@57. Phoenix48: – Why in your view did Republicans lose congress?
Anyone paying attention throughout Bush’s administration knows why the Republicans lost Congress. The Democrats and the Left Wing Media took every conceivable opportunity to attack them – misrepresenting the economy, the situation in Iraq, the abysmal State and local response to Katrina, privatization of S.S., the facts that led up to the war… name a significant issue. It started when the New York Times cheerfully published Joe Wilson IV’s lies and it got steadily more shrill from there until the miraculously well-timed credit meltdown 5+ years later.
And in response the world heard… nothing.
But of course that’s an entirely different issue (why the Republicans lost Congress). And the fact that you’re trying to steer the discussion AWAY from a dissection of BHO’s serial lies makes one wonder who you’re working for? OFA? ACORN? Soros? Do tell.
- Sure, the MSM was compliant in assisting Dems when it came to excoriating Bush …
This is a laugh riot. Were you even conscious during the years 2004-2008?
The Left Wing Media wasn’t merely “compliant”, sport, they were leading the charge: exposing national security secrets, openly discussing the best ways to defeat our troops’ technology, misrepresenting the “warrantless wiretap” issue, hyperventilating over Korans in toilets, attacking Gonzales for doing exactly what Clinton’s AG had done under slightly different timing parameters, daily misrepresenting every factoid that leaked from Fitzgerald’s years-long fishing-expedition-cum-politically-motivated-administration-witch-hunt, completely ignoring ANYTHING positive that occurred in Iraq, parroting the absurd and scientifically fraudulent claims about computer-modeled predictions of civilians killed in Iraq, pumping up the myth of the “back door draft”, virtually canonizing Giuliana Sgrena, committing outright photographic fraud, going relentlessly apoplectic over an isolated incident at Abu Ghraib, Eason Jordan’s hysterical, cowardly, slanderous attacks against American forces… and that’s just what I can recall off the top of my head. It went on day and night, non-stop, for 5 straight years. “Compliant” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
- By claiming such outlandish bull …
Which “outlandish bull” is this, exactly? The facts are the facts. BHO has openly lied about the Democrats’ fiscal policy.
- … here you go again Goy – trying to make a run at setting the ‘historical’ record straight with some lengthy digression …
Hardly. But obviously what I wrote struck a raw nerve in your brain. The record is the record. And pointing to that record so that people understand how and why we suddenly find ourselves with a prevaricating, marxist president is a perfectly valid aspect of correcting the situation.
- We area all living in the aftermath of the destruction of the Republican party by George Bush and Tom Delay …
Exactly. And supporting people who are functionally and morally equivalent isn’t going to reverse that outcome.
- The rest of us are more interested with pressing concerns, like defeating Obamination.
Really? Because from the looks of things, and scanning a sample of your posts on this site, it appears that what you’re really interested in is just another cycle of the pendulum. Like Rick Moran. Part of defeating BHO and his ilk involves demonstrating their consistently deceitful behavior. Lying about and blaming the world’s ills on Bush has worked for the Democrats for 7 years – partly because of useful idiots like you who’ve clearly bought into every Left Wing Media lie about his management of the war, for instance. It’s a winning formula for them. It will go ON working with a significant portion of the electorate as long as the Republican leadership continues to shirk its responsibility to respond to those lies. And none of your half-as-much attempts to mimic “skeeziks”‘ colorful but ultimately impotent slander are going to change that.

@58. “skeeziks”: – Re-read #46 and go “Oh.”
Why? Even if your backpedaling attempt at deflection were to be given full credit, the comment you refer to wasn’t made by the President of the United States. Unable to defend BHO’s lie, you now try to deflect to someone else. Someone you fear. Lame.
What’s more, you picked a pretty self-defeating example. Despite some people’s opinion that Palin’s choice of terms was hyperbolic, it wasn’t inaccurate, let alone a lie. A group of unelected bureaucrats who will determine your chances of receiving adequate health care is certainly a “death panel”… to someone facing imminent demise if – according to policy advisers like eugenicist Zeke Emanuel – they fall into an age group like “the youngest and oldest people [who] get chances that are attenuated.”
“Attenuated”. Gotta love the nuance.
Conversely, a $46B surplus is most definitely NOT a “$200B” surplus, Clinton was not responsible for the surplus left behind at the end of this second term, and BHO did not “inherit” a $1.3T deficit.
- As for your vaunted sources, …
The federal government is the federal government. You want to label it a “vaunted source”, hey, that’s your choice. That doesn’t change the facts any more than your attempt to change the subject by linking to a video of a public tirade by a career criminal with a speech impediment who should be serving time in federal prison for criminal malfeasance as a function of his part in causing the Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac meltdown.
