Um...the posters at Free Republic are CELEBRATING.

[Bicoastal]

Celebrating WHAT exactly?

[bunnies]

1. The same thing many DUers are celebrating.

Depression is very popular dontcha know.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

2. The differences between DU and FR are cosmetic. Ideologues are assholes everywhere.

[Egnever]

6. Shhh thats supposed to be a secret

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

14. Oops! Sorry. Viva La Revolución! Storm the suburbs, my descamisados

[TransitJohn]

Bingo.

Thanks for saying that...I think it often while here. :hi:

[AllieB]

16. Ain't that the truth.

Let's blow away the system and start from scratch. When there's an economic meltdown a la Germany between the wars, it's not 'socialism' that will win, but fascism. All of these folks looking for a crash don't realize how many people will be hurt on Main Street.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

22. Truer words have never been spoken. (nt)

[calmblueocean]

24. You could really only say that if you haven't been reading both. Seriously.

I know it seems cool to say that all political people are the same, but they're not, really.

Just count the threats of actual violence sometime. On DU, almost never. On FR, it's a regular occurence.

[jefferson_dem]

27. Word.

Shame on the ideological purists on both sides.

[PermanentRevolution]

28. Amen to that...

[jefferson_dem]

33. Delete.

Wrong place. Sorry.

[slackmaster]

36. I wish more people were aware of that bit of truth

But being idealogues, they are of course blind to it.

[TwilightGardener]

3. Saw that--Batshit-crazy Jim Robinson posting drunk again.

[ITsec]

20. Again? I thought he was always drunk.... direct IV to his veins. nt

[bluestateguy]

4. Let 'em

We'll have a bigger celebration on November 4.

[percussivemadness]

5. that the free market is going to take over and also they managed to convince

a bunch of DEMS and DUERS to agree with them...

[Rockholm]

7. They are poor white trash. They have nothing to lose.

Their mobile homes are rented. Their pick-up trucks are paid for. Go pray to Jesus that Wal-Mart doesn't close.

[MaryEllen9399]

26. and don't forget they are probably paid under the table nt

[Medusa]

29. The GOPers I know are decidely middle to upper-middle class

who like to *think* they are rich. They are about to find out they are not.

[pecwae]

38. What does ethnicity have to do with it?

[Occam Bandage]

8. They think this is "socialism."

These are people who think FDR was wrong and Hoover was right about the Depression. Literally.

[Kutjara]

9. It's Rapture Eve!

Jesus was seen getting on Air Force One and heading for Washington. It's all over baby! Apocalypse now! Yippee!

[seabeyond]

10. the same thing the assholes on du are. cut off nose to spite face. as long as the greedy

gets theirs.... who the fuck will think of repercussions to us.

[Eric J in MN]

11. Congress can address the economy with a better bill in January...

...if they don't give all our money to Bush now.

[TwilightGardener]

15. Yes, I'm sure the economy will hum right along until January. No bank failures, no

credit denied, no loans denied...it'll be fine.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

17. You really have no idea how complex systems behave

"A better bill in January..."

good lord.

[Drunken Irishman]

21. That's like getting shot in the head..

And not being able to afford the bill until your insurance kicks in a week later, so you just sit on your couch bleeding to death.

That makes a lot of sense! :eyes:

[WeDidIt]

12. The beginning of the worst economic catastrophe in human history

People don't realize what's going to happen now.

[Democat]

19. "The worst economic catastrophe in human history"?

Come on, take a look at your history books!

People are not going to starve to death in the streets of America in 2008.

The most important thing right now is to win the election.

If McCain is elected, there will be wars and more damage to the economy than this day could ever do.

Put things into perspective and stop believing Bush.

[frickaline]

13. This one made me want to puke

"Burn it down. I’d rather lose my 401K than my country."

What a moron. Its all about you isn't it dear. Gah!

[1corona4u]

18. Of course they are. They're maggots, who only care about themselves.

[seabeyond]

23. and what about all those on du jumping up and down all excited fat cats are getting theirs. and

screw all the rest of the people that will suffer repercussion.

shhhheeeeit, it isnt even caring about themselves. that is the ironic. they vote bush even though bush works AGAINST them. the little dogs in the nation all excited by this cause they cant grasp the concept of the tidal wave that will hit them

[cosmodem]

34. AND THAT would apply to the 94 Dems who voted no also?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

35. Yes. Absolutely.

[cosmodem]

37. I had posed the question as an irony. But I think you are right.

[FloridaGrl]

25. Celebrating that they caused

such a catastrophe to our economy. All the DEMS were trying to do was fix it.

[frickaline]

30. they were pissed off that the bill would have bailed out some foreign banks along with our own

idiots. God I am so angry right now, lol, sorry for the rage.

[demokatgurrl]

31. somehow, this was probably calculated by the repukes

to help them and hurt Obama and the Dems in the election. I don't understand the economics of it enough to explain why or how, but I do know me repukes.

[Lucky 13]

32. Clusterfuck to the poor house

Keep in mind these are also the people that celebrate when gays get bashed and minorities aren't allowed to advance.

Par for the course.

[Ganja Ninja]

39. I wonder if they'll be celebrating when the banks start turning off

ATM and credit cards? I hope they know that's not too far away.
