The IMF warned on Saturday that the global financial system was on the brink of meltdown, while France and Germany pushed ahead with a pan-European crisis response to try to prevent the worst global downturn in decades.

At a joint news conference, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel said they had "prepared a certain number of decisions" to present at a Sunday meeting of European leaders as they work feverishly to restore blocked credit markets to working order.

The United States appealed for patience, but the International Monetary Fund stressed that time was running short after leading industrialized nations failed to agree on concrete measures to end the crisis at a meeting on Friday.

"Intensifying solvency concerns about a number of the largest U.S.-based and European financial institutions have pushed the global financial system to the brink of systemic meltdown," IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said.

BHO making foreign policy will just mirror the Clinton's. I guess Pappy is telling us BHO is going to put the screws to one party and not all Americans. <G> Intersting policy, can't wait to read it.

You didn't read my words.

In response to who said we would be screwed if Obama made the country's policies, I replied that only the Republicans would be screwed. Democrats will welcome the change from eight years of total economic mismanagement.

Okay, PAPPY, I've spent decades studying the nuances of the English language. What is the difference between what you initially said (unquoted quote), what Janedoe said you said (first quoted quote above) and what you just said you said (second quoted quote above)?

It's 4:30 a.m., and I've given myself a headache trying to figure it out over the past 32 hours. I should be counting sheep now. I think several of 'em are missing.

Yes, Petunia, but unlike Democrats, the wolves at least leave me enough to make a nice warm sweater to keep me warm when the tax bill comes due and I can't afford to pay the power bill.

Pappy, I know that you are at least right about what I said.  Yes, I beleive that we will be screwed if Obama makes the policies, but I am Republican because of the Democratic policies.  It's not that I dislike Democratic policies because I am a Republican.  (Did I explain that correct?)

This thread's topic is interesting though, don’t you think? Being a democrat doesn’t make one a liberal just like being republican doesn’t necessarily make one a conservative. There are the blue dog democrats. Mostly democrats from the south who vote fairly conservative. The same with republicans from the north and the western states who tend to be more like "Rockefeller Republicans". Honestly the way it seems these days any democrat who comes forward is attacked as a liberal.... period. I seriously doubt that if Strom Thurmond, Olin D. Johnston, or Zel Miller could be elected in this county because at one time they were democrats and therefore must be apart of the JRP and Gang of Five/BHO conspiracy to take over America.
