Americans are getting their head served to them on a platter.
Faster horses said:Ya,,,according the the Liberal news media who slants things the way THEY want. I challenge you to watch FOX News.
Now tell me that you DON'T see the danger in the way this country is
heading?
errrr...make that the way this country is CHANGING?
Faster horses said:You aren't going to take the challenge to watch FOX news?
Are you afraid you might learn something?
Oh, and don't forget...FOX NEWS is number 1. That should tell
you something...
Oh yes, I worry about our young people having to pay for
Obamas spending...and their kids having to pay for it as well.
Too bad the colleges they attended have a high % of being liberal...
add in the school books that have rewritten history to fit their agenda...
they've been duped...but not all of them, so there is HOPE.

I have traveled the state and surveyed the sentiments of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania and public opinion polls, observed other public opinion polls and have found that the prospects for winning a Republican primary are bleak."
Faster horses said:WOW. Where have you been for months????????
You can't keep blaming Bush for what Obama has been doing. He's spent more money than all the presidents put together. I'm asking you honestly here...do you understand what a TRILLION is?????? Not me. I don't understand it but it scares me something horrific.
Bush (and sometimes with McCain) asked 17 times that Fredie and Fannie be more regulated. But he was called racist by your party...because it was minorities that Clinton allowed to buy these houses that could not pay for them. The writing was on the wall...
Oh well. Yawn.
You aren't going to convince me and I'm not going to
convince you. You can sit by and watch while our Capitalist government that has WORKED for all these years...go down the drain. Wait, I'll
rephrase that...while the libs FLUSH capitalism down the toilet.
DEFINING SCAPEGOATING
Scapegoating is a hostile social - psychological discrediting routine by which people move blame and responsibility away from themselves and towards a target person or group. It is also a practice by which angry feelings and feelings of hostility may be projected, via inappropriate accusation, towards others. The target feels wrongly persecuted and receives misplaced vilification, blame and criticism; he is likely to suffer rejection from those who the perpetrator seeks to influence. Scapegoating has a wide range of focus: from "approved" enemies of very large groups of people down to the scapegoating of individuals by other individuals. Distortion is always a feature.
In so far as the process is unconscious it is more likely to be denied by the perpetrator. In such cases, any bad feelings - such as the perpetrator's own shame and guilt - are also likely to be denied. Scapegoating frees the perpetrator from some self-dissatisfaction and provides some narcissistic gratification to him. It enables the self-righteous discharge of aggression. Scapegoaters tend to have extra-punitive characteristics [Kraupl-Taylor, 1953].

try to quiet the oppostion. Contrary to Obama and his push to
re-establish the so-called (liberals always have such nice names
for not-so-nice policies) Fairness Doctrine (which really isn't fair at all.)
When you only can get one-sided information that's called, at best,
PROPOGANDA. At worst, it's called brain-washing.

I doubt that Bush knew of any opposition to him/his actions. I'm gonna guess that the was kept sooooo out of touch by Cheney & Co that the poor boy didn't have a clue.
And Spector is like Miss CA and her pagent question, it's America and it was his decision to make....and he made it.

An interesting question is whether Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Sen Susan Collins (R-ME), the last two Republican moderates in the Senate will now follow suit.
