Jay Tea, WTF are you talking about? Could you put a few more details on this vague rant?

Apparently you missed the news that quite a few banks who didn’t need TARP money were heavily pressured by the federal government to take it to provide cover for those that did need it — and were later denied permission to repay the funds and get off the federal government’s hook.

And apparently you missed this news:

JPMorgan Chase(JPM Quote), Morgan Stanley(MS Quote) and American Express(AXP Quote) are among the firms that are expected to repay the funds they received from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, these people said, the Journal reports. The firms received $25 billion, $10 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively.

The Treasury Department earlier this week granted 10 of America’s largest lenders approval to pay back $68 billion in TARP funding.

But that’s okay, this article is only a month old. No one really expects you to conform your idiocy to reality.

Is this some kind of wingnut code? Your “sarcasm” was my hypocrisy, which was NR’s point. Would you be willing to submit to a battery of psychologial tests?

You oppose torture, but you don’t consider waterboarding torture. Okaaaaay, then.

Funny how the Torquemada did. And the Japanese. And the North Koreans, Chinese and North Vietnamese.

Right winger “Jay Tea” blames a broken contract on Obama at 6:19 AM.

Three hours and 20 minutes later, at 9:39 AM, “Jay Tea” brags that he was one of the right wingers that claimed “that bankruptcy would be a good option for GM, because it would let them break the union contracts”

The News Reference Bot does not do sarcasm well.

Three hours and 20 minutes later, at 9:39 AM, “Jay Tea” brags that he was one of the right wingers that claimed “that bankruptcy would be a good option for GM, because it would let them break the union contracts”

This is the right wing mindset in a nutshell: A willingness to break an inconvenient contract and then blame someone else, a willingness to break the rules (which is what a “contract” is) while simultaneously claiming to be following the rules.

And then to really shove it down your throats right wingers blame anyone but themselves for what they are doing.

Right Winger’s First Rule: Rules Are For Other People.

That’s one true statement.

Baby steps, “Jay Tea”, baby steps…

It was Republican President Bush’s Goldman Sachs crony Hank Paulson who did the pressuring.

The fact that the banks accepted the deal when the banks ‘own Congress’ isn’t the fault of the anonymous “Federal Government” that right winger “Jay Tea” misleadingly tries to pin this on.

It was Republican leaders working in tandem to save their crony bankster buddies.

And thanks for informing me of my positions. I was under the impression that I opposed torture (but didn’t consider waterboarding torture), don’t recall discussing the 5th Amendment, and suggested that the Geneva Conventions are obsolete and don’t apply to non-state actors such as terrorists — but apparently I misunderstood myself.

Ha! Says the guy who sees no problem with torture, subversion of the fifth amendment and ignoring the Geneva conventions.

Clearly they’re not out of money if they can pay Wagoner. Why does the union get fucked on their contract, but he doesn’t?

As far as the banks go… “the banks didn’t have to take the money.” Apparently you missed the news that quite a few banks who didn’t need TARP money were heavily pressured by the federal government to take it to provide cover for those that did need it — and were later denied permission to repay the funds and get off the federal government’s hook.

Sorry you missed those points, Jesse…

Now, of course, it’s so much better: just get the Obama administration on your side. No need for taking the risks of the court ruling against you.
