It's called a budget, those tax dollars are already spent, if you take that money, how do you pay what those tax dollars were budgeted for?

It's not gonna work that way. You're gonna have to go back to the beginning of this thread, and follow it all the way back through to see why...This has already been argued. The end result could be runaway inflation.

On a different note, Pilosi's speech (which she was 100% right on)

Ok smart boi...explain how it was 100% right on.

Have you even read anything that has been posted here that details warning signs and attempts by many (including John McCain) to reform the brewing mess that today is a major problem?  All of these attempts were blocked by the dems at every turn.

Don't be afraid, open your eyes....you might learn something.

Take this video for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs
Watch it and then come back and tell me how Pelosi's speech was 100% right on.

Man oh man, I'm not going to wade through 6 pages of responses, but this stuff is GOLD!
These guys were trying FOUR years ago to do something about it and they were blocked! :lol
This really needs to get some air time. I hope it doesn't get pulled but I'm guessing it will.

cmon, give it a rest already. The repubs had total control for 7 years, the dems could do nothing to stop them, they could do what they want.

It's funny, I'm listening to Rush the other day, and he comes out with this: "I am sitting at the convention with fellow republicans, and I said, we had control of congress, we had control of the white house, what went wrong?"

And he says "And we came to the conclusion, it was the democrats..."

And he goes on to say how the dems tricked them into doing things they wouldn't have done, pretty funny

But hey, typical of the times, blame someone else, don't take responsibility for your actions

So I guess that makes all of the blocking by the dems ok?

Is that your logic?

Oh, well the republicans had control and did nothing....so it's ok for the dems to block any attempt to do something  :confused:

c'mon....explain that logic to me....I'm listening.

I'm wondering the same thing. The democrats in that video got down right indignant when republicans warned of big trouble ahead. So because the republicans have done a less than stellar job of running the country we're supposed to give the democrats another shot at the white house even after seeing how clueless they are? Ever hear the expression out of the frying pan and into the fire? That's the sort of change Obama offers.

The Democrats could do nothing to stop the Republicans? Really? I guess all of G.W. Bush's judicial nominees just breezed right on through then, huh?

Now, on the flip side, the Republicans got drunk with power, forgot why they were elected, and screwed the pooch. As much their fault as anyone's.

But don't say the Democrats could not stop the Republicans, because they mastered obstructionist politics. They should hope that the Republicans forgot the lessons on that subject the Democrats showed them.

So what you are saying is it's time for the Democrats to get in there and really screw things up.  They have control of the house and senate.  Why couldn't they get this "bailout" to pass.  They just didn't want to get stuck when it blows up in their face six months from now.

I HATE politics!  I'm sick of hearing about this bail out.  They (Fannie & Freddie, AIG) screwed up, why should I have to pay for it?  I pay my mortgage, I pay my taxes, and I work for a living.  And I sure in Hell didn't make 90 million dollars in the last 6 years.

(breathing into a brown paper bag).  Ok, I swore I wouldn't post in these political topics.  Crawling back into my cave.  Please continue. :)

Since when do judicial nominees control spending?
