After hearing that Paulson, and his operatives, emailed the House Republicans plan to Obama’s camp (according to Rush), I am wondering if Paulson (a known Democrat) did not conjure this whole mess as a political ploy to insure Obama’s election! Even if Paulson was not responsible for the leak of the Republican plan, he is still a Democrat, and as such taxpayers should still be highly suspicious.
The timing of this so called “crisis” is just too opportunistic for Democrats. I do think they have been surprised by the public outcry over their thievery (via the potential funds for ACORN, La Raza, & Urban League). I think they thought this would just sail past everyone like their institutionalized thievery has done in the past.
Scary thing is this smacks of deep strategery. This ACORN nonsense is put in, it coagulates opposition around that one point. Dems agree to remove it leaving the content of the bill intact. If the whole thing collapses, Dems can claim that Repubs are racist etc. in opposing ACORN.
Of course it was no accident. And it's apparent that they didn't want McCain involved either. The big question is why Bush is in favor of it. His little 4th grade explanation last week was useless. I can only hope that his apparent complacency is part of a larger strategy - he has been known to get the 'rats to go "all in" and then trump them on occasion.
