Political extortion is a Bush strategy.

Folks, the economic crisis we are witnessing is a game strategy.

It's now being reported that the Paulson Plan is several months old. The plan was intentionally withheld from Congress until exactly one week before the election recess. It was held back to force the Democrats to make a move under intense time pressure. A move which will cost them the election. Think about it! Bush has used disaster after disaster to force concessions and grab power. This is a classic Bush/Cheney tactic. Have you noticed how the economic disaster is being framed. The Bush people are saying that if you don't give us what we want the results will be unthinkable. No other explanation, just unthinkable. This is political extortion of the highest order.
