Politics is like horseshoes. They don’t always have to be ringers, some leaners are OK. But ALL of them have to be close!
Whom is Bush talking about when he mentions conservative? McCain bashed Alito, voted against the tax cuts and gave us these three conservative items namely:

• McCain Feingold
• McCain Liberman
• McCain Kennedy

He reached across the aisle, but that was all one way. Try the Gang of 14 too. While you are at it, add the Keating Five to this list.

Watch Bush push conservative programs » The only place Bush pushed conservative ideas was out the back door, except when the voters bludgeoned him into backing them.
Conservatives yes, McCain NO. Bush, no more years.
Now Bush is a comedian coming up with this:

Bush: Keep a conservative in White House

WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush, in a rousing speech to fellow conservatives, exhorted his ideological cohorts to “fight for victory and keep the White House in 2008.” [snip]

The two-term U.S. leader, who addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, leaves office next year and said it is important that the next president continues to reflect the conservative political principles he represents. [snip]

Bush’s address highlighted his conservative credentials in similar language to that McCain used when he spoke to the same group Thursday.

McCain noted his support for Bush’s policies, including permanent tax cuts, the appointment of conservative judges such as Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito and his early call for the addition of troops in Iraq as part of the so-called surge. [snip]

Zimbabwe won’t have anything over us.
Ever hold a $10,000,000 dollar bill? One of those will get you a dollar meal, if you hurry up and buy it.

Zimbabwe bank issues $10million bill - but it won’t even buy you a hamburger in Harare

[snip] The central bank of the southern African country has a issued a 10million Zimbabwe dollar note. The move increases the denomination of the nation’s highest bank note more than tenfold. [snip]

U.S. stock futures point to major decline on re-open

LONDON (MarketWatch) — If futures contracts traded on a day when U.S. stocks weren’t even due to open are anything near accurate, then markets will be in for a major decline on Tuesday, with concerns about bond insurers and the health of financial institutions dragging markets lower.

[snip] The rescue plan presented by President Bush last week in a bid to help the U.S. avoid recession also wasn’t well-received by markets.

“Ambivalence over Bush’s rescue plan for the U.S. economy was the trigger of this rout,” said Martin Slaney, head of derivatives at GFT Global Markets. [snip]

Black Monday as biggest FTSE crash since 9/11 wipes off nearly £60bn in shares

[snip] It is also the worst start to the year for the stock market since records began in 1936. “I smell the acrid stench of fear and uncertainty,” said markets commentator David Buik of BGC Partners. European markets also tumbled.

The fall in the Footsie came after figures revealed a record government borrowing deficit for December of £7.8billion. [snip]

FTSE fall wipes £77bn off shares

THE London stockmarket was in freefall today plumetting 5.5 per cent - the biggest fall since 9/11 terror attacks. [snip]

[snip]The fall came as Asian markets tumbled overnight following losses for the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Friday, when investors were left unimpressed by the US Government’s tax-relief plans to spur on the economy.

Investors dumped shares because they were skeptical that an economic stimulus plan President Bush announced Friday would shore up the economy that has been battered by problems in its housing and credit markets. The plan, which requires approval by Congress, calls for about $145 billion worth of tax relief to encourage consumer spending.

They get to do this again tomorrow

Pessimism Over US Stimulus Plan

“People are certainly nervous about a potential recession in the U.S. spilling over to the rest of the world,” said David Cohen, Director of Asian Economic Forecasting at Action Economics in Singapore.

“Maybe there’s still some wariness about politicians are able to come up with a compromise and act sufficiently quickly” on a stimulus package, Cohen said. “I think the impact would be marginal anyway.”

Spurting through this economic cadaver is the fear of overextended sponging by regimes of the various countries. Every dime spent is for personal edifices, social engineering and/or for vote buying.

Liberals/communists/Fascists/Progressives see this as a way to destroy this and other anti-socialist countries. Debase the currency and you have old Rome. Why the so-called conservatives do this, I cannot explain.

The stock markets are telling us they are drowning and a drowning person will grab a turd to stay afloat. What does the White House, complicit with Congress do? Of course, they tossed in the entire sewage treatment plant.

We cannot meet the expense of our extravagances now. Bush et al endorse a bailout using $145 billion more. ($145,000,000,000.00) Matters only get worse with this fiscal help.

You want to blame someone. Don’t look around the country for a target; look at YOUR Rep. and two Senators. Don’t you dare look somewhere else. Democrats voted for the porking of the budget. Republicans voted the same excessively large sums for themselves. Congress sets the banking laws, which tell the banks how much is kept in reserves for write-offs. Banks were racist if loans were not made to sub-prime borrowers (financial redlining). The borrowers could barely pay back the loans before the rates went up. Toss in speculators, sprinkle liberally with greed and prices went up beyond reasonable value.

Learn a new word:Deflation.

This is a McNasty since years go by before values rise up to where they once were.

Another Keating Five Show

I can understand Prog/Donk moonbats keeping this insanity going; they do not like our system. Why do the rest of you keep putting these same criminals back in their seats.Yes, criminals, this behavior rises to the level of malfeasance of office. They are stealing from the future to buy votes now.

It is coming close to the time to put a spark in the flashpan. Before they strip away the 2^nd Amendment and make all chattels to Washington.
