Obama Revolt

Santelli's Chicago Tea Party

CNBC's Rick Santelli and the traders on the floor of the CBOE express outrage over the notion they may have to pay their neighbor's mortgage, particularly if they bought far more house than they could actually afford, with Jason Roney, Sharmac Capital.
You can go down to minus 2% on the mortgage and 40% of them still couldn't pay for it, so why [is Obama] trying to keep them in that house?
Poll - Would you join Santelli's Chicago Tea Party?

If the "stimulus bill" were used to simply pay off the 95% of the mortgages it could make free and clear, imagine how much money would suddenly be freed up to go back in to the economy. But did you see how much "pork" there is? Yeah, this isn't about the economy, this is about "payback" for all the criminal b&llshit that got Osama, er, bama elected.

The Democraps gave away our America years ago to any thatched hut jungle monkey that would come here and hold their jungle mud village in higher esteem than the shining jewel on the hill. This of course came with the understanding that one hand would perpetually be outstretched to receive free stuff. The other would vote for the people that gave them free stuff. All the time they are protected by the invisible wall of "Political Correctness".

There is a reason they never turned their mud village into a shining jewel. The same reason they will turn our jewel into mud.

anonymous,
mix in some fecal matter, (ie the masses that voted for the antichrist) and we are up shit creek. You are right on!

Rodger, Your poll had a "Yes" answer, but it needed a "Hell yes". Just trying to help here.

I'm going to be paying this off until my die. So will my kids. And the talk now is of how we're stacking debt on debt. It's like nobody on the left wants to realize this is it. 10 Trillion Dollar debt? 11? 12? In twenty it will be more, and more. Before the end of my life I'd bet more than half of my check will go to government, will go to people who don't work, or people who made stupid assed decisions.

I wish I was born 50 years ago.

Hey Josh,
Being born only 50 years ago would suck. Just as you would be starting to think about when to retire, instead you'd be trying to figure out how many more years of work it will take to recover from the U. S. Nationalsozialistische Democrat Workers Party's (USNAZIs) theft of your retirement savings. - Skyhawker Doug

I thought about that, but I wouldn't worry about that too much. I've worked for a little more than a year and have a hair over 11 thousand dollars saved. I'm a very frugle person, I can live with older, functional things, I can eat the store brand stuff. And so long as I get the education I am working towards, I know that I'll be doing well in another 30 years, whether they tax me to holy hell or not.

I'll never, ever, ever put more than half of my saved money into the stock market.

But I know what you're saying. I know of many, many people, who had their eggs in that basket (and before now, for good reason) and got hosed. My hearts go out to those people, how awful to work all of your life, be a responsible person and have everything turned upside down because of doings out of your control.

Looks like they took the poll down. (...go figure...)

Last time I looked at it, it showed 94% in favor of the idea with 256,000+ respondents.

Guess the poll wasn't confirming what CNBC is touting...hehehehe

When I took it much earlier today, it was nearly 96%. I like how the snarky ass people back in the newsroom acted like Santelli was a loon. Santelli looks and acts as pissed as most of us should feel.
