And this wasn't the Dems- or Obama that came and said we needed $700 Billion to bail out their buddies on Wall Street... :shock: :wink: As I remember it- it was Paulson and GW...
President Bush has already shown that he is a big-spending liberal. He's already shown that he is capable of placing his trust in the wrong people at times - this case is no different.
Paulson is basically a freakin' liberal. He's really not even a Republican. He represents one more of President Bush's attempts to put politics aside in making appointments. It might do you some good to refresh your memory on what Novak had to say about him last October:

Or what Michell Malkin had to say about him last week:

I'm just thankful there is an opposing party still there not just handing them a blank check without some oversight...
What a crock. The ones that opposed this are the House Republicans. You can keep on trying to blame everything on the Republicans if you don't want to be honest, but the FACT is that the Dems were the ones who were so quick to jump on this deal. The Republicans have been blocking it.
Don't you remember how Obama and the Dems announced an agreement prematurely last week? How they were trying to make it look like something had been worked out before McCain got back to town? And how Obama made a fool out of himself by telling the press what his handlers had told him to say?
Nothing had been worked out, but the Dems were ready to jump right on it because they wanted it to go away so that nobody would find out about their failures of the past and their lack of accountability. They were ready to sign off on it right away because they had earmarked billions for their cronies. They were eager to support it because it represented the same thing that they represent - big-spending socialism. Opposing party, like hell.

...and some direction to where this money should go- rather than GW's filling the Fatcats pockets some more......
Yeah, your Democrat heroes are really giving some direction - directing billions and billions of dollars of OUR money into the pockets of radical groups like ACORN.
Seriously, Oldtimer - you need to think about getting some objective news instead of just relying on your usual 'sources' like the Huffington Post and the Daily Kos. You run down conservatives and accuse them of marching in lockstep, having a cultist leader, blah, blah, blah. But in reality, YOU are the one who is making a bigger partisan clown out of yourself with every post.
