I get deep at times.

The Senate Republicans are unpatriotic, un-american, traitorous pieces of Japanese CRAP!
And the need to GET OUT OF THIS COUNTRY AND MOVE TO JAPAN!
OH LOOK! Their Japanese COMRADES are getting clobbered too!
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
ASIA MARKETS

Last update: 6:18 a.m. EST Dec. 12, 2008Comments: 68HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- A week of solid gains ended on a sour note for Asian markets Friday as stocks got broadly hammered as hopes for a U.S. government bailout of the Big Three automakers collapsed.
Regional automakers -- such as Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Co. and Hyundai Motor Co., all of which depend heavily on the U.S. market -- plunged in afternoon trading.
Meanwhile, the dollar fell against the Japanese yen in Tokyo trading, hitting a 13-year low of 88.02 yen, before rebounding after news broke on Capitol Hill that the Senate had failed to reach a compromise on the proposed auto-loan package, which had cleared the House of Representatives Wednesday night.

WHY DO THEY HATE AMERICA?
Hmmm. franksolich happens to think Republican U.S. Senators love America; they're thinking of the long-term, not just today.
But to a primitive, "right now" is "long-term."

4. Southern Republicans are a special breed, that's for sure
Collectively, they manage to take the "cut off nose to spite face" deal to ever higher levels.
Southern Republicans are a special beed, that's for sure.
Collectively, at times they seem to be the only ones concerned about the future.

5. If they let our Big 3 go down....they will ALL go down. REPUBLICANS KILLED THE AUTO INDUSTRY. I will walk everywhere before I buy a foreign car. Republicans hate America.
Hmmm. Walking might be good for the shaming primitive.
Drops the weight, lowers the blood pressure, all those sorts of things.

7. The Southern elite have always been treasonous bastards, from day one. They were the Tories and were never for this country, except what they could rape from it. And most of the "bad chapters" of our history were them getting their way.
Maybe they don't think they're hated enough yet. If they get their way about this, and the public watches the economy go over the cliff from it, even their remaining few supporters (the ultra-slow) will catch on.
Yeah, yeah.
