Give it rest. The Commies have their act together and the Conservatives are infiltrated by newborn liberals called Republicans.

Whose side are YOU on?

GWB 2002 Speech :”More and more people own their homes in America today. Yet we have a problem here in America because fewer than half the Hispanics and African Americans own their own homes. That’s a home ownership gap; a gap that we got to work together to close. And by the end of this decade we’ll increase the number of minority homeowners (future Obama voters ) by 5.5 million families.
...
“One of the major obstacles to minority home-ownership is financing. Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac (who I will bail out in 2008) have committed to provide more money for lenders, they committed to meet the shortage of capital available for minority home-buyers. Freddie Mac just began 25 initiatives around the country to dismantle barriers (like income requirements) and create better opportunities for home-ownership. One of the programs is designed to help families with bad credit histories to qualify for home ownership loans (by faking their income) . You don’t have to have a lousy home for first time home-buyers. You put your mind to it the first time low income home buyer can have just as nice a house as anyone else (till those adjustable rates go up). “

Can you read? That was from 2002. He changed his position. Obviously he got better info. There was a bill in 2005 or 06 to control Fannie and Freddie and it was shot down by Dems too.

Whether you like it or not Bush tried to stop what was coming.

RE :”Whose side are YOU on? “

In your imaginary world Bush is running again and us repeating those many years old lame excuses for Bush that failed for 6 years will suddenly work now?

Bush got us Obama and Pelosi. Now amount of creative fiction will undo that.

Like I said, Dubya was a long sight better than Obama. His position on rewarding bad behavior with “comprehensive immigration reform” though was flat wrong. Do you want that in espanol, amigo?

You didn't answer. Whose side are you on?

Bush got us Obama and Pelosi.

Nope. It usually goes "R", "D", "R". It's the pattern.

The lousy, spinless, foolish Republican Congress got us Pelosi.

The Fannie and Freddie that followed his mission to give millions of bad loans?

By 2006 it was too late. House prices had run up to unsustainable levels and were at a peak. It was going down and all those minorities w bad credit were the first to go.

Do we give Obama a free pass too?
‘The GOP opposed him so he has no responsibility’

Pretty transparent.

Easy, not the BUSH’s side for sure
I refuse to lie to defend him which would be hopeless anyway.

Your amusing rhetoric question does bring back fond memories

"Either you are with us
 or you are for the terrorists."
~~George W. Bush

“Do you prefer Kerry or Gore?”
That’s not insulting?

No more Bushs! Have a good ‘un crazy lady.

Where did I lie? I posted a link from 2003. You posted one from 2002. He changed his mind obviously.

That's not a response. It's a copout.

I take it that you're backtracking on the accusation. Good.

Goodnight.

Reading this thread brings to mind the task of teaching pigs to sing.

George W. Bush wasn’t perfect, he had flaws. But some people are simply so blinded by hatred and God knows what else that they are incapable of seeing the larger picture.

I have observed there are people on FR that seem to have a lot more common ground with the Code Pinkos we saw outside Walter Reed than they have with many Freepers.
