact, if we had just a few more like her, our taxes wouldn’t be as high as they are. NO BAILOUT, or should I say No Bulls&*t. I don’t feel like paying for the next 100 years for monay changers greed. AND for those who want a bail out, you can volunteer your future, go ahead and sign your life away, but don’t include me. If you feel so strong, sign over YOUR weekly paycheck. Just keep your eyes and ears shut, so you don’t wake up.
September 24th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
“Steve Says: NO BAILOUT, or should I say No Bulls&*t. I don’t feel like paying for the next 100 years for monay changers greed.

You are the one who has got his eyes and ears shut. So Paulson, Bernanke, Bush, McCain and Obama have all got it wrong and you are smarter than all of them put together. Both Presidential candidates are suspending their campaigns and returning to Washington to support the bailout, which a genius like you is too dumb to understand !
September 24th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Finally, someone in Congress who speaks the truth. There is no need to bailout Wall Street. Let it restore its balance on its own. There is NO emergency. The bailout won’t help anyone but the rich, while screwing everyone else. The White House has been screwing the hard-working people for the last 8 years. The White House hasn’t done anything useful for the American people in the last 8 years. The bailout is just another joke. People who make mistakes need to suffer in order to learn from their mistakes. If you keep screwing with the American Economy, the degradation will never end. Let the Economy reach rock bottom on its own so that it can pick itself up and develop properly.

“Ash Says:Finally, someone in Congress who speaks the truth. There is no need to bailout Wall Street. Let it restore its balance on its own. There is NO emergency. The bailout won’t help anyone but the rich, while screwing everyone else.”

September 24th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
I see that our paid conservative Republican shill, Mike Kent, has had his say…
The Bush Administration has lied about everything under the sun, and I do not believe a single word they say.
I refuse to be stampeded. I’ve known this was coming for over two years because I woke up, turned off my television, and began paying attention.
If I already knew and understood the situation, then Bernanke and Paulson do not have special knowledge (they surely do know specifics about the vast criminal culpability of their little gang, though, I’ll give them that much).
They’re just trying to scare us, so they and their rich pals can rob us blind and take unaccountable power with minimum fuss.
Bush and his minions knew this was coming, and they had this legislation already written and waiting in the wings, just like the *gag* PATRIOT Act.
So, I don’t believe them. Not one bit.
No more lies.
Not one more penny to bail out the Bush Family’s rich cronies.
Once and for all, I have had enough of this crap!
September 24th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
“Ian Says: I see that our paid conservative Republican shill, Mike Kent, has had his say……….Bernanke and Paulson do not have special knowledge (they surely do know specifics about the vast criminal culpability of their little gang, though, I’ll give them that much).”
LOL - another dumb turkey squawks or gobbles ! As it happens I’m a registered Democrat (although I did vote Republican once - for Reagan in 84) but that doesn’t fit with your prejudice does it. Bush and Greenspan created this problem but only Paulson and Bernanke can solve it now. Congress will ultimately approve the bailout because they know that there is no other alternative !
September 24th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
I think citizens are just getting fed up with constantly being stolen from and lied to. Where the hell is all of the stolen money that was supposed to be set aside for social “security”? Where the hell is the TWO TRILLION dollars “missing” from the Pentagram budget? Where the hell is all the money going down the black hole for Operation Iraqi OIL? OUr country is being headed up by Oraganized crime and EVERYBODY is now seeing it. BUt not to worry. Any day now I fully suspect “terrorists” to come, perfectly timed again of course to “Wag The Dog”. What needs to happen is the castles of the MONEY CHANGERS need to be stormed and the TRILLIONS upon TRILLIONS of $$$ they are hoarding from all of the heists of so many decades need to be returned to WE THE PEOPLE. Ron Paul is absolutely right, time to abolsish the crooked Federal Reserve and all of it’s mafia minions and put the creation of SOUND money back in the hands of WE THE PEOPLE!

NEWSFLASH - NEWSFLASH - NEWSFLASH - NEWSFLASH
Closer to a deal. Congressional leaders say they have made progress. Paulson agrees to pay limits.
By Tami Luhby, CNNMoney.com senior writer
Last Updated: September 24, 2008: 7:47 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The debate over a proposed $700 billion government bailout of the nation’s financial system raced forward on Wednesday as the Bush administration and congressional Democrats moved closer to a deal. With lawmakers demanding that the president explain to Americans why the bailout is necessary, President Bush plans to address the nation in a prime-time speech.
In a show of unity, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Minority Leader, John Boehner, R.-Ohio, said Tuesday evening that they are working closely with the administration and “have made progress” on hammering out a deal. “We agree that key changes should be made to the administration’s initial proposal,” they said in joint statement. “It must include basic good-government principles, including rigorous and independent oversight, strong executive compensation standards, and protection for taxpayers.” Meanwhile, Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said that the Senate is getting closer, but will not rush through a plan that “will have implications for decades to come. We’re not there yet, but we’re getting there,” he said, adding the plan requires smart, thoughtful discussion and must include help for homeowners.
Earlier in the day, the House Financial Services Committee, led by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., grilled Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke over the details of the controversial proposal. At the hearing, Paulson agreed that the bill should curb executive compensation at the firms that sign up for the rescue plan, one of the Democrats’ key demands. “The American people are angry about executive compensation and rightfully so,” he said. “Many of you cite this as a serious problem and I agree. We must find a way to address this in the legislation but without undermining the effectiveness of this program.” The Treasury secretary, however, said he would oppose allowing bankruptcy judges to change mortgage terms because it’s “inconsistent with what we’re trying to do, which is increase the flow of funds.”
The Treasury’s plan, the most sweeping federal intervention in the financial markets since the Great Depression, calls for the government to buy from firms up to $700 billion in troubled assets - mainly mortgage-backed securities - whose values have declined as the housing market imploded. The goal is to stabilize the companies and prompt them to lend again.

Mike, These people are absolute CRIMINALS and swindlers, all of the money simply seems to go into a bottomless pit. It feels like a never ending extortion. Tell me where does it end? It’s like a chronic alcoholic that keeps saying ok just give me ONE more drink and I’ll be satisfied, but you know all along it’s a LIE and they will never ever stop asking for more. IF America is being held ransom by these Globalist bankers that have NO allegiance to America, then perhaps it’s time the U.S. turns it’s fighting troops on THEM, as they appear to be the REAL terrorists. Rather than kill hundreds and hundreds of thousands of innocents for resources and $$$ perhaps we could simply save alot of lives and needless destruction by ridding the world of these grotesque subhuman MOney Changing Parasitic International Banking CRIME families!
September 24th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
The left owns the media,the schools,and anything else that has to do with speech in this country.
If you think otherwise,you are a fool of the first order.And you folks look mighty foolish.
Obama may win. You will get what you pay for.
September 24th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Zimbalist, the Globalists own the media, the politicians, the money supply, the food supply, the medical supply, and nearly everything in between. They will use the “left” hand OR the “right” hand to reach into your pocket to steal ever more for themselves, it matters not, to further which ever their latest totalitarian power grabbing scheme happens to be. Tell me truthfully which of the two CFR handpicked Globalists will stand up for what is left of the Bill of Rights and work to make sure YOU have the freedom to live a life of Liberty and prosperity as envisoned by The Founders? Either? LOL!

Marcy Kaptur for Prez. YES
Excellent, clear headed… finally a politician I can be proud of.
September 25th, 2008 at 12:59 am
Isnt the federal government the ones that got us in the mess with over regulating the financial markets and lowering interest rates causing people who probably should not have been able to get a mortgage and keep up on payments actually secure home funding.
This rescue package is worthless and will cause the economy to faulter even more. I don’t see how the govt can get away with pumping in public tax dollars and pimping out the citizens of this country. Mr. Kent obviously can not grasp this idea. I was born in Alaska, lived in Colorado and reside in the Bronx(NYC). I can fairly say I have a good grasp on what the wide range of feelings throughout the country are.
I can only listen to Ron Paul and hope people will understand that this govt rescue package is really creating more of a mess as the govt created this problem.
September 25th, 2008 at 1:04 am
This is my first time here…won’t be my last! I am impressed that there are so many Americans feeling the same as myself…fed up with being lied to, losing our rights, being robbed, used, manipulated, & threatened (fear tactics)by Bush & his “gang” of lying, cheating, money hungry republicans. I wouldn’t doubt that this economic crisis was “created” by the Bush regime to line their pockets one last time before he leaves office. Does anyone else notice how he always “speaks to the American people” right before HE wants something passed by Congress, to 1.pressure them, & 2.to blame them! If Congress doesn’t pass his “bailout plan” anything & everything bad that results will be blamed on Congress rather than on him & his pitiful record as our president. We’re dealing with a “con” man here, & the “special prosecutor” should have been called in 7 1/2 years ago to end his dictatorship! WAKE UP AMERICA
September 25th, 2008 at 1:15 am
I looked up my rep, Jim McDermott, and made a phone call to his office. He had already gone onto the House floor and criticized the bailout, so I encouraged him to stay the course and say “No!” to Paulson and Bernanke.
So, a big “thank you” to Mike for motivating me to direct action rather than vent my spleen uselessly on some message board in the remote reaches of the Internet.
Thank you for your good work in inspiring an American citizen (me) to do their civic duty and participate in government via his duly elected representative.
The rest of you can do this, too. Go here to look up your Congresscritter:
https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml
And don’t send an e-letter through the form. Look up their office phone number and call.
Let them know what you think, directly.
Mike can do it, too. He’s spending an awful lot of time trolling around out here in the middle of e-nowhere. It might do him some good get on the phone and call someone (his Congressman) who is a little closer to the action.
So, no bad blood between us, Mike. Get on the phone and call your Congresscritter.
September 25th, 2008 at 1:38 am
can you imagine what a kucinich-kaptur ticket could (have) do(ne) !!
no, ben, it wasn’t REGULATION that caused this problem but DE-regulation…
September 25th, 2008 at 1:43 am
let the f-ing wall street billionaires bail their OWN arses out…they wanted to live by the “free market” they should now die by their precious “free market”.
September 25th, 2008 at 2:12 am
As a bartender, I make minimum wage. As a bar manager, I make a dollar more/hour and don’t get the tips. In my industry, there is NO health insurance and NO retirement. I cut up allmy credit cards in the early 70’s believing they were “evil”. If I don’t have the cash, then I don’t “need” it. I SAVE for large purchases. OK…I’ll never own a home. I’ve owned my car for 6 years. I cannot understand WHY IN THE WORLD we would give banks and other financial institutions MY HARD-EARNED MONEY because they never learned that lesson–LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS!!! That goes for the government as well.
Didn’t we have a ‘balanced budget’ under Clinton? (Or am I just making that up?) I don’t owe anyone other than 2 doctors and a hospital (fell and broke my 58-yr-old right wrist this summer which nearly cost me my apartment. I DID, though, lose 10 pounds–couldn’t afford fast food and couldn’t find a way to prepare food for a week or so. Don’t reccommend THAT diet plan.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! It TAKES us minimum-wage earners to make this country work! WE are the “working poor”. If we weren’t around, you’d have to cook for yourselves.
I’m SO happy to hear a legislator who sounds like she actually KNOWS how HALF the country feels! YIPPEE!
September 25th, 2008 at 7:47 am
It does not matter much whether they push trough this bill or not.
It may delay the bankruptcy of the USA but not by much. The damage is already done.
This bill:
- WILL NOT raise property values
- WILL NOT raise oil production
- WILL NOT raise oil exports
- WILL NOT raise car sales
- WILL NOT restore customer confidence
- WILL NOT raise wages
- WILL NOT decrease unemployment
The bailout bill is largely irrelevant. The US of A is financed by foreign money. It is just a matter when foreigners:
A. decide not to buy US debt anymore
B. cannot afford to pay US debt anymore
It is just a matter of timing. The world financial system based on the petrodollar is KAPUT. GAME OVER.
September 25th, 2008 at 7:53 am
One more thing:
You are mistaken if you think the US taxpayer will pay for this bailout. No, it will be paid by foreign buyers of US debt.
The only thing this bailout may accomplishes is to delay financial collapse by a few months.
Your choice: implode the system now or a bit later.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:26 am
So what good does “trolling around” on message boards do? Well slowly but surely a synthesis across our nation is occurring, and Americans are waking up to the fact that no matter how much they wish that Federal Government or Globalist Schemes will ever do anything to really help THEM (rather rather than further enslave them) they are starting to realize it just isn’t going to happen.
Whether it is Obama or Hillary syphoning off hundreds of Billions of $$ from our labor to Big Pharma or the Sickness Creation Industry or starting yet another fraudulant war in the Caucuses or whether it is McCain wanting to syphon off Billions of $$ to his Military/Ind. buddies and fighting fraudulant wars for the next hundred years in the Middle East, either way the citizens will be the victims. Slowly we’re all seeing we have to work on a LOCAL and personal level and first make sure we stop funding ANY Big Business that works against our interests. STOP giving any big company any of your dollars, we CAN once again create local entities that work for our common good. It’s not easy (and I’m still not yet 100%) but walk away from any failed BIg Gov, *solution* and start in our own backyards. Get to know all of your neighbors, start thinking and working on barter or even as some communities are doing working on their own type of “currency”. Get OUT of The “Beast System” create your OWN reality and pursue it each and every day, before The Beast turns on you and devours you. The clock is ticking.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:07 am
This American
Brilliant posts. You’re right, of course, about the ‘trolling around’. Sometimes I get very dejected at the seeming lack of awareness of those around me to the impending doom being cooked up by these benevolent masters of ours. But like you say, slowly but surely people are becoming aware. My only fear is whether it’s too little too late to stop the necessary World War III and terrible suffering that’s going to happen. I suppose the irony to that is even now, for most of the world, life is a miserable struggle - Asia, Africa, South America - and it’s all been to sustain this surreal existence we’ve led in the West for the past 50 years to lead us to this endgame.
September 25th, 2008 at 9:44 am
TO undrgrndgirl: Thanks for the comments, but i always thought and will always thought that regulation = this mess, like Ron Paul says: “Unfortunately, the government’s preferred solution to the crisis is the very thing that got us into this mess in the first place: government intervention.”
IS THAT NOT RIGHT???
September 25th, 2008 at 11:53 am
We need this women to be our new President!
September 25th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Spoken like a true Democrat. You must really believe what you ae talking about. I guess that the rest of the financial wizzards in the government best not take a clue from you. Guess you had best plan to give up your vacation and stay in Washington until hell freezes over until you and you alone can solve the financial problems of the nation. Obviously, you and you alone have the answer. I don’t think so and I would pray that nobody in their right mind listens to you and the hype that you are trying to peddle.
September 25th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Some people are not fooled by the thieves in Washington. Congress must not pass bailout legislation without including agreement for a thorough investigation of Wall St. and it’s shills in the Bush administration.
September 25th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
YOU IDIOTS
Listen to what Mike Kent is trying to say
Yes the Republicans have f**ked up the economy. Yes Wall street has lived fat on the hog.
But the bailout is urgently necessary to avoid meltdown of the US economy. And that doesn’t just affect the rich. It affects you and me. And I am Canadian.
While Marcy may be charismatic and questioning… now is not the time for recrimination - it is the time for FIX.
September 25th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
I really like her. where can i get some glasses like that?
September 25th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
I have been looking all night to see what then I CAN DO… check her website to see if I could make contact, only if I had a Ohio address could I make contact. Anyway anyone know who I can contact to actally be a “voice” against
September 26th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
As good as her words appeal to our sense of righteous indignation the big question that begs to be answered is, “Where was the leadership of the two legislative branches while this crisis was brewing?” Where? Isn’t that what they are there for? Whe didn’t the great expert Barney Frank head this off? Why didn’t the chairman of the Banking Committee in the Senate head this off? Or at the least blow the whistle that something was wrong. After all there are 427 people in the House and 100 people in the Senate getting almost $200K a year to do something. What were they doing?
Let’s see if sweet little Marcy can answer that one with the same sense of indigantion. Let’s see if phony Barney can answer that one.
September 27th, 2008 at 5:06 am
To All -
As firery as she was and as on or off point as all of the comments may be - there is one rather important factor that was not mentioned by this lady politictian nor Bush, nor McCain, nor Obama, nor Ron Paul or by any of those who wrote a comment - where is there any Constitutional authority for this or any other bailout?
Or have all of us totally abandoned the CONstitution??
Cheers,
I’m Eric, WhoRU??
September 27th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Eric, Dr. Paul has addressed the lack of constitutionality of this bailout, in fact he addresses the attack on the Constitution either directly or indirectly in about every newsletter that I receive from him. Sometimes when I read things from him I feel like he is perhaps channeling the ghost of one of my all time favorite leaders Thomas Jefferson.
Go here to this link (below) which I found posted on one of my top favorite websites rense.com For anyone still unfamiliar with Jeff Rense’s site I would encourage you to visit often, I make it a habit to read the site daily. It is a broad based FREE PRESS site, one can find someting there for about everyone, it is not afraid to post both “mainstream” sources as well as alternative sources and controversial stories and editorials and takes no prisoners in it’s attempt to look at many sides and perspectives in a largely non-partisan fashion. The State Dept. is said to call it “the number one disinformation site on the net” according to Rense, so knowing how the Sate Dept itself is one of the largest disinfor sites out there, we know Rense has to be good.
Anyway here’s the link to one of Dr. Paul’s latest messages.
Long Live The Republic!

What a big bunch of bullshit!!!!! All the federal reserve is is not federal. On thing she did get right is all these people stealing our money need to be prosecuted, especially that slezzy bastard George Bush, the big puppeteer for the crime snyicate bansters. The f__king Rothchilds and the rockerfeller nitwits.
I am done with this whole fake system. We the American people need to start our own gov. according to the Bill of Rights and the common law of the land. Not the Maritime law of the high seas. Get educated. Rule #1 TURN OFF THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE TV!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rule #2 learn the difference between the united states of America and the United States Corporation. Then talked to the educated people to make you a free man or women on the land.
Or stay their SLAVES!!!!
September 28th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Ummm she is talking about the same things Ron Paul has for 30 years. Why did’nt America just vote for Ron Paul?
September 28th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
i quote AIRPLANE ” Let’em CRASH “
September 29th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Boy Mike Kent sure has a lot to say in defense of the greedy people who have put U.S. in this situation. I wonder what Mikes credentials are? I propose go ahead and make the “Bailout” but then after I also propose every Tax Paying Citizen to immediately change their W4’s to “EXEMPT” quit paying taxes and let our Bought Out…errr… Elected Officials try to fund this fiasco. Take a look at who really stands to lose the most if this doesn’t happen. HMMMM. To start read the “Creature from Jekyll Island”, and take the time to educate yourself. If this goes through it’s “Business As Usual” but if deigned…. Oh my there might be some consequences or accountability for these thieves.
September 29th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Marcy Kapture and Ron Paul are worlds apart! She is a true progressive Democrat. She understands that this crisis was brought about by the “shredding of the regulatory system that has served our country for 60 years.”
Ron Paul doesn’t believe in regulation.
September 30th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Drop Joe Biden and add Mary to the ticket! Go Mary go!
October 1st, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Peggy, I think Ron Paul believes the Bill of Rights and The Constitution should be the basis for America’s regulation. I too think that would be a fine place to start.Who do we see in either the Dem or Rep camp that is working tirelessly to protect The Bill of Rights rather than to dismantle it? Who’s working in the Dem or Rep camp to keep America strong and sovereign rather than sell out to Globalist control. Names?
Not to knock Marcy but anyone can stand up and make a fine speech and I applaud her for at least that effort. But I would hope citizens would look a little deeper into someone’s voting record before they start chanting “President” simply based on someone’s oratory.
I don’t think anyone believes we have a truly free market. If so every time some big corporate criminal company gouged us or sold us junk we ideally would be able to go elsewhere and find a REAL alternative. I don’t think Paul is against ALL regulation I sense he simply doesn’t want regulation used in the way that it has been in the past, which is simply an illusion, and has been a smokescreen to allow special interests to hijack America for their own Agenda.

Thank you for the the truth!
Please check this Plan posted on a blog. If you think it would work, call your congressman. It has been sent to many of them. Tell them about it. It could be the basis for what the Honorable March Kaptur is talking about.

Too bad more Democrats didn’t have the stones to vote this thing down.
