Yeah they misread it...even though they made it sound like the sky was falling before the stimulus was passed....what they misread was the fact that the sky was NOT falling and there actually was NO NEED for the stimulus in the first place. They have some nerve to even THINK of doing a 2nd one. Morons (and that is being nice).
They took what they inherited and added 9 trillion dollars to it ... it’s theirs and they own it ....
Shows how inadequate they are.
Still saying that old ‘inherited’ crap.
Well this s*** is getting old.
What will it be next time around you dunce.
You and your cohorts are running out of time
and excuses.
Thanks for all that work on this post Michael Eden.
A whole lot of us called it. Some including me felt this would be their mantra within a month of Ostammer taking office. Others said he'd claim about 3 or 4 months in when they announced new taxes. Still others said it would be when they realized their humongous spending was not helping the economy. And at various points we were all right, but congrats to the 6 month post-spending guessers.
Thanks for saying that, Tribal Princess.
My view is that conservatives had darn well better have a response to all this “inherited” crap or else.
I watch even Fox news, and the Democrats on the panel continuously say “Let’s not forget that we inherited this economy due to failed conservative policies.” And there’s little by way of a response.
If you don’t understand the past, you are doomed to repeat it. And Democrats are ALREADY imposing the VERY WORST failures of the past on our future.
Well, my question is how far do things have to go before they’re convicted of their crimes. Take John Murtha, for example, and his public-record condemnation of the Haditha marines W/O even an investigation... Just what does one of these guys have to do to get convicted of treason?
Great post, and true in every respect I can see.
Thanks, maybe some here will take notice of it. Everytime conservatives blame Bush for this to prove HOW conservative they are, it helps Obama.
The blame lies squarely on the Democratic Party for the crash of 2008.
Don’t forget that the wild speculation in oil ($140/barrel)triggered by tree huggers taking control of the Congress, was the match that lit the economic fire.
Biden....”yep yep, I’m an idiot and there’s nothing you can do about”. THROW THESE CLOWNS OUT OF OFFICE.
I think Democrats were using this argument during the election.
Certainly, even as Republicans and Democrats were trying to vote on the TARP back in late September, Nancy Pelosi was out in front of the microphones demonizing “failed Republican policies.”
That first vote failed as Republicans rejected it in the wake of Pelosi’s attack.

Between the media being a leftist propaganda machine and the Republicans’ seeming complete inability to stand up for themselves or for conservative principles, you never hear much of a response to Democrats’ false attacks.
Can we get about 2 million voters to say that they misread Barry and Slow-Joe’s platform and want to “hit the reset button” on the November election?

I had to find it: I wrote an article about the real reason oil prices dropped last year:
http://startthinkingright.wordpress.com/2008/07/29/democrats-demagogue-and-lie-about-oil-as-usual/
Bottom line: Bush ended the ban on domestic oil, and oil began to drop dramatically:
To quote myself: “Within two days of Bush’s signing the executive order, the price of oil dropped from nearly $145 a barrel to $130.73 a barrel. And within four days, it had dropped to $128.88.”
Now, we ask WHY it took Bush that dang long to end that stupid ban. But what we CAN’T do is wonder if Republicans are as crazy on banning domestic oil as Democrats. NO ONE IS AS CRAZY AS DEMOCRATS ON ANYTHING.
Somehow, conservatives - who dominate the country in actual numbers - have to a) vote, and b) unite behind conservative candidates. Those “conservatives” who damn Republicans make Democrats - who are on the verge of completely destroying America (all hyperbole aside) - VERY, VERY happy. That SHOULD say something.
Agreed.
Industrial mortgage defaults are the next chit to hit the fan. And there isn’t a Republican in charge of anything now to blame.
Thanks very much.
I don’t claim to have the best ideas. Frankly, nothing would make me happier than to see conservatives coming out with articles providing even MORE dynamite to the liberal lies blaming us for the catastrophe their policies created.
But SOMETHING like what I’ve written here has to get out to conservatives. We’ve GOT to win THIS argument (whose policies were REALLY to blame for the economic crash?).
We need to return to the principles of conservatism, federalism, and basic smaller government. But the ONLY way we can get there is to point out the lying frauds Democrats and their giant government “solutions” truly are.
The only way things will change is if the economy gets so bad that the majority of the nation turn on the Democrats.
Unfortunately that means a total meltdown - thats what it will take before libtards will quit blaming Reaganomics.
I’ve got an article coming out tomorrow that cites the “Cloward-Piven strategy” in which I conclude with my fear that Obama is pursuing a “heads we win, tails you lose” approach.
If the economy (miraculously) recovers, the Democrats win big and Republicans, (conservatives, and common sense) lose big. But if we have a dramatic meltdown (far more likely), there is a real possibility that people will scream for the government to help them survive the crisis that liberals and government created, and again, Democrats would win big.
Bad people make truly stupid decisions, and I truly fear that we are becoming a bad people.
