2. They believe in the free hand of the market |
|
the same way that Hoover believed in the free hand of the market
Did yuo know the Hoover adminstration was the most corrupt administration since McKinnely and this one is the most corrupt administration since McKinley?
You draw your own conclusions what the hand of the market means for either...

6. Kleptocracy may be the word you are looking for |

It certainly isn't capitalism when a cabal of robber barons buys the government.

3. lets look at their background a little |
|
Halliburton, KBR, Dresser, Harkin Oil, spectrum 7.
Talk about breaking the invisible hand of the free market. These guys couldn't run a lemonade stand in death valley without being given free lemons by the govt.

5. ROFL! Like the lemonade stand in death valley analogy. Perfect! |

Don't leave out Rumsfeld either. He managed to get the Nutrasweet brand accepted by the FDA, sold the Nutrasweet brand to Monsanto and made himself a fortune.In between, he did some mighty powerful influence peddling to stymie investigations into the safety of Nutrasweet.A great businessman he, indeed.

4. I think a lot of Libertarians would say "crony capitalism." |
|
I disagree with a most of what I hear about coming from them about social programs, but I think they'd serve as a good hostile witness against the notion that Republicans really believe in free markets.
