Sometimes I get the feeling that the Bush Admin is the Reagan Admin
Why?

Let's see here.

Both:

Took record amounts of vacation time

Enacted "Trickle Down Economics"

Had ties to the 'christian' Right

Were in a WH where corruption was the name of the game

Were surrounded by rabid RW'ers and had rabid RW supporters

I was little when Raygun was around, but looking at history, I see that he was bad, as both a President and as a human being.

Another similarity we see in both is the specter of Detention Camps being raised right here in the US.

The Reagan Administration had a plan known as Rex-84 to lock people up

The Bush Administration is giving Halliburton a no-bid contract to do it for them

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee, there is a secret Far Right Plot that was suspended when Poppy Bush entered the WH as President and in the process of falling apart during Clinton's Presidency.

Look, it might be unfair to call Bush a Fascist, but we need to split the government open, look at it like a log on the ground as if we were splitting that open to find the pests inside. We probably won't find that Bush is a Fascist, but we might find evidence of a Fascist Plot to turn the US into an Oligarchy.

Tinfoil? Probably.

Completely false? I think not.

4. Bush Senior was and is really in charge of both Regimes -- and the people
who own the bush crime family. There was a Reuters short article that John Hinkley's brother was to have dinner with Neil Bush the night of the Reagan attempted assassination and the Hinkleys were long time contributors to the BFEE. Look up MK-ULTRA and The Manchurian Candidate.

5. Yes, but unlike Reagan, the Pentagon and CIA hate this guy
and are doing everything possible to get rid of him and his traitorous crew.

Everything * does is a failure because key people aren't really doing anything but going through the motions.

7. More like "Nixon on Jesus Juice" as Bill Mahar said.
The secrecy, the contempt for their political opponents - as well as the law, the wiretapping, is just so deja-Nixon all over again and again. Add the religious fanaticism, and you've got shrub.

9. I think it is worse but yes, there are similarities
also RR at least was able to sound coherent with a prepared script--Junior can't even do that.
