The facts are facts and even the press can't ignore the names and dates, especially if Bush goes out there and makes it news. He came close by calling the current state of the market a hangover from the excesses of the late '90s, but he would do his cause more good to be specific and let the chips fall where they may.
As this article reveals, the Democrats have a lot to be afraid of. By being specific and vocal, he might be able to shut them up, which would allow the market to recover...all in time for the upcoming elections. All he has to do is tell the truth, something he seems to be good at and the previous administration and its remaining lackeys are pathologically incapable of. The truth is something they must run and hide from, for the obvious reasons listed in this article.
However, if the world were a sensible place, men would ride sidesaddle. Bush, the ever-idiotic Karl Rove, and the country-club eunuchs of the RNC have neither the brains or the ballocks to do the right thing..
What the power-Republicans, whom a whimsical God hath placed in command of the GOP, will never understand is that the only THE ONLY chance they ever have of winning votes is to do the right thing and explain it.
Instead, they continue to compromise in the entirely vain hope that they, if they look enough like Demorats, will attract enough of the Demorat base to win.
All the Republicans will succeed in doing is keeping their base at home in disgust, while the Demorats combine their uusal minority groups, women, and vote fraud to sweep the Republicans from the field. Again.
waddaya need, a friggin' map?
