BUSHZOMBIE

Make no mistake about it, the Republicans want to pin this economic disaster on the Democrats.

Are the Democrats to blame? Hardly. This situation has been caused by people like John McCain, Phil Graham, the Regan conservatives, and the lemmings that roped America and drug it over the cliff with …

- Insane trade policies
- Trickle down economics
- No support for labor
- No support for U.S. manufacturing
- Exporting technology to competing countries
- Tax cuts for the wealthy by covering operating expense with debt
- No regulation for financial institutions
- Starting wars of choice

Leaving us with a country that makes failing financial instruments and little else.

Yes, the Republicans are responsible for this. This is not a bi-partisan disaster. This is their fault. Clinton left a budget surplus, an economy that was going into a downturn, but a cyclical one. Clinton is not innocent. He did sign many Republican bills. But let’s face it, this is a Republican meltdown.

Six years of Republican iron clad control, shutting Democrats out of every meeting, removing transparency, squelching any kind of reasonable counter dialogue. The Republicans would not even let the Democrats have a hearing room to meet on media consolidation. They had to have a forum in the basement of the Whitehouse. The Republicans did not let the Democrats up for air for 6 years. And for the last 18 months the Republicans have  filibustered and obstructed any reform legislation. (92 filibusters as of today), more than any congress in American history.

The Republicans have had their way - first by strong-arming, now by obstructing.

And now, in comes this $700 billion bailout plan.

Here is the truth: This entire charade is a ploy by the Republicans who are now playing “Pin the tail on the Donkey”.

Want proof? 

Exhibit 1:  No oversight clause, a section in the bill blatantly describing the following:

Section 8 states the following:

Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.

Would anyone with an I.Q. higher than the temperature of ice water think this would be passed? This is utterly laughable.

Q. Why would they think this has a chance of passing?
A. The Republicans wanted this bill untenable.

Exhibit 2: Written months ago — all three pages.

This document was created months ago. This was kept under wraps until the inevitable bank melt down happened.

Fratto insisted that the plan was not slapped together and had been drawn up as a contingency over previous months and weeks by administration officials. He acknowledged lawmakers were getting only days to peruse it, but he said this should be enough. 

Q. Why would they wait to drag this nutty bill out now when they admitted it was drafted months ago?
A.  They wanted to put the Democrats on the spot, where a good decision is impossible. They wanted America to be harmed, so they could make the Democrats look bad.

Q. Why did they admit this was written months ago?
A. It is hard to keep up lies when all you do it lie.

Exhibit 3: Insisting the bill must be acted upon immediately.

Let’s face it, this behavior is meant to make the Democrats over-react, which they have. Wait to release the document until it’s too late. Insist on action immediately.

Q. So what IS this proposal, blatantly flawed, written and held for months and now the only thing that can prevent imminent disaster for the United States?
A. This is BAIT for the Democrats.

And of course the Democrats have picked up the stink bomb and are trying to work with it, while the Republicans stand opposed to George W. Bush.

These Republicans can now say the Democrats are in favor of a bailout, even though they have been opposed to the Bush plan. It won’t matter. The media will leave out those finer details.

One thing is certain, nothing good can happen!

• If the Democrats even THINK of supporting a piece of legislation with the word ‘Bailout’, they will look like they are supporting George Bush.
• If the Democrats DON’T support some kind of economic help, another Great Depression is imminent. The Democrats will be blamed for letting it happen.

We can only hope Americans will see this for what it is, another Republican trap, and they will vote every Republican in the country out of office.

Hey Zombies, looks like your leaders are deadly (no pun intended) accurate when picking presidential vice presidents. I am amazed.

Sarah Palin is the perfect VP choice. Everything about her is simply – neo-conservative.

1. Palin was once runner up in a beauty contest, Ms. Alaska. This means she is hot! Whew, have you seen her contest picks? What insight can this give you? As you know, for conservative men who choose sexual relationships with females, there are basically two kinds of ‘gals’: 1) Trophies and 2) breeders. Sarah Palin falls into BOTH categories! She is a mother of 5, although one is a special needs child. Yes, she is sizzling hot. She doesn’t have to have a brain, she is fertile and good looking. LINK

2. Palin supports “old fashioned values” but doesn’t live her life as she espouses. Wow, she’s a hypocrite right out of the chute. How is THAT for right wing values? She doesn’t support the use of birth control, even among married couples. LINK  In other words, a woman’s place is in the home, popping out babies, unless she’s running the free world. One has to wonder if she can have time between her Downs Syndrome baby and keeping Vladimir Putin from nuking us. But she doesn’t place a very high value on her disabled baby, she can have others take care of that. Mothering is for other women. That is, do as I say, not as I do.

NOTE: This seems like a good time for a couple of Palin Republican jokes: Palin Joke 1) Why doesn’t a woman need a driver’s licence? Because there isn’t a road between the bedroom and the kitchen.  Palin Joke 2) What do you say to a woman who has two black eyes? Nothing, you already told her twice.

3. Palin doesn’t support sex education, which might explain why her 17 year old unmarried daughter is pregnant. LINK

4. She plays the crony card very well. She removed the Alaskan safety commissioner from office (allegedly) when he refused to fire her brother in law who was divorcing her sister. While she denies the allegations, come on folks, she’s a perfect fit for the Neocons. She is “in your face” belligerent about what she did. Of course she has hired a lawyer to defend her against the whole mess, but think about it – she can continue politicizing the justice department right out of the box. Who says she doesn’t have experience… Hahahaha…. LINK

5. She’s a flip flopper, but who cares. For example, she supported the bridge to nowhere until it became politically advantageous to not support it. Then she used her non-support as political capital.

She changed her mind, [her spokesman] said, when “she saw that Alaska was being perceived as taking from the country and not giving, and that impression bothered her and she wants to change it. … I think that Sarah Palin is someone who has the courage to reevaluate situations as they developed.”… LINK

This falls right in line with the normal course of action for all Necons. Her true political views are not in question, they are known – she does whatever it takes to get elected. What is only in question is her ability to blatantly lie and get away with it, which seems to be a talent of hers. She fits right in with the entire RNC persona.

6. Her husband was a BP executive, but quit when it seemed a conflict of interest. None the less, he is involved with oil. Perfect again.  LINK

So, there is no doubt, Sarah Palin is the PERFECT fit for the McCain presidential VP spot: She is a hypocritical, belligerent, power abusing, sexually inept, fake, but a good looking liar. She is, in essence, the Tanya Harding of politics. A good looking mean bitch.

This is the perfect pick for McCain.
