I would rank GW Bush as the WORST president in US history, certainly the worst the Republican Party ever had to put forward.
This is his last hand of poker, and I predict it will be a good one. No way does he, in his heart of hearts, support a straight bailout. I’m fortunate to have as my congressman Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee who is one of the true conservatives standing against this steamrolling attempt. I just emailed to let her know she has my support.
I DO think this whole mess is a well-orchestrated GAME being played with America’s future. I’m sure none of those a-holes in Congress are worried about the financial future of this country. They are willing to let it go to hell in a handbag if it means they will be re-elected to “FIX” the problem “THEY” created. They probably have all of their gazillions in foreign banks. Even if they lose a lot of money, they will still have a lot and control the system which ensures they regain their losses. They are EVIL.
This is another instance of the dems being about politics as ususal. We have Obama and the dems supporting the BUSH BAILOUT, while John McCain is about CHANGE and fresh ideas.
You can’t imagine? Really? The guy’s about to become the most valuabe free agent in the world. You don’t think he wanst a nice cushy place on Wall Street to set up shop?
I agree. I think this was orchestrated to sucker the Dems into putting forward a pork-laden reward-the-guilty failout. And McCain has ridden to the rescue.
This isn’t Poker. It’s Bridge. Bush laid a low trump and McCain had all the picture cards.
Everybody and anybody can be a ‘conservative’. Look at Mitt Romney, life long, from a liberal family, institutes Romney state People's Republik socialist care of one of the few growing industries in Massachusetts. He's now ‘Mr. Conservative.” Lindsey Gram, and John McCain.
The GOP has always been a big government party. Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Hoover, Eisenhower, Nixon, Bush I and II.
“W” is not a Ronald Reagan Republican.
He’s more of a Ronald Reagan JUNIOR “republican”.
You can count on him to be conservative on social issues only (most social issues).
That's it!
The brilliant "Compasionate Conservative" has set a trap that will sink the Democrat's raft & make a Katrina like storm blow them off the face of the earth.
As soon as McCain / Palin are elected, GWB will take speaking lessons to enable him to make dough on the speaking circut.
Yeah ... that must be it.
..but too many disappointments leave me distrustful that this is 'superior gamemanship' as you seem to think.
I fear it's something much more nefarious with Bush.....something is afoot.
I am PRAYING it’s a SET-UP!!
Methinks you would be wrong. I voted for Bush 4 times but I'm sad to say he's gone over to the dark side. I wrote him off a while back with his turning a blind eye to illegals and I haven't seen anything in any of his decisions in the last few years to change my mind. Papa Bush is now Bubba's new adopted daddy and is sitting pretty at all the family gatherings. Yes, the Bush family has all gone over to the dark side.
In many respects, Bush is a weak man and a feckless leader. He is rattled by the crisis and has delegated its resolution to Bernanke and Paulson. Bush is selling their plan, which includes many elements designed to appeal to the Democratic leadership in Congress at the expense of Republicans. The House Republican rebellion is well founded.
I'm tempted to call you some names for your failure to understand what the problem is. But I won't. Let's have a real discussion.
What do YOU think the problem is?
What is YOUR solution?
How about looter man with money instead of beer
running to offshore numbered accounts?
The longer this remains a problem, the more we learn about Dodd, Frank, et al.
If the October surprise came down to this being a GWB-McCain setup or the ‘whitey’ tape, then give me the ‘whitey’ tape.
Bush was never a fiscal conservative. He was always for big govt. We were fooled in 2000 because since he was for much bigger tax cuts than mccain, therefore he must be a real conservative.
I want to believe that President Bush pushed for this legislation to bring to light exactly who caused this mess, the DEMS, and to let McCain name names to the American public will know the truth about what the DEMS are trying to do with this economy legislation. McCain has the ball now and I hope he comes out swinging and names names!
