Delay was obsessed with deregulation--just heard on NPR.

[Skidmore]

Said to go back to the days he had encounters with regulatory agencies when he was in pest control. Anyone else hear that. They were linking his zealotry to the rapid deregulation that has taken place over the past few years of the * administration. Trying to let Little Boots off? Is Delay becoming the fall guy for * and the R Congress? Are we going to let him go down all alone when it comes to this??

1. deregulation for corps, severe regulation for We, the People

in the form of the unPATRIOTic Act, etc.

:grr:

[blm]

2. That's typical fascism - use religious fervor to hide the fascist agenda

.

3. i think the linking is an overreach imo, i know he hated regualtion

when he was a bug guy. Saint Ronnie hated regualtion too, maybe they should link him to Delay?

4. he said in the 90s that the EPA was like the Gestapo

cons only like regulatin's if it's of 1) uteruses, 2) bedrooms, or 3) protestors. After that, gub'mint's only good for 1) wars of colonization, 2) internal oppression, 3) handouts, 4) free plastique and Ack-Ams for every toddler

5. That occupation is heavily regulated today.

If they leave their trucks unlocked they get fined. Obvious national security measure since 9/11. Wouldn't be surprised if Delay signed it into law.

6. RWers love to deregulate, except when it comes to pro sports

they are hyper regulated, and you should watch a RW sports fan start ranting and raving when you suggest that pro sports be completely de-regulated.

They are such pathetic dweebs
