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.

Has it really become too late for honest accounting?
Unionizing does indeed qualify as socialism. But that's not the issue.
The issue is spending money to hire them as a security measure. That act--hiring--is not socialism.
I believe Bush cut the discretionary budgets of all departments except two -- education (not good) and defense(good). That's about 25 or more other departments.
"But that aside, Clinton was an amoral self-centered narcisstic nihilist. When we voted for Bush we were de-electing sleaze"
So how is Bush sleazy? Just because you don't agree with him 100% of the time he is a sleazy guy?
Your reading-comprehension skills need work.
Come back when you can parse my sentences correctly.
BTW - I thought you were a Libertarian. WTF do you care about conservatives?
Your reading-comprehension skills have apparantly been inadequate for an awfully long time.
LOL!
I understand what you mean. Bush's stem cell decision, the waffling on the ICC, and the signing of the CFR bill did it for me. Nonetheless, this particular issue--defense spending--is not something that qualifies him as a Democrat.
You are not alone in your observation.
But after all the problems we have been forced to sholder over the unions and their constant, endless whining and bitching, stealing money from their members and funneling it right to the rats, class warfare smear campaigns, etc, I was very dissapointed when they were "federalized" Unionized.
And all these people who are hired are going to be union. That's just something we didn't need.
The top D in the senate is Zell Miller. He has a ACU rating of 60. In the house, Stenholm of Texas has a rating of 74. Very few other D's are near these ratings and I would not call these ratings very conservative.
Yeah, so, they need work. I ask you again: How is Bush sleazy?
I see a guy doing the best he can against commie liberals and all-or-nothing conservatives. What should he do?
I await your enlightenment. Or are you MoDo in drag?
Nonsense. The Kyoto, arsenic, ABM, and ICC decisions have gotten him clobbered in the world press and in Europe. The expedient thing would have been to go along with the status quo.
Good Lord, what an abject whine-fest this thread is. We're at war. Sorry, but I don't give a flying about the farm bill.
- fragment of old print newspaper article found floating in space, newpaper and author unknown, discovered in 3012 by junior high school children loitering on their way to a picnic on Calisto.
Why? Because the author compared Bush to a democrat (you guys do that daily, doesn't make it so) or because he used words like draconian, or Roosevelt's New Deal? Hit piece by any other name is still a hit piece. Intellectual honesty is a terrible thing to lose. The author wrote all of that to once again keep the connection of Cheney to Halliburton and Bush to Harken still in the public arena.
Concerning the Aug 14th deadline, that was needful. What other way would have satisfied the fact that we needed to know what corp's books were legit in a timely manner? If surgery needs to be done, the cutting can be swift and immediate or strategic and accurate. My hope is that after it's all over my investments and 401k is not at zero after profit revisions.
Let's take your fantasy as true and then follow that with who should replace Bush in 2004 barring his being impeached by all of these disaffected conservatives.
