Not for a moment do I believe that the people are justified in all their whining.

While I almost always disagree with Phil Gramm on a variety of issues...this time the TEXAN was absolutely right.

On every point.

From what I understand a recession is when our economy has negative growth for two consecutive quarters. According to what I have seen, that has not happened, yet. Is our economy on the ropes? Yeah it is, but it is still plugging along in positive territory. What is hurting us is energy prices, and many democrats who are leaders in our country are happy about that. We have had many opportunities to head off what we are experiencing now with energy prices, but our leaders in congress on both sides have coward to liberal groups and have not allowed refineries to be built, or renewable energy to be developed. This economy is a result of both sides not having the guts to do what needed to be done 20-30 years ago.

Did Chuck Schumer whine?

Gramm has hurt McCain’s campaign–which was already in trouble. Did you notice that McCain’s blue collar Michigan audience on Fri was SILENT–giving ZERO APPLAUSE?

Obama’s lead in MI (and OH) has been very soft and McCain could have caught him–but now I doubt it. McCain’s “Gramm doesn’t speak for me” claim is fooling no one–because just 2 weeks ago he was bragging about how Gramm had written most of his economic platform!

Big Daddy Weave and Cat’s Dad, we’ve been suffering not for eight years of Bush economics, nor two years of democrats controlling congress. The very prevalent recession we are now experiencing is the result of 95 years of the unconstitutional Federal Reserve System, which has abolished the soundness of our currency and driven up inflation in order to bail out private corporations. Let’s not be so simple minded as to blame this economic crisis on the Bush Administration or the Democrat-controlled Congress. All of the problems our economy faces now can be traced back to the fact that private, unelected officials are controlling our currency. This recession has been a long time coming. If we had only listened to the wisdom of Lev. 19:35-36.

Let me correct Karen, the DNC lady: We Americans are suffering under the weight of two years of Democrats controlling Congress, not eight years of Bush-economics.

Maybe this says more about the quality of a UGA econ degree than anything else…

It remains to be seen just how far that distance between McCain and Gramm remains. They are good friends, you know. I think Gramm’s statements demonstrate just how far behind the voters that he is. He still thinks the Republicans rule, and everyone will listen closely to what he says. Of course he blamed the bad economy on the usual Republican whipping boy, the media.

Have you seen how quickly John McCain ran away from your bud Gramm? Too bad McCain ain’t a little younger–or he could qualify for the Olympics! That’s the quickest political dash I’ve seen in a while, well, other than everyone running from Jessie Jackson as if he had a knife in his hand…

As long as Christians keep looking at politicians for their blessings, they are going to keep on being disappointed no matter which party. Where our hearts are, there lies our treasure and when this Nation places God above other gods, money, pleasure, so forth and so on, we may again see His blessings. We are more interested in conforming to the world than we are wanting to see the world know Jesus as Lord and Savior. This will not sit well with everyone, but I’ve been around quite a few years, was a Democrat now only want to be a Christian with leanings toward whoever will desire to lead us back to righteousness as a Nation – not looking for personal power. There may not be a politician out there fitting that description. Mom2
