His SEC lifted the "uptick" rule. Anyone with an MBA should have known where that was going. As Chief Executive it was his DUTY to call attention to the sub-prime mess and do everything in his power to stop it. Giving credit where credit is due he did mention it in a couple of speeches to Congress, but otherwise >>>>crickets<<<<<

I remember in the spring of 2007, Team Bush started making rounds on the news-talkies. Their message -- Everything is fine, no problems.

I thought it strange at the time that they were out in force and delivering that kind of message, because everything seemed to be going okay.

Then, by mid summer, the dominoes started dropping -- and they are continuing even now.

The Bush economic team saw the looming disaster, tried to head it off until they were out of office; but they failed by a few months.

WE have been ****ed by rinos so badly that some of us WILL NEVER vote for one again. VOTE CONSERVATIVE or prepare for a civil war.

........ just keep on saying no Jeb and I will all ways remember you fondly .

[ExTexasRedhead]

I would check their voting record and see if these individuals have the spine, guts, and fortitude to tell their constituents the truth about the back room dealings and deliberate destruction of our country and our freedom.

You said

Calling for a civil war? I think you just proved my point.

[LibLieSlayer]

I am NOT calling for a civil war... but if we cannot change the direction of America, then some States will determine that their time in this Union has outlived its usefulness... SAVVY?

no hilliary in 2012 ... remember what rush said ? NO UGLY or OLD women get elected ... sorry, just the facts ...

[Psalm 144]

I don’t think Hillary will ever run again. The only way would be some elimination of BO that could in no way be attributed to her. She would HAVE to win the black vote in the usual overwhelming Democrat percentage, and that would not happen if BO’s departure could in any way be attributable to her. I also disagree with the theory that he will step aside in 2012. He is too small a man to remove himself. Perhaps he would trade for Secretary General of the UN, but I think he is too unpopular and absurd internationally to be offered that now. His international standing is now like yesterday’s feast - greatly devalued after use.

If he is still around, BO will be the Democrat candidate in 2012, IMO.

[Psalm 144]

If we cannot change the direction of America, the United States will fail as surely as the Soviet Union, and for many of the same policy and budgetary reasons.

I think we would have dissolution more than civil war.

I agree with your main point though, to be sure.

[LibLieSlayer]

I do not want a civil war... perhaps things will end as you have stated. One thing... millions of us will not live in communism.

[Psalm 144]

“I don’t think Palin would do well... [s]he has a place in government, but I just don’t think it is in the White House.

I am looking at Bobby Jindal and wondering if he could arouse enough support...

No one else really excites me or makes me feel they have the combination of strong leadership skills, administrative experience, good morals, and LOVE for our country versus being just an ego feeding politician. Any comments?”

I feel the opposite regarding these two candidates, though I like and respect them both as you do. Our strong bench right now seems to be among the governors. I am watching Christie and Brewer with interest. Michelle Bachmann as well, although she is not a governor.

[Psalm 144]

My despair comes from the fundamental, structural changes that have occurred in our society.

********

I understand. Remember though, that a dozen blue collar Jews ultimately destroyed the Roman Empire.

[Psalm 144]

“One thing... millions of us will not live in communism.”

No indeed.

There is a remote chance we can restore the nation before bankruptcy or dissolution or civil war. A better chance at least than that we could have successfully secceded from the United Kingdom.

[LibLieSlayer]

I am praying for it and I agree with you.

I SAVVY that you have attempted to clarify, probably back off, your response.

Good move on your part.

But I would still say your posts tends to back up my original post.

[LibLieSlayer]

No, you misunderstood. I make mistakes from time to time but not this time. I am prepared for whatever happens. Only a fool wants war... but I will not run from one. I’d rather die than see OUR beloved sanctuary for Liberty and Freedom under GOD destroyed.
