Timeline shows Bush, McCain warning Dems of financial and housing crisis; meltdown
Youtube ^ | 9-24-08 | Proud To Be Canadian

Posted on 02/14/2010 5:10:04 PM PST by bigbob

The Bush Admin and Senator McCain warned repeatedly about Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac and what thus became the 2008 financial crisis -- starting in 2002 (and actually even earlier -- in the Clinton and Carter White Houses. Democrats resisted and kept to their party line, extending loans to people who couldn't afford them -- just like you would expect of socialists.

“I don’t “think” he’s pro-life. I KNOW he’s pro-life, as do all the pro-life organizations who have honored him for his unwavering support of the unborn.”

So, you are a mind reader?

“(And you have proven by your not knowing that you, indeed are not pro-life..... as I suspected).”

I’m pro-life. I’m just not certain Bush is.

“Now leave me alone. I can’t stand ignorant blowhards. The death of a brain is a terrible thing to observe...... and yours is long gone.”

Maybe so, but at least I do not make political decisions based on whether or not I think the politician is attractive.

“Indeed. And the truth will stand against this kind of assault.”

You are blind to the truth when it comes to your idol.

The first two politicians I supported (as a teen-ager, no less)........

Both OBVIOUSLY chosen because they were so stunningly attractive. I confess to the above charge.

ROFLOL!

Oh..........and I should add, that while as a teenaged girl I picked candidates based on attractiveness (see above), since I've been an adult, I have chosen my candidates based on their CHARACTER.....

And that's something that those inflicted with BDS will never understand as long as they live.

You say that while presenting PR photos of Bush trying to compare him with Reagan. LOL. It’s never about agenda or issues or ideology with folks like you, is it? Just about image.

Reagan was a conservative. He at least understood that government is the problem. Bush only say it as the solution.

Character, morality, integrity, honesty, courage......

BOTH men! FAR more masculine and honorable than the dweebs posing as conservatives who attack from their computers, safe and squishy at home.

I thank God daily for BOTH men!

Your protestations to the contrary, it is all about “image” with you. You defend absolutely contemptible polices because you like the guy’s crafted PR image. It’s no different from the antics of Obama supporters. Doesn’t matter what he does to you at all. It’s the very definition of a cult of personality.

I have ALWAYS been into the cult of personality....

But I certainly do find your fantasies and absurd accusations amusing.

You don't know squat.......and you're proud of it.

That makes you dangerous.

No more from me. I've tweaked your monstrous ego and slimy arrogance enough for the moment....

See ya.

If you have a life outside your ridiculous lies here, have a nice one.

This one is for the record.

I have had 'conversations' with this posseur before. I have given him a long list of conservative activism I have engaged in over the decades, and he has replied with nothing.

There is only one conservative activist between the two of us, and it isn't this guy.

He's a phony.

LOL... “Slimey arrogance”? You’ve made a career out of insulting conservatives who take issue with your favorite liberal’s behavior. You condescend. You demean. You accuse us of suffering from some sort of mental illness for pointing out the truth.

Pot, kettle, lady.

I will continue to tell the truth about liberals regardless of whatever party they are a member of. Bush was a terrible President from a very liberal family. I’ve had enough of them. I’ve even listened to their heir apparent - Jeb’s son and he’s a racist, anti-American, POS.

The whole family is little better than the Kennedy’s.

That the current twerp is worse is no praise of your fantasy.

I have a real job. My time is spent ensuring our people have the best gear. Working as a volunteer for a Republican is nice and all, but stumping for liberals like you do wipes any of that away. You want to be taken seriously by real conservatives? STOP DEFENDING A LIBERAL.

You never had a real job, that I can tell, and I believe you always pontificate that people are to ping those they talk about.

I’ll let you go back to your knitting circle.

In other words, you have never lifted a finger to actually ELECT a conservative.

I have in the past, and am continuing to do so now. Conservatives, son.

(And I have two jobs at the present moment. You can keep making things up, but the more you do, the dumber you look. Most people who work for conservatives also have jobs).

Now you get to work in actually being a conservative, and not just pretending to be one on the Internet. Your only 'credential' is that you hate President Bush.

So does every radical leftist in the world. Doesn't mean squat to real conservatives.

Get to work. Stop being a phony.

“In other words, you have never lifted a finger to actually ELECT a conservative.”

I donated money. I have good conservative representation already.

“I have in the past, and am continuing to do so now. Conservatives, son.”

There's that condescension again. You continue to defend a liberal here. Why is that?

“Now you get to work in actually being a conservative, and not just pretending to be one on the Internet. Your only ‘credential’ is that you hate President Bush.”

I dislike all liberals.

“So does every radical leftist in the world. Doesn't mean squat to real conservatives.”

Bush wasn't a conservative of any kind. He was their best ally. They were just too stupid to realize it. Perhaps someday you'll realize that. Frankly, I'd just as soon YOU be saddled with the debt he rang up just like I'd like to see Obama voters billed exclusively for him.

“Get to work. Stop being a phony.”

I live in a conservative state. I'm not sure you do. Conservative != Republican. Start with that one and move on. Bush was as bad as McCain. There's another truth. Both parties are out for themselves, not for us and you can't believe what ANY politician says. There's yet another one. Eventually, you'll grow up politically and not be so simplistic to believe that PR and pretty pictures (I've been pointed to the old Day in the Life threads) means that the politician likes you and is a your friend.

Stop being a “fan” and start not trusting them. It's the cornerstone of liberty!

LOL! None of that means anything if you don't do any work to elect conservatives.

What are you afraid of? Are you a coward, or just lazy?

I'll tell you one thing, next to George W. Bush, you're not a conservative at all.

He spent every waking moment from 9/11 on defending and protecting this country from terror. (And you did exactly what?)
He protected the lives of the unborn (and you don't know a thing about it).
He nominated a whole slew of conservative judges to the federal bench and two outstanding SC Justices who are holding the country together right now.
He was one of the finest Commanders in Chief our military has ever had and they loved him.

And you have done NOTHING.

Case closed. You're a phony. Geroge W. Bush is the real deal.

Now either get to work for conservatism or shut your mouth.

addendum: President Bush also stood up against the UN, defending the sovereignty of America, stood against the Kyoto Treaty and stood against the World Court.

No small accomplishment. In fact, powerfully conservative accomplishments.

(None of which his bashers can deny).

“None of that means anything if you don’t do any work to elect conservatives.”

You attack conservatives to defend liberals.

“Are you a coward, or just lazy?”

Look to your own knitting, Ohio. Obambi carried YOUR state, not MINE.

“I’ll tell you one thing, next to George W. Bush, you’re not a conservative at all.”

Based on your lionization of the man and immunity from reality, you are in no position to judge.

“He spent every waking moment from 9/11 on defending and protecting this country from terror. (And you did exactly what?)”

He spent every waking moment trying to surrender us from Mexico. I defend myself and mine from “terror”, not Washington and not a rich kid from the North East. He ordered our soldiers on the border to WITHDRAW if faced with the Mexican Army crossing the border. He saw no trouble in allowing JAG-run-wild to railroad soldiers and Marines for doing their jobs. He was almost as PC as they come and the reason we are still in this war is that he refused to name the enemy.

“He protected the lives of the unborn (and you don’t know a thing about it).”

How? Abortion is still legal. His wife is pro-abortion.

“He nominated a whole slew of conservative judges to the federal bench and two outstanding SC Justices who are holding the country together right now.”

He had to be forced on one of them. As I recall, he unleashed quite a bit of venom over it at his OWN SUPPORTERS.

“He was one of the finest Commanders in Chief our military has ever had and they loved him.”

You’ve asked everyone, then?

“And you have done NOTHING.”

You’ve done squat by the same measure. In fact, less so. I work in the defense industry. You are an retired half-professor of what, exactly?

“Now either get to work for conservatism or shut your mouth.”

You first and take your 6 trillion in debt with you. The only thing you want to “conserve” is big government and the nanny state. Disgusting.

Phony. Get to work. BE a conservative.

And don't post back to me until you've accomplished something for conservatism.

Good night.
