california tax revolt: attend a TEA PARTY!

You should add, partypup, that repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act was signed into law by *cough* Bill Clinton….[/quote]

The funny thing about that, and I am not partisan at all, is that it was done under the Republican manta of “deregulation for the free market”, that’s how they sold it. See what happens when the work together.

The bill that ultimately repealed the Act was introduced in the Senate by Phil Gramm (Republican of Texas) and in the House of Representatives by Jim Leach (R-Iowa) in 1999. The bills were passed by Republican majorities on party lines by a 54-44 vote in the Senate[12] and by a 343-86 vote in the House of Representatives[13]. After passing both the Senate and House the bill was moved to a conference committee to work out the differences between the Senate and House versions. The final bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90-8 (1 not voting) and in the House: 362-57 (15 not voting).

Arraya: It’s interesting, and I don’t know if you’ve noticed it, but the rightists on the board (Partypup, me) are finding more and more in common with the leftists/left leaning (you, Afx) as of late.

I’m attributing this to an awakening as to what the real threat in this country is and it isn’t each other. Nor is it gay marriage or gun control or any of those other wedge issues that Carville, Rove and Co. have thrown in front of us in the last 20 years to deflect us from the real problems we’re facing.

People are waking up to reality and at some point, societally speaking, this shit is going to hit critical mass. Then the fun starts.

I’ve definitely noticed this. I’ve had constant political and philosophical battles with my dad over the past 8 years. He’s always been a Bush 18%’er and originally belonged to the “Obama’s a Muslim” crowd. However, something these past few months has changed, and my dad has actually approached me on a few issues and we actually came away agreeing on a lot of things. I thought this would never happen. He still doesn’t like Obama, but now he’s criticizing Bush and the GOP — basically everyone in power. When I start agreeing with my dad on political issues, you know something is afoot.
