Like two peas in a conservative pod

The problem is that not only is McCain much like Bush, but so is Clinton.

The Bush White House realilzes that Clinton will carry on their legacy:

Yet it is Barack Obama who admires Reagan and the deregulation that resulted from his
economic policies and led to business running rampant over citizens of this country.

Impartial: The pendulum swings both ways. In the seventies federal agencies regulated prices for many public services, including the trucking industry, airlines and the telphone companies. It had become, in essence, legalized collusion, as lobbyists for these industries pushed agencies to raise prices, thus holding the industries “guiltless”. It was actually Carter who deregulated the trucking and airline industries and prices fell tremendously as competition determined prices. With the telephone industry, it was the breakup of ATT in ‘84 that effectively had the same results, so you can argue that this was a Reagan policy, but it also had the same result.

The problem now, however, is not simply pricing deregulation, but easing of rules for accountants, monopolies, banks, etc. I would not call these Reagan policies, though I’m open to change if you can offer examples.

If you want a Democrat in the White House next January, here is what you do…whenever any Democrat, anywhere, refers to McCain, it should always be “Bush-McCain”, everytime. “Bush-McCain is saying..”, “The Bush-McCain policies….”. Rinse. Repeat. Tie the most unpopular President in modern American history to his leg like an anchor chain…..

You guys #1,2,3…are shameless. Just can’t miss an opportunity to drag the dem candidate you oppose ( You demonstrate you don’t support your candidate as much as you oppose the “other”, and provoking a response to then say see how poorly “they” respond) through the mud which only detracts from the point of seeing how much McCain and Bush are McSame. You don’t help your candidate or the discussion with your pettiness and you take the focus away from McCain making people focus on the “barking dogs” rather than on the intruder. It seems everything becomes just another way to insult the candidate you oppose and it really gets old. It’s not funny, cute, or even intelligent. It’s quite pointless other than just being irritating. Really, get a grip on the rock throwing. We’ve all had enough of it.

Karl Rove: “[I]f you try and say John McCain is George Bush, that simply lacks credibility with a wide number of Americans.”

As if Karl Rove — after Plame-gate and his role in the Siegelman prosecution — should ever speak about credibility.

John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign is nothing if not ironic. The supposed maverick has repeatedly reversed positions and compromised core principles to help pave his road to the White House. The Arizona Senator, whose family assets include 8 homes and a stash purportedly worth over $100 million, refuses to disclose his wife’s tax returns, all while calling Barack Obama an “elitist.” And now, John McCain is planning a fall campaign based on distancing himself from George W. Bush, a strategy closely coordinated with the Bush White House itself.

For the details, see:
“McCain, Bush Staffs Coordinate on W Separation Strategy.”

If McCain were to win the election and take office in Jan. of 2009, we will continue to see this kind of travesty…which of course, only serves to create more enemies and terrorists (now called “criminals” evidently..see mention of same numerous times in article). This terminology is no mistake either. Something new is up.

“They (the Americans) will say it was a weapons cache (they hit),” said the head of Baghdad’s health department, Dr Ali Bistan. “But, in fact they want to destroy the infrastructure of the country.”

He charged that the attack was aimed at preventing doctors and medicines reaching the hospital which is located inside an area of increased clashes between American troops and militiamen.”

RonChusid, well said.

joey, whadda maroooooooooooon

dem or repug labels don’t matter when we are talking about candidates that have enabled chimpy’s policy at each and every turn.

If we can document that in terms of ACTION (and votes) a candidate candidate has consistently voted FOR virtually EVERYTHING the chimp stands for, then they are FAIR GAME.

Fact: shillary will never earn the support of many because she is just more of the same.

(Not so) “Impartial” at number 4 once again got it wrong, like most Hillarybots. Obama did not say he admired Reagan’s policies. He said that at the time the Republican were “the party of ideas.” As someone who was there at the time and politically engaged enough to be aware of such things, that was true. The Republicans were full of bad ideas and the Democrats had no ideas, like it or not, and that was what Obama said.

Why am I worrying about this? Morons like you prove that it’s true that Hillary does indeed have the non-educated political illiterates for her base.

Personally, I am getting tired of the intelligent people in this country having to take a back seat to the droolers, with the result that we get presidents like we’ve had the past 28 years.

There is much to be said about Burke’s commentary regarding the ultimate destination of purely democratic republics.

Hey Joey, if you think Mrs. Billy-J will give up any of the powers Big Dick usurped for Little Georgie over the past 7 years, you’re even dumber than I’ve been giving you credit for, and with the credit I’ve been giving you, you ought to be able to purchase a nice house in Pacific Palisades here in Lost Angles.

And if you’ll just stop bobbing and weaving for 2 seconds, I’ll put the next rock right over the plate between your eyes and you won’t feel a thing to be upset about anymore. I promise.

Big difference between mclame and dur chimpfurher - mclame has much looser bowels and is incontinent.

Chimpy has quite tight bowels which is why homosexual prostitute jeff gannon/guckert was given fake press credentials and allowed to come and go from the White House on overnights on a regular basis.

And chimpy’s bowels are so tight that his excrement is a tightly garded state secret and when he travels overseas all of his body functions are HIGHLY CLASSIFIED SECRETS and his urine and feces are highly guarded and treated like other regimes would watch their crown jewels - of course, with chimpy - this is just sh*t.

And then there’s this:

Twice this week now, Hillary Clinton has stood there smiling like the Cheshire Cat as the governor of North Carolina used the word “pansy” and then as a union leader in the same state, who more famously referred to her “testicular fortitude”, went on to inveigh that Hillary was the only thing that stood between the good and God-fearing people of North Carolina and the “Gucci-wearing, latte-drinking, self-centred, egotistical people that have damaged our lifestyle.” Clinton, according to the report linked to here, “smiled sheepishly before breaking into a nervous laugh.”

Since when does a multi-millionaire get away with saying this kind of stuff? Does she really think that the average person is a multi-millionaire and she’s just one of us? Please! I wish I had your money, toots.

Testicular fortitude, indeed. It takes some balls to try to get that BS to fly.

But hey, it’s not only Republicans that suck!

Read about the Thought Crime Bill which is currently before Congress (and be sure to watch the video!!). Talk about our country taking a wrong turn! When you can be thrown in jail for thinking, blogging, protesting, etc, well, repeat after me…We. Are. Screwed!

Cleaver…thanks for making my point. Do you eat with that mouth as well. You run around insulting everyone you disagree with. Your king of the hill mentality trying so desperately to impress and get attention and now threatening as well. You become everything you say you can’t stand. We should all be afraid. None of this has anything to do with the topics at hand only your anger, hate and rage. Glad the net is here so you have somewhere to threaten , vent and insult. Like I said, pointless, irritating, and tiresome. Try posting sometime without insulting just to see if you still can.

“…And if you’ll just stop bobbing and weaving for 2 seconds, I’ll put the next rock right over the plate between your eyes and you won’t feel a thing to be upset about anymore. I promise.” See what I mean. And you started it off with “…if you think” and proceeded to infer your message as if any of this has a thing to do with someone named Joey.

little bear, I wanted to say thanks for some extremely thoughtful posts. Yours have been really, really good lately.

I gave you a bunch of shit before so I thought I would give you your due, too.

So much for Rove spending “time with his family”. What a fat hypocrite. More time on speaking circuit foisting his anti-logical fallacies, more likely.

Karl…you are irrelevant. Here’s a nice cup of STFU for ya, now go home your wife’s calling ya!
