The Vast Dubya & DeLay Conspiracy

June 30, 2003

Depending on where you go and in what circles you travel, conservatives are livid with the Bush administration. Some, more so than others, are furious over the size of the federal budget, the failing to rein in any kind of spending, tax cuts for people who don't pay taxes, the Medicare prescription drug benefit, the list continues - and there’s a great deal of head scratching going on.

I came across an Associated Press story over the weekend that attempts to shed some light on what’s happening, which you can hear me read in the audio links below. However, the story seems to imply there’s a conspiracy between the White House and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas.

Here’s just one excerpt: “DeLay has become the most identifiable representative of the party's right wing, and the two Texans have had a sometimes scrappy relationship. Clashes may become more frequent as Bush moves beyond his current phase of fund raising among loyal Republicans and shifts his attention to the general electorate, analysts suggest. At the same time, Bush and his advisers are mindful that if they go too far, they could alienate conservatives whose support he needs. ‘Bush is carefully picking and choosing his fights,’ said GOP consultant Scott Reed. ‘There's a healthy back and forth between the White House staff and DeLay that is mutually beneficial to both.’”

The story continues to suggest that Bush is telling DeLay to go ahead and stop what he’s trying to do - on purpose. The idea being that Bush can thus claim credit for supporting whatever measure, while DeLay and other conservatives can point to victory for blocking its ultimate passage. A caller later asked: “Isn't this the same strategy that Bush used on campaign finance reform, only he is counting on the Supreme Court to shoot it down?” You can hear my answer below.

I can't remember one time Dick Morris has been right.

Excellent post....a real keeper!

[Marysecretary]

Good analogy, Oddither. Thanks. M

[Marysecretary]

Probably. After all, look what they did to Jesus?

Upstate New York is a goldmine. Besides yardsales there are 100's of old farm houses that end up in estate auctions. Normal return is 3 to 5 times the money spent.

I try for smalls as it is easier to ship. The furniture is either sent to a different auction or sold to a client if I buy a whole estate out.

I just use the client list to get rid of the items. I allso use some local ebayers that list stuff for me. Ebay was good for the client list years ago. Now be honest listing is a real pain? LOL

I haven't paged through all the responces, and don't know if anybodys mentioned THIS, so let me say one word:

Triangulation

[TLBSHOW]

That seems to be one step ahead to 3 steps backwards. At that rate we can kiss conservative issues goodbye. While advancing the liberals BS.

[Amelia]

Great post! It deserves its own thread, IMO.

[Marysecretary]

Well, it's a good thought, but do you have anyone in mind who could win such an election?

[Marysecretary]

Yes, Todd, I know we would. It's soo much fun to lash out at the Clintons. I've become addicted to it. And, that being said, I know it's not right for me to continually do that either. But, I do like Bush and I know he's the best man for the job right now. I don't even know another conservative who could do the job. Do you? Have you any names?

[Marysecretary]

I'm a dealer, too, Miss Marple. I handle mostly smalls. Used to have a pretty good business with primitives, antique tools, staffordshire ABC plates and mugs, kids stuff. We were pretty well known for that. Got out of it for the most part but still do the Madison Bouckville show once a year. I love antiques but my husband doesn't like all the lugging and unpacking. Then they have to be packed up again and put in the cellar. Lots of work for us old folks. M

[Marysecretary]

Me either, Howlin. He's amusing.

[cyncooper]

I am repelled by your misrepresentation of President Bush's stance on abortion and to say he has attempted to make us "feel all warm and fuzzy" as if he has done some minimum thing and is through with that issue.

That is as false as can be and he has never claimed as you allege. He wishes to advance the prolife cause and the rhetoric you desire will not achieve it.

[Sir Gawain]

And you wonder why people don't take you seriously.

Actually, some in your clique take him seriously enough to follow him from thread to thread.

[deport]

So what you're saying is that you sell cheap stuff to sucker "clients".......

or when the suckers don't buy he wears it to a freep... note the prison uniform he's wearing on his profile page..... or the hat he wore at cooperstown..... Yep if you can't sucker them in wear it.....

[TLBSHOW]

prison uniform was from freeper Doctor Raoul and the hat is from an estate action! LOL

[Joe Hadenuf]

Well, it's a good thought, but do you have anyone in mind who could win such an election?

Are you kidding, I don't know anyone with 50 million dollars or that are corrupt enough......

[Miss Marple]

As opposed to YOUR clique, which follows him from thread to thread attacking his critics.

Pot calling kettle, etc.

[Carolinamom]

When can we expect your opus, Adventures at FreeRepublic.com (promised "Coming soon" on your profile page)?

Great post! It deserves its own thread, IMO.
