Instead, the Democrats BELIEVED, along with the Republicans, that we needed to respond to the crisis with one voice.
And we did.
The Democrats, fearful of being called soft, what they could not think for themselves?rallied around the Republican mantra. People who strayed were labeled UNPATRIOTIC.
So, I wonder why NOW, when we face an even greater crisis, have about 3000 people died as a direct result of this crisis?the Republicans, as a group, are saying NO. And, I wonder why nobody is calling them UNPATRIOTIC.
maybe because the citizens are not as gullible as you think they are
Nahhh. I know why. It’s either because the Democrats ARE soft, OR because the Republicans are stupid. I think it’s both.
The Republicans only know BANG! If we haven’t been attacked with BOMBS or airplanes flying into buildings, there’s no crisis. Since the financial meltdown didn’t go BANG, it’s too subtle for them to grasp. They don’t get that we’re on the precipice of the Great Depression part deux. and as Tom is pointing out President Obama is pursuing the same economic policies. Isn't insanity doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result? :rolleyes: Really, they don’t get it. Not at all. Not even close.
I wonder if that could be because there’s no foreign sounding enemy to blame?
In fact, the enemy is their own Wall Street Al Qaeda (the "have mores" as Bush called them), who attacked us with derivatives and credit default swaps instead. which was possible because of certain laws and government agencies, while the government's own SEC did not do their job and Democrats like Barney Frank obstructing reform
Let me tell you this, my fine Republican friends, flying airplanes into buildings ain’t NOTHING compared to what we got going on today. This is August 1914. This is the morning after Pearl Harbor. This is 9/12.
But, for you, it’s business as usual – even with Hoover hovering in the background. I’ll betcha Hoover got the email about Fanny and Freddie, too. Bwa, ha ha ha.
You Republicans are silly. If your silliness wasn’t so UNPATRIOTIC, and DANGEROUS, I wouldn’t bring it up.
