There seems to be an unspoken rule in politics that the Republicans have broken at least a couple of times over the course of the Bush Administration - don’t create precedents and new powers that you don’t want used against you when you next fall out of power . The failed idea of a permanent GOP majority was probably the reason for the Republicans’ crossing of this particular line, but nonetheless...

In Republican circles it is now Obama’s fault for the legislation that Phil Gramm and John McCain voted for to derail any regulation in the financial markets. How is that logical? Has Michael Reagan been hitting the crack pipe to often or what? There is not one person more liable for this collapse than John McCain who fought hard for deregulation in every concept of the American economy! It's his freaking...

In this (my blog) I lay down much of the ground work into what happened with some dud banks going bankrupt recently. I also read that Phil Gramm who is McCain’s republican economic adviser ‘helped’ Gramm slipped in a 262-page measure called the Commodity Futures Modernization Act Which “protect financial institutions from overregulation” And that circles the square.

Obama delivers the best line of the campaign today: And he's finally talking about Phil Gramm , the man who gave us the mortgage crisis. Phil Gramm cost American taxpayers $85,000,000,000 today. He's John McCain's chief economic adviser. This country cannot afford any more Republican steal from the poor, give to the rich country club economics. Yes! We! Can! hat tip to JedReport for the video. Jed...

Speaking with my good friend the Thane of Fascistan the other day, I noted that Phil Gramm's comments on us being "whiners" were like a bunch of thugs beating the crap out of you in an alley then telling you to quit crying. That's pretty much Republican ideology these days anyway, that's pretty much what conservatism is, as I see it: You're On Your Own. Tomorrow, I get to go to the food
