Rush, Hannity, et al. Working Furiously to Blame this Whole Bail Out on Democrats

[Emit]

Oh, and, um, Hank Paulsen is a Democrat. Yup. Yup.

[Demeter]

1. Since When?

...Paulson was a generous Republican contributor and prodigious Bush fundraiser (over $100,000) in the 2004 cycle.....

7. Since Rush said so yesterday, lol

He did. Said Paulsen was a Dem appointed by Bush. Lying sack of sh!t. Lies, lies and more lies.

2. What would you expect them to do? It's how they earn a paycheck--

pandering to ignorant morons who hang on their every word.

[TwilightGardener]

3. I'm shocked, SHOCKED I say! Doesn't McDumbass also support the bailout, along with their Preznit?

8. It's amusing really, listening to them. Makes my head spin, though

and then, periodically, I get a little sick in the gut knowing there are many folks out there believing the lies.

12. BTW, Rush thinks McCain better buck up and remember he's running against Obama

not Wall Street.

This weekend, though, :puke: While waiting in my car for some canvassers to return with their data for me to collect at our launch site, I suffered through some asshat talking about how it's the libra'l Democrats', minorities', illegals' and poor white people's fault for this mess. I kid you not - you likely knew that, though - I saw a thread about it here later that night or Sunday about it.

Kinda goes along with what a lot of us were discussing this weekend -- while walking and knocking in lower socioeconomic neighborhoods -- some where folks are really hurting -- why do people insist on voting AGAINST THEIR BEST INTERESTS?!

I NEED someone to 'splain that one to me. We need to fund some big libra'l think tank study group to answer this little question.

4. Their efforts will trickle down to some of the core repug voters.

But just like Palin I doubt if it'll gain the gop any new supporters.

5. when those guys are burning in hell, they'll blame that, too, on democrats.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

10. And God won't hear their screams.

/// not that I believe in hell

[colonel odis]

14. i believe in it, and they're shining examples of people who'll wind up there.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

6. I'd say blame the PROBLEM on the Repukes. The Bail Out could be a good thing,

The Repukes are the reason we are here now though.

[DCBob]

9. These idiots are blaming Carter and Clinton. It won't work.

Most voters can't remember last year.

11. Paulsen worked in the Nixon administration and raised over $100,000 for Bush in 2004.

Here is a quote indicating the person, party, and policy responsible for the sub-prime meltdown and subsequent financial crisis:

Expanding Homeownership. The President believes that homeownership is the cornerstone of America's vibrant communities and benefits individual families by building stability and long-term financial security. In June 2002, President Bush issued America's Homeownership Challenge to the real estate and mortgage finance industries to encourage them to join the effort to close the gap that exists between the homeownership rates of minorities and non-minorities. The President also announced the goal of increasing the number of minority homeowners by at least 5.5 million families before the end of the decade. Under his leadership, the overall U.S. homeownership rate in the second quarter of 2004 was at an all time high of 69.2 percent. Minority homeownership set a new record of 51 percent in the second quarter, up 0.2 percentage point from the first quarter and up 2.1 percentage points from a year ago.

13. Nope.

Rush says Hank's a Democrat. So it must be true, dontcha' know?

Catapulting that propaganda, he is.

And my neighbor with the 'Rush is Right' bumper sticker will give me an earful this weekend, I just KNOW it.
