It's well known that Democrats are not wealthy. In fact, Democrat as a whole, abhor money.

Well, it is the root of all evil. Which explains why conks love is so much.

Well, it is the root of all evil. Which explains why conks love is so much.

Yeah, because there aren't wealthy democrats.


Can't we just agree that both parties suck?

[Ibanez]

Btw, I thought women were the root of all evil.

If only we had more donks like Geithner and Summers...the recession would have never happened, right D1Backjon?

"Hey everyone, we're closing 5 minutes early todaaaaay. Member, our volunteer time at the the soup kitchen???"

George Soros is an uberDonk, you twit. Made billions trading world currencies.Get with the program.

[kalm]

Fellas, fellas...let me help you out here.

In the early 70's, an uber-conk superman named Lewis Powell who was really, really scared of American commies (40 years too late) and really, really liked the Chamber of Commerce penned a screed called the Powell Memorandum suggesting that the Chamber of Commerce was the cat's meow and that great ideas and proper economics came from the corporate form and not from real live human beings.

Nixon liked him so much that Powell was appointed to the SCOTUS where he opined that corporations were in fact people in First National Bank of Boston vs. Belloti.

A few years later, Ronald Reagan really liked this line of thinking as well and decided to hate on some union members and promote the magic pixie dust of anti-regulatory capitalism, the free market, and pee-on economics.

Then, big, bad Bill Clinton came to power recognizing that his Democratic Party could not remain competitive relying on union support alone (who's power was dwindling)

Then big financial institutions, who caught wind that donks were now also willing to play and who were high out of their minds on the opiate of the tech boom spent billions lobbying for deregulation of the banking industry which had prevented a financial catastrophe for nigh on 60 years. Clinton signed it, but it was called GRAHAM-LEACH-BLILEY (after the conks who sponsored it).

Next Clinton, after getting swell advice from the committee to save the world...(yeah, these guys)


...

Also signed the Commodities Futures Trading Act, which deregulated something called the "Derivatives Market" which consisted of items described as "complicated financial instruments"... aka "you don't know what the fuck they mean...but trust us...we're smarter than you, they really are magical, and they're fancy!"

Pretty soon, bankers, realtors, mortgage underwriters, builders, developers, quasi governmental lending agencies, and itinerant strawberry pickers all joined in the orgy of free money, McMansions, perpetual growth, and deregulatory heaven...WHOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Then it all came crashing down...like it has before.

Flash forward to today, and President Barak Obama has not done one single thing to fix the mess. Glass Steagal is still repealed, TBTF banks are larger than ever, and Larry Summers has actually been floated as the next Fed Chairman.

It's the financial Lorax. Both sides are culprits. But D1B is correct...greed is the root cause.

So an über Donk can't be infected with conk greed?

Dumbass.

By definition, no. Donks just take other people's money by claim of right. Douchenozzle.

Man...conks really don't like it when donks start playing by conk rules.

Nixon liked him so much that Powell was appointed to the SCOTUS where he opined that corporations were in fact people in First National Bank of Boston vs. Belloti.

Gee, neat history lesson. Of course, it ignores that treating corporations as people, with respect to the law, happened far earlier than Lewis Powell. Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific happened in 1886, which I'm pretty sure was before Powell was even born. Of course, that ignores the fact that it was accepted judicial opinion for well before that, stretching back to common law. And then the US Code Title 1, written in 1947, actually calls corporations to be treated as people. And the eminent Hugo Black, he being the Supreme Court Justice appointed by liberal idol FDR in the 1930's, actually provided the basis for the ideas you claim to have been invented 40 years later, in his opinion in Connecticut General Life Insurance Company v. Johnson. Are we now calling Hugo Black and FDR uberconks? Or is it possible that your reading of history is highly selective and in this case, flawed? Hmmm.

I'm well aware of Santa Clara v. Did you know it was actually an error written by the court clerk that was then adopted into law? And gee...when did I say it was invented by the 70's ruling? Or is it possible you're really butt hurt by the FACT that any reasonable human being would agree that a corporation and a human being are not the same entity?

Badly and ASStomouth

D1Backjon doesn't even make it to the ballpark. Who said anything about Blanche Lincoln bringing down the world economy?

Every rational person agrees that Wall Street and greed had a big hand in the collapse. Reasonable people are also intelligent enough to realize that donks and conks are liable. Consider logic, it would open a brand new world to you.

False. As D1Backjon pointed out, only Conks like money. According to D1l doBie, Donks would never be greedy, in fact Donks abhor money and rich people. If a donk ever got greedy, he would be infected with a nasty disease called "conk greed," and would essentially be a conk in donk clothing. Facts, you should check them out, kalm.
