Oh, come on.
Nobody here (with half a brain) thinks you're unintelligent. I recognize how smart you are. I don't confuse your deliberate button pushing with actual *********gery. And while I do think your crotchity old mannish behavior is based on truth, I think you exaggerate it for the sake of humor quite often.
You realize that you almost always side with the most extreme far right posters on this board. You also know that anyone who is even moderately left is considered a "lefty" to you, even if they are quite moderate in their beliefs (as I am.)
I could go into specifics just citing your espoused beliefs in your last post, but it's unnecessary. You know I speak the truth.

Reagan was the master communicator and used the Bully Pulpit so the dems in congress really had no choice but to go along with him. Clinton had to deal with losing congress and basically still never worked with the republicans to achieve anything. although he did try to make a lot of their ideas look like they were his. he just didn't come up with them until he had lost congress.

See, nobody is buying the "I'm a moderate" bull. I used to think i was fairly hard right. Not so. Apparently I'm moderate according to most standards.
try this one
You, my friend are the worlds first republican communist. You just don't believe you are. You're out there with all the cali whack jobs. You have no basis for comparision.
Socialism is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
Riiiiight. Except for my beliefs which fall completely in line with traditional Republican principles and the fact that I spend a ton of time traveling all over the country and, in fact, the world.
But don't let that get in the way of your preconceived and unfounded assertions.

To put all the blame on Bush for this past 8 years of failed economic policy is just as asinine as giving Clinton all the credit for those 8 years of economic "success" in the 90s.
Just sayin...
They're all to blame. Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd and all those congressmen who were taking money from the financial sector in exchange for their total lack of regulatory control. Bush for his idealogy that any regulation is equivalent to communism and that uncontrolled markets always lead to prosperity and never result in widespread corruption. Politicians everywhere who got drunk off of the wealth-effect, increased home ownership rates, and increased tax revenue from the housing bubble and willingly and shamefully ignored the storm that had been gathering offshore for years and years.
I believe in sensibly regulated markets and I don't think that makes me a communist.
I think you sorta have it BACKWARDS. What those Democrats did is kill 2 birds with one move. They IMPOSED A FOOLISH REGULATION, in effect, when they forced the lending institutions to make housing loans to totally unqualified buyers, 1) in order to buy more votes, and 2)REPARATIONS, BABY!!!
Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
