OT – GOP is being carried to the extreme

[quote=DataAgent]I was against the Iraq war from day 1 and was immediately christened as ‘unpatriotic’ by my Bush-loving peers. Prior to the Iraq war, I paid very little attention to politics at the national level.[/quote]

What would the world be like if Iran controlled half of the world’s oil supply? If they got their hands on the oil in Iraq, they would. We don’t dare let that happen, yet Obama may.

What does Iran today have to do with the invasion of Iraq?

Paranoid? I think so.

[quote=Casca]Until Nancy Pelosi beats Joe Wilson on the floor of the house with an ivory handled cane, we will not have reached the level of civility that preceeded the civil war.
[/quote]

That I agree, the acrimony of that time has yet to be repeated.

[quote=Casca]Would Bush have nationalized the banks and the auto companies as Obama has done? Given ownership to the unions? I doubt it. He acquiesed to TARP as professional courtesy to Obama. He did it because Obama asked him to do so, and he wanted to position Obama to execute a cohesive policy, no matter how wrong-headed.[/quote]

Partisan wishful thinking, Casca. Hank Paulson, Neel Kashkari, and Ben Bernanke developed and ran the whole bailout program. Obama didn’t add anything new.

Bush was probably too dazed to understand what was going on. The complexity of the financial matters blew right over his head.
