I'd agree with that assessment.

Not at all. It is a fact that Congress controls the purse strings of our nation. They get the responsibility for the financial failures of the last 2years. This started with the Franks and Clinton and it continues. Controls that were attempted by the Repubs were shot down. Nope. You guys get this one.

Which ones were those?

TheMercenary · 12-27-2008, 01:58 PM

Those ones. Google is your friend. It has all been hashed out here before.

So there's not even one that comes to mind? It's just a feeling you have that it must have happened?

Google was helpful in pointing out one control on executive pay that was actually in the bill, but was practically eliminated by a Bush-administration-requested loophole. It doesn't say who actually added it to the bill, but either way it certainly doesn't fit your narrative. Is there something that does?

Nope, nothing about "Controls that were attempted by the Repubs were shot down."

Do you have anything?

TheMercenary · 12-28-2008, 01:49 AM

You have weak search skills. Keep trying. Get back to me next week with a full report. For now you fail.

Start with these three clowns. Barney Frank, Chris Dodd & Bill Clinton.

Happy Monkey · 12-28-2008, 10:12 AM

Those are Democrats. What were the controls that Republicans proposed?

TheMercenary · 12-29-2008, 03:07 PM

Look them up.

Flint · 12-29-2008, 03:14 PM

As fascinating as it is to watch you guys go back and forth on this; I looked this up myself and here's a link to it.

TheMercenary · 12-29-2008, 03:16 PM

that is funny as hell.

xoxoxoBruce · 12-29-2008, 03:21 PM

So Google says the Republicans proposed no controls except in this thread.

Flint · 12-29-2008, 03:22 PM

Yeah Merc, I totally Google-slapped your argument.
