Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took his GOP-blasting rhetoric to a new level Monday, comparing Republican

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took his GOP-blasting rhetoric to a new level Monday, comparing Republicans who oppose health care reform to lawmakers who clung to the institution of slavery more than a century ago.  

The Nevada Democrat, in a sweeping set of accusations on the Senate floor, also compared health care foes to those who opposed women's suffrage and the civil rights movement. 

"Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right," Reid said. "When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough.'" 

He continued: "When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted they simply, slow down, there will be a better day to do that, today isn't quite right. 

"When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today." 

The history lesson appeared to have some of its partisan wires crossed, however. It was Sen. Strom Thurmond, then a Democrat, who famously and unsuccessfully tried to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1957. And in the 19th Century, it was Republicans who led the charge against slavery.

This IDIOT does not realize that his party was the one who wanted all of these things.

Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and ended slavery.

George Wallace was a democrat as well that fought against civil rights.

In math class you must show your work.

In English class you must show your source for the material.

But in politics and environmental science you can throw out data that does not support your stance. Facts are facts and trillions and trillions are being spent and committed on false assertions.

It is a political power grab plain and simple. The more they control what we do, the more they control their power.

Folks, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it ain't a cow.

We created hundreds of thousands of jobs.... OOPS, wait a second we lied?

We have Global Warming....Crap...someone saw the facts in our own emails?

We will have the most transparent administration in history..... Hell no, they can't see my grades or actual birth certificate.

We will be bi-partisan...Buy them or part with them!

We will control spending... George spent what? Well we can do better than that!

We are looking bad for 2010? Let's soak the rich and use the money to buy votes and call it a jobs bill. We will just make $%#^ up and call it a job. How many votes do you think we will need? Will 700 billion cover it?

I hereby declare the world to be in a period of "Global COOLING," the temperature outside is cooler than last year and the forecast calls for cooler temps in the future.

I declare "myself" an expert and shall and will manipulate any and all data to support my declarations. Anyone disagreeing with me will be demonized and destroyed in the media, for I am the expert and they are mere idiots.

I will cause governments to tremble and commit "trillions" of dollars in an effort to combat global cooling before it destroys the planet by Tuesday of next week.

Any criminal seeking to obtain factual information to disagree with me will be stoned to death, in accordance with Islamic law.

Society must agree with me for I am the expert.

Hey, what the heck, it worked for the global warming crowd. Right?

Global warming has been a hoax for years, this planet cycles like all other planets, so get used to it.

Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organized resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more.

Can you delete any emails you may have had with Keith re AR4?

Keith will do likewise. He's not in at the moment - minor family crisis.

Can you also email Gene and get him to do the same? I don't have his new email address.

We will be getting Caspar to do likewise.

Hard to tell if its the environmental lobby or the present administration. Now they attack the accuser. They need to be thrown in jail for fraud.

Are your commissions under attack?

Where is NAR, when it comes to protecting your hard earned money?

Asset companies think nothing of slashing your commission on a deal and consistently do it on most REO deals being done today. Yet they accepted the deal and make the agent an unwilling financial participant in the deal.

Asset companies follow no rules but expect agents to adhere to the ethics of making the customer happy and not making the deal come unraveled over commissions. The asset company will walk away from a deal in a heartbeat and does if the agent won't cut their pay. Yet the asset company gets paid, regardless of the price. They get management fees, clean up fees and the like, that are seldom if ever used.

Now we have the new HUD coming out January 1, 2010. It is designed to be easier and to hold lenders to a higher standard. Both of which I doubt. Well, get ready to battle for your commissions so the lender can comply with RESPA. They are not entitled to ask you to cut your commission, but we all know what will happen if they are outside the 10% range allowed.

Our commissions and our way of doing business are under attack and I for one believe NAR is not attacking this correct. When you bring a knife to a gun fight, the results are inevitable.

Are Real Estate Agents the only one still required to have ethics and protect the integrity of the deal?

The new office is coming along very nicely. We will be moved in by December 31st, what a great feeling it is to grow for the community. State of the art and full of Real Estate pros, what a way to help Tyler and all of East Texas. Progress happens when you plan and then execute the plan.

I love it.

According to the latest numbers from the Treasury Department, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs are holding the bag on 60 percent of the world's derivatives - an astonishing $120 trillion between them, Still reports.

According to Treasury figures at the end of June, J P Morgan held a staggering $80 trillion in derivative exposure, 50 times more than its $1.6 trillion in assets. Goldman Sachs is in an even more precarious condition. It holds $40 trillion in derivatives backed by assets of only $120 billion - a leverage of 333-to-1.

"To put this into perspective," said Still, "The Gross Domestic Product of the United States is a mere $14 trillion. Even the world GDP is only $65 trillion, and the best estimate of the worth of everything in the world is only $200 trillion. That's how big these numbers are."

"They can't lose because Congress is going to back them. They are privatizing the profits and socializing the losses. Any money they gain from those who actually pay their mortgages, they pocket as profit, but they pass on the bad loans to the government and we, the people, end up paying for them in increased taxes. They can't get any more bankrupt than they are now."

The new KW Tyler Building. We are investing in our community in a big way and are looking forward to the move in late December. The agents have really stepped it up and are selling and listing at a record pace. The new year will bring growth and prosperity to East Texas and we will be leading the way. We are growing while others are pulling back.
