..”And on topic, the RNC/GOP “leadership” – people like McCain – are nowhere to be found in bringing these facts to public awareness. As usual…”
Wait a minute. Do you work for OsterGAG in OMB? Because you sound a lot like it. If, as you say, the Tom Delay led congressional majority was so fiscally repsonsible – “Republican deficits for 2004 through 2007 were $413B, $318B, $248B and $160B… A clear, fiscally responsible trend” – Why in your view did Republicans lose congress?
Sure, the MSM was compliant in assisting Dems when it came to excoriating Bush – particularly on Iraq. But only because Bush was so poorly served (and refused to fire anyone responsible) when executing the war.
By claiming such outlandish bull – you are living in the past Goy. It stunk when dingbats like Fred Barnes were trying to sell such clap trap with his REBEL-IN-CHIEF homage in ’06. Why would anybody listen now just because you insist ‘it’s the truth’ – look it up?
So much of the war was being ‘charged’ – NOT EVEN PAID FOR! – outside of the congressional budget. This is what passes for ‘accounting’ in Washington. Even the suggestion that the Gingrich led folks ‘balanced’ anything is spurious.
The Gingrich led majority did give us the prosperous ninties – on this we can agree. Of course Obama is a liar- again a point of agreement. But as his recent trashing performance proves – done in OUR HOSUE at the invitation of Bonner, Pense, & Cantor – he’s a very gifted liar who holds the presidency – and thus a political force de jur.
The president was treated with the utmost civility and respect at this C-Span televised event – and what did he do? He did what he always does in front of a camera – put on the political spectacle and the facts be damned.
Bush came into office under a cloud – and once he gained a congressional majority – and – 9/11 transformed his mission in office – he abdicated fiscal sanity – both at home and abroad.
His Father put together a coalition to fight Desert Storm – the europeans and Japanese helped us pay for that war. Not so after 9/11 – for many different reasons – not the least of which was how much money the europeans were making with Sadass in power.
With the Runsfeld/Cheney led privatization of the military – where we’ve had between a three to one or two to one ratio of contractors to military from day one – the Bush/Delay governing vision proved WRONG WRONG WRONG!
IT WAS BAD FOR THE COUNTRY AND RUNIOUS FOR OUR PARTY. Which, by the way was why the people kicked the Republican majority to the curb in ’06 buddy. And here you go again Goy – trying to make a run at setting the ‘historical’ record straight with some lengthy digression that completely misses the reality on the ground for some fog of war ancient argument.
And I and other should listen to you try and sell that it’s the ‘so called leadership’ now!!!
We area all living in the aftermath of the destruction of the Republican party by George Bush and Tom Delay – not that different from a couple of years removed from Katrina as if we lived in the 9th Ward when she roared in.
You can go on cutting and pasting your version of the facts from 2000 on until TARP became a dreaded reality, sounding like a barely on the wagon alcoholic ranting on a dry drunk at an AA meeting.
The rest of us are more interested with pressing concerns, like defeating Obamination.
