WASHINGTON, July 28 (UPI) -- When President Franklin Roosevelt, a member of one of the most wealthy and prominent families in America, was constructing the New Deal, which brought forth the Securities and Exchange Commission, strong banking regulation and labor protections, he was excoriated as a traitor to his class. Even one his own family members wrote him to complain.

Huh.
He's gotta control himself a little more. He took an awful cheap shot at Howlin in his graphics once. I know he is a better person than that.
6 months, even a year ago, there were those of us highly critical of the direction Bush was heading, but grassroot Bushbots told us we were evil, and the national GOP leadership was behind everything he did. But now, the cracks in the wall are beginning to show. You can choose to believe I am just Joe Sourpuss, but there are getting to be too many cracks, including on a national level, to ignore.
How much farther left can he go? Bush doesn't care if House goes to Dems, he'll just sign whatever they send him.
You must care or you just like to point fingers. If you don't care then you have no right to complain. Bench sitters do not get to play.

Clinton was an amoral self-centered narcisstic nihilist. When we voted for Bush we were de-electing sleaze, and therefore didn't look quite as closely at who we were voting FOR.
Therefore, Bush is now in office, veering too far to the left in too many areas for your comfort.
What was your comfort? You move to Chicago for a couple of months and you think you know everything .... interesting
Sigh. Put words in people's mouths much?
My point was that bitching about the *farm bill* at this point is just silly.
Good G-d! It's ESCHOIR!!!

Sober up or grow up.
Whichever comes first.
Okay. Sorry. Just a little twitchy with all the zealotry and calls for the wholesale removal of rights I hear lately.
Good night.
Wow, when did our rights get removed?
We don't have to go anywhere, and I predict a lot of people who would normally vote conservative will just not bother. Me, I'm a broken glass voter, unlike a lot of people, but this fall, I am not voting Republican...my first term congressman has gone Washington DC native in less than 2 years. He voted for all sorts of crap...prescription drugs bribe for Medicare, etc. But all Bush is praised for by the bots is quickly vanishing.
The Bush tax cut was, and remains a joke (Total up your total actual tax cut and promised tax cut against the losses in your stock portfolio, then look at government spending under Bush. The stock losses more than offset the tax cut for most people.Don't think people haven't figured this out, either. Including democrats gearing up for the fall campaign.)
BTW, I participate on these boards because I do care, but not because I care about Bush or the current GOP. Neither will advance what is left of a once promising limited government agenda.
Also, Bush orchestrated a massive increase in spending on the department of education, something like a 60% one time increase in spending by bush. They now spend 55-60 billion dollars on a big bureaucracy in washington that doesn't educate anyone. If they took 55 billion dollars and just used it to fund actual schools, then they could send 5.5 million kids to school at ten thousand dollars a head per year.
Personally, I see little difference between Bush and a democrat.
Then you DO care. Who do you want to replace Bush with?
