Waters: Banks 'shaking in their boots' at thought of me as chairwoman

Now I know I didn't insert a quote as the rules require but I think I am off the hook here because the headline had the dang quote in it.Besides my Spam was burning for my Spam and peanut butter sammich so I was rushing. If I get an infraction I'm really gonna be pissed. :lol: OK back to work.
 
This would be why it would be impossible for me to vote (D) next year. My House rep (R) voted for the indefinate detention bill and I wrote him telling him how dissapointed I was in that vote and of course never hear back but I'll never be able to vote for whichever (D) runs against him.
 
Congressional approval ratings can drop to zero and people would still vote to keep republicans in control just to avoid giving lunatics like Waters greater control over our lives. No one I know is yearning for the days when Pelosi and company ran the House. Until the liberals clean the toxic, divisive crackpots out of House leadership positions, they wont be back in charge.
 
The realy sad part is this insane lady really does represent her constituents. East LA is awash with gang bangers, gang bangers moms on welfare with husbands in prison, people on food stamps, welfare and every other gov program known to man.The streets have drug dealers on every corner and if you are white you may not come out alive if you mistakenly end up in this "hood". Unfortunately these people have a voice in our government too and Maxine is who they choose to speak for them.

I just love the irony when someone on the right says something like this, then complains that people call them racist. I wonder why...
 
Here's a Maxine Waters classic



Haven't you heard? No Democrats want to socialize anything or take over any industries. That's just right-wing paranoia.

She is EXACTLY who she represents, and that's unfortunately about half the Democratic party today.

Does that race card get frayed when you use it so many times a day? Do they provide replacements, or do you have to buy new ones all the time?

I have never been there but it's the portrait I've seen many paint concerning the area. Are you saying it's wrong?

You do realize that the post in question was largely about race, right. Is it not legitimate to call someone on saying everything short of "Stupid N***ers"??

I've never been there either, but did you read sawyer's post? He basically said that all the people in a particular area, largely not white, were criminals or on welfare.

Ironically, East LA is not even in Waters' district. So not only was it racially based, it was inaccurate.

It was largely about gang bangers, their welfare moms with husbands in prison and drugs being part of the culture there. The only race comment was if you are white you better watch your ass if you mistakinly end up there. Exactly what part of this is wrong? Heres a couple of links for you to think about.

Again, this is the portrait I've seen many paint of the area. I've not been there, you admit that you haven't been there. Is it wrong? Is this not the case? And if it is, are you saying it's racist to point it out?

I would say that you might have a little more solid footing here. Again though, I don't know what area she represents.

South central LA. East LA , tomAto tomato. Inglewood, Hawthorne, Watts, Compton, it's the same crap but I will admit I heard East LA somewhere, guess I heard wrong but like I said, whatever.

Keep digging. You're not to the bottom of the hole yet.

I think that it does speak to some sort of prejudice when one takes the attitude that everybody who lives in a predominantly non-white area is either a criminal or on welfare. Look at what happened to Sacco and Vanzetti 100 or so years ago. It was assumed that they must be guilty, since they were Italian.

Look at what happens on this board when somebody makes assumptions about somebody because they are conservative or from the South. The cons go ape****, and they're right. Same thing here. "If you live in LA and you're black, you must be a gang banger who voted for Waters." "If you live in Alabama and you voted for Bush, you must have more junked out cars in front of your trailer than you have teeth in your mouth." Same statement when you get right down to it.

And it continues....Black areas...Gang bangers on welfare!
