No more calls, please -- we have a winner. No more calls.
Da Boyz Downtown in Wall Street had their way with administrations and politicians of all colors and stripes. As the immortal Ozzie Myers said, "Money talks and ......"
No wonder you’re confused. Dodd isn’t listed on that site. I’ve got a trivia question for you. Who were the top three recipients of campaign donations from Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae?
Dude. Post #30. My mea culpa is on file.
“You people...are worse than ignorant. You are incompetent citizens...How incompetent are you people?...you GWB cheerleaders...Are you really that dumb?”
Heh, same ol’ RFEngineer. No substance, just a senseless string of personal attacks.
I do agree Bush didn’t try very hard. You are correct. He put out the info but didn’t fight hard for it. He should have done a Reagan and taken it to the people and he would have had a lot more credibility and might have opened some eyes to what was going on.
The GOP has not had much fight in it.
“Heh, same ol RFEngineer. No substance, just a senseless string of personal attacks.”
What is more senseless, making excuses for failure, or pointing out that excuses for elected leadership accomplishes nothing?
If you cannot see the results of this failure as substantive and important, then the post is for you. If can, then for cryin’ out loud what are you whining about?
“The GOP has not had much fight in it.”
This is very true, unless you are talking about fighting against conservatives who want to actually lead the party.
In that case, they find their gumption and come out swinging.
Somehow they conflate "best of breed" with "best of government", a mistake that Mr. Madison and Gen. Washington would not have made.

Excellent observation, thank you for pointing it out.
I am objecting too you using the term "dirty," but after reading your response I don't think you meant the term "dirty" like I thought you originally did.
Yes, I agree Bush is nothing more than compromising, and coddling to liberals, but I don't think he is a scumbag. (that's how I thought you meant "dirty.")
I think Bush is a decent man with a moderate to liberal, Methodist view of things.
Here is the proof:

and finally Democrats Redefining “income” (see second to last paragraph of post #8) which is now defined as to include public aid, social security, food stamps and foster care.

Ping to #30, old man - forgot the /sarc...
Hey! Just because I turned 37 last month doesn't mean I'm old. Just better. Or something like that...
Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.
"Oh, do go on, old man, it was meant in the most cultured of contexts, don't you know..."
"Indoubetably, Basil..."
