--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s not the first time I’ve made this observation, neither am I the first to make it — but ain’t it funny how, whenever a Republican disgraces himself and his party with his performance in office, the wingnuts suddenly realize he’s not a true conservative after all!
____________________

I await the moment that someone at Fox news &quot;accidentally&quot; puts a (D) next to Bush&#039;s name. Then I&#039;ll know the latest batch of Kool-aid&#039;s been allllll drunked up.</description>

		<description>So Bush was treated as if he were king of America for 8 years while he gave national treasure and resources to his corporate friends and donors, but now he is a paraiah?  Not because his policies were illegal, unethical, immoral, deceitful and unconstutional - but because he opened the door to big government?
Bush can be compared to Hoover - because, like Nero, he fiddled while the nation burned.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s funny how these people think their opinions are still relevant.  Their method has been tried, and it has failed.  Case closed, moving on...

&lt;em&gt;PatrioticLiberalChristian Says: 

I’m tired of the “big government” vs. “little government” argument. It’s next to meaningless.&lt;/em&gt;

Absolutely.  We need to move into a new politics where we are discussing the Return On Investment of spending plans, rather than just &quot;more&quot; or &quot;less.&quot;  Hopefully, the age of Faith-Based Economics is well and truly over.

But to make sure that happens, we can&#039;t give up keeping the heat on the &quot;economic conservatives&quot; to get away with their lies.  Just because we&#039;ve won, doesn&#039;t mean we&#039;ve won &lt;em&gt;enough&lt;/em&gt; yet to ensure that America is safe from such monsters.  These people need to be called on their crap, every time.  As somebody or other once said, we should &quot;make them famous&quot; whenever they open their misbegotten yaps.</description>

		<description>what blackwell meant to say (if he was concerned with honesty) is much like in the hoover years, years of &lt;strong&gt;DISASTEROUS&lt;/strong&gt; rapeublican economy policy has once again resulted in democrats having to fix the mess. it&#039;s like a game of &quot;hot potato&quot; with these assclowns...the one in charge at the end of the mess (in this case dummya) takes the heat for the entire party.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Bush’s policies didn’t change from when they were enthusiastically supporting him (he’s not all that big on change), all that happened was that the inevitable consequences of those policies came to fruition.&lt;/em&gt;

Good observation, ralph.  The Republicans are still a long way from learning that a government run by conservative policies does not benefit its citizens as a whole, only the wealthiest among them.  Keep in mind, also, that these are people who equate social worth with financial worth.  If you are rich, you must be doing something &quot;good&quot;.  They don&#039;t think it&#039;s possible to have more money than you could ever spend in your lifetime, and this is why they fight so hard for those few dozen families in this country that have more wealth than many third world nations.</description>

		<description>The Bush Financial Rescue Plan is Obama&#039;s?  FRP....

And where was Repug Senator Bob Corker when GMAC&#039;s commercial bank application got approved and they got $6 billion in funds?  Why wasn&#039;t he hammering Cerberus then?  

This is all political drama, front stage behavior to amuse the masses.  Meanwhile, corporations and government officials rip off taxpayers back stage.</description>
