Are the Republicans that STUPID?????

They think tax cuts and more stimulus packages are going to fix the mess that they started with taking the controls off of the stock market and credit card companies...(I know the Democrats have done their own stuff), but this is going to really screw over the country!!
One example:

These governors are smart to put their state ahead of what they think.


We have given the companies so much money over they last few years, I mean, just look at the record amounts of profits the oil companies made on the backs of us consumers, look at the money KBR and other such companies made, have any of you kept up with the damage they have done while making that money?
For example:
Army: Shower Death Negligent Homicide
An Army investigation called the electrocution death of a U.S. Soldier in Iraq a "negligent homicide" caused by military contractor KBR Inc., and two of its supervisors, according to a document obtained by The Associated Press.

And this is only one of the many things I have read against this company that is supposed to be making things better in Iraq!!! We really shouldn't be in Iraq any way! Talk about a grab for another country's oil rights and personal vengeance...Bush Jr is a real piece of work and to me he and Cheney are both war criminals.


Watching our politicians and listening to all the things they have done, I'm not only shocked but angry. They are sloppy with their accounting, with their ethics, with their personal lives and yet we of the general public are not allowed that same kind of "freedom" (not that I want to be sloppy in how I live), but I find I'm held to a stricter standard then those who are supposed to be our voices in the government. Honestly I'm pissed off at both sides for letting things get so bad, but I'm more pissed at the Republicans because they have done more damage over the years with health care, with taking out loans from other countries, like China and Canada. If they wanted to recall their loans we would not own our own country any more. They would own it!!! BTW have we gotten Habeus Corpus back yet?

This is what I see from the Republicans:

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., agreed that more could be done in the area of housing, though he said tapping money in the separate financial bailout fund would be a more likely way to pay for mortgage relief.

I don't own a house, but this I do agree with and this is probably one of the only times I will really agree with Barney Frank, but this is a really good point.

"I never saw a tax cut fix a bridge. I never saw a tax cut give us more public transportation. The fact is, we need a mix," Frank said.

Time to make jobs not cut taxes. Cutting taxes haven't brought us any jobs lately.
