Ogre’s Politics and Views

HOORAY! HOORAY! HOORAY! It’s party time!

WHAT A VICTORY! This is AWESOME! This IS a victory for freedom — and yes, that means Democrats, Pelosi, Bush, McCain, and Obama all LOST.

As of right now, the House vote to pass the hundred trillion dollar giveaway HAS FAILED! I’m going to have a party, everyone to my house!

Votes show 206 to pass it, 227 against! This is GREAT NEWS FOR FREEDOM! This is the BEST news I have heard in a VERY, VERY LONG TIME! This is awesome. The House members are walking around wetting their pants in the chamber at this loss. THIS IS GREAT! PARTY!

Side note: 60% of Democrats supported the bailout; 32% of Republicans did. Some news media is already spinning this as “about 100 Democrats and 100 Republicans opposed this.” How about honestly reporting a strong majority of Democrats supported it, and an even stronger majority of Republicans opposed it. Nah, that would be too honest for the media, wouldn’t it?

Side note #2: Those who are blaming the DOW down 675 on the vote — the DOW was down at least 500 points BEFORE THE VOTE WAS TAKEN (It was at about 10,600 before the vote).

Note #3: It’s at least an hour after the vote and the DOW has NOT fallen 200,000 points, as PROMISED by Bush, Paulson, and tons of others who demanded this bill pass.

Note #4: Word is now that the House has canceled their pre-election vacation for campaigning so they can stay in session to ram this bailout through — and Obama says he doesn’t give a DAMN what the people want, he’s going to force the Congress to pass this bill.

Note #5: It’s been a couple hours. Democrats are whining to no end. The sky has not fallen one bit. In other words, doing nothing has had NO ILL EFFECTS whatsoever. None.

I see this rejection of socialism has spurred more lies:

Nobody wants to bail out Wall Street, and we understand Americans might be opposed to bailing out Wall Street … This is not a bailout,” he said.

Liar, liar, liar. I wish someone in the media would have the balls to call these people liars. I know, I’m dreaming to think the media will ever be responsible in America again.

Note #6: Some moron analyst on Fox News has now predicted that because of this failure, “Credit has been tightening all day. And now with this sell-off, as credit tightens more, it appears that NO MONEY will change hands tomorrow at all.” So there you have it, the latest fear-mongering: the world WILL end tomorrow, according to Fox News.

Note #7: Lots and lots of complaining — and there’s some actually complaining that the price of oil is down because the vote failure. In other words, because of the vote, oil is CHEAPER — and that’s being reported as a bad thing. More evidence that the people talking about and reporting on this thing are completely and totally disconnected from working people in America.

Note #8: Top 10 DOW Jones drops:
#10: 07/21/1933, -7.84%
#9: 10/26/1987, -8.04%
#8: 03/14/1907, -8.29%
#7: 08/12/1932, -8.40%
#6: 12/18/1899, -8.72%
#5: 11/06/1929, -9.92%
#4: 10/29/1929, -11.73%
#3: 10/28/1929, -12.82%
#2: 10/19/1987, -22.61%
#1: 12/12/1914, -24.39%

Today: -6.98% It’s not even close to The Worst Day In The History Of The World, as Pelosi, Franks, Paulson, McCain, Obama, and Bush all predicted — and the news media is claiming. The sky is NOT falling, no matter how much these selfish bums claim it is.

Note #9: Hey LOOK — even without Congress passing the mother of all bailouts, the federal government went and gave away almost $700 billion. No, really. The feds didn’t need the $700 billion bailout from Congress, because they had it all along. And yet they STILL claim they “need” ANOTHER $700 billion. Okay, that’s $1.4 trillion or the sky falls now. And they promise they won’t ask for any more bags of 700 billion dollars. Oh, and note that all the activity on the DOW today happened AFTER the fed already threw $700 billion at the problem.
