ECONOMY -- FRANK SAYS DEMS BLOCKING PROGRESSIVE FINANCE REFORMS SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF THE PARTY: Last week, Sen. Dick Durbin's (D-IL) "cram-down" amendment -- which would rewrite bankruptcy law to allow judges to renegotiate mortgages with banks -- was rejected 45-51 by the Senate. Twelve Democratic senators voted against the bill, after furious lobbying from the mortgage and banking sectors. The financial sector had funneled millions into the coffers of Democratic senators who voted nay, leading Durbin to decry that banks "own" Congress. This weekend, on the Bill Maher Show, Maher suggested to Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) that progressive Democrats fighting against moneyed interests form a new party: "Let's be honest, the Democratic party, starting in the 90's, also became the party of business and Wall Street. So what we really need is another party that's the progressive party." Frank objected, saying, "We who don't feel that Wall Street should call the shots are in the majority of the Democratic party." He then suggested that the "minority" of Democrats blocking progressive financial reforms break away to form a third party. "I agree with you that I wish there were more Democrats on one side. But what you're saying, on the Democratic side, who are on the side you want, should leave to become the second party. No, I'm the first party. Let the minority, who doesn't agree with us, let them become the second party," Frank said. Even with the setbacks, Frank said that progressives should be happy that legislation protecting credit card holders against abuses -- which "the banks hated" -- passed the House. "If the Senate doesn't do that, people have a right to be frustrated. But again, the answer is, kick out the minority, don't kick out the majority," he urged

Gee...isn't the Democratic Party the "party of tolerance"?

Or is it that the party's "tolerance" is only extended to those who are in absolute agreement with them?

both are bad.  the only thing the democrats have to recommend them is that they are not the republicans.  If the dems would run out Barney Frank they may never become the repigicans at all.

***********************************

nope.  at least not this Democrat. 

I don't know.  But, I don't tolerate idiots and assholes.  And that is about the entire constituency of the Republican party these days.

You only have to look around this board to see who is intellectually astute, and who isn't. 

It ain't the fucking republicans. 

Jim..

  There you have it, the "Idiocracy".  Jan never uses that word either. *chortle*

I'm still trying to decide if you are an idiot or an asshole.  I think I come down on the side of asshole.

You obviously have a functioning brain, you just choose not to use it.

Jim...

Look ib your HR handbook Jim, he's just a sniper. Bomb throwing usually flushes him. (yes gus, I have a little HR training also)

   No, the *chortle* was for Jim's benefit.  The real you, or at least the board you would never use such a word.  It's the kind of word that the bat-blog parrots think sounds impressive, and leads them to believe that it will fool the reader into inflating their opinion of the intellectual acumen necessary for cut & paste.

Jim..

Would you like for me to post that exchange of emails that prove how intellectually astute you are?

People who are really intellectually astute become bored with the liberals on this board.

Yes, I did say "bored."

Poetse

Post it potese, post it. Let us be the judge. Til then I must assume you were bored because you were uncomprehending.

Well, J2, I suggest that you read the thread "This is what hate breeds." That will give you a starter of the intellectual astutness of liberals.


And I wouldn't want to post the exchange without Jim's permission. It is a private exchange and I respect his privacy. But if he agrees, I'll be more than happy to show you the exchange.

I am just curious Poetse why you would even keep an email exchange you had with Jim?

Evidence, Piglet.

Sorry, I didn't have the right advice to keep your job. But most good managers know the same essentials.

Have You noticed how the Obama Administration is violating all the rules?

I just now decided to take a peek at this thread (the title didn't exactly entice me), but one comment caught my eye ...

 

You only have to look around this board to see who is intellectually astute, and who isn't. 

 

You actually believe the Democrats on this board are more intellectually astute?  Tsk, tsk, tsk. 

LOL! As one that has always enjoyed and longed for and achieved "Life Adventures"...I'm hoping... in a kind of secret place in my heart that you pukes will continue this bullshit until the "Real Bubble" burst....and then we'll just see "Who really talks the talk...and who really walks the walk!"

************************************

You send me the email chain you are referring to first, I will compare it to my own record.  Since I firmly believe, since you have the soul of a weasel (like most conservatives), you'd find nothing wrong with altering the record.

You see poetse, those of you with no moral fiber, eventually get caught up in your own lies.

I'll compare your record to the actual record, and see if it is accurate.  If it is, then, I'll post it myself.

What could be more fair?

Jim...

Sounds good. May have to send several. I thought they were all in one mailing but there are several.

Will get them to you next week.

Evidence, Piglet.

Sorry, I didn't have the right advice to keep your job. But most good managers know the same essentials.



Evidence for what Poetse?

But I am happy to say I am working. Out of 70 stores and 70 managers I was called back. So I guess I knew something!

Well, Piglet, he specifically accused nme og=f changing the subject when all I did was answer his questions. So if ansereing his questions is changing the subject, he is the one who changed the subject. Not very astute is it?

Glad to =hear you are working. Any job now is better than nothing.

"Evidence" for WHAT, potsy?   Your paranoia is showing once again.

No, Janie, it is evidence that proves Jim accuses me of changing the subject when I answered his question.

Now, Janie explain how you missed "retroactive" in that article. did you not see it or did you just say it wasn't there because you prefer to lie? And when I pointed it out to ypou yuou still said that I had not proved my point.

So, Janie, evidence is evidence excepot ther braindead cannot recognize it. therefore, it is always importamt to keep it.

Sounds good. May have to send several. I thought they were all in one mailing but there are several.

Will get them to you next week.

****************************************

Still waiting poetse.  However, you should know, although I haven't saved any "evidence", I never deleted those old emails.

So, you are given fair warning; any attempt by you to alter the record (something common to conservatives) will be noticed.

My guess?

You won't send me anything. 

You are just an immature posturing asshole, who thinks that by "threatening" me with past emails, you can get me to concede your position.

First of all, I would never do that to you.  But, since you've put the gauntlet down, I'll pick it up.

You don't know whom I have emailed on this board; nor shall you ever.

You are a moral idiot.

Jim..

Well, Jim, if you have them and don't trust me to post the correct ones, we can always let you post yours and then I will post mine.

****************************

Oh no, I'm not letting you off the hook.  I figure, being the immoral piece of shit you really are, you've already altered them to make you appear more "rational"..

Nope.  Send them to me..

Jim..

Of course, Jim. You are the one who lied about the test you gave me on insurance; you are the one who refused to respond to the message when I pointed out you grammatical errors in one thread; you were the wone who told Carolyn that she would have mooned the board.

Yes Jim, if you want to talk about morals, you are the one who should recognize immorality. You are the epitome of it.

BTW you and those liberal on this board aren't very astute.

You know, Jim, there is only one reason you want me to send you the emails. It's because you have deleted your copies. And you don't know what was said in them. Shame on you.

****************************************

Oh, I have them poetse.. not because I save such shit automatically, but because I rarely delete emails.  There were two email threads, both originating in early/mid January, 2009.

Jim..

Ok potese produce your emails or be known by all as the liar your are.

Me too.  I have one question:  Do you consider yourself  "intellectually astute"?

Jim..

It's obvious that Skippy if=s far more intellectually astute than Jim or J2.

BTW, J2, you call everyone on the right liars. Nothing new for you.

OK, Jim, if you have those exchanges, go ahead and post them. Let the world see how intellectuall astute you realloy are.

I'd love to have you across the negotiating table poetse...   you agreed to send them to me.

I'm still waiting.

What's your problem with that?

Jim...

I don't have a problem, Jim. I see no need to send them to you except that you doubt that they exist in their original form. You think I have changed them. But why would I chang them? they prove what everyone already knows. You are not intellectually astute.

I just sent one, Jim. Nothing was changed. It is your usual crappy self.
