seriously guys, is Bush running again? I don't think I could take anymore.

even though what we have now is Bush on roids I promise I will not vote for George Bush for president. Who needs deficit spending, unfunded wars, unfunded social programs, expanding of executive powers (nice way of saying power grab) etc etc, not the US that's for damn sure.
yep Jeb just jumped into the race

we need to elect another business man as president. they never fuck shit up.

Thats because we need to elect business men to congress where actual business happens. Like budgets. The president should only be steering the country he shouldn't have to shovel coal into the boiler too.

us illuminati people, we're an odd bunch like that.
This is one of the reasons why Jeb wont run. Having 3 members of the same immediate family run seems like monarchical rule.





LOL WTF WATCH THIS VIDEO> Said he was related to tom hanks and then played a scene from Forest Gum. Get it?

Everyone on earth is related, seven degrees of separation is actually about as far as any network structure will allow. It means nothing.

The wars did not create it, and neither did the tax cuts.

So, which leads to your last point. He created the housing bubble? How so?
you're right, barney frank singlehandedly controlled congress even though the GOP had majorities in both chambers. bush never bragged about his ownership society and the only thing that caused the recession was the housing crash, it had nothing to do with bankers trading their hats to each other until the hats were worth millions.

The wars did not contribute to the financial crisis? lol

just lol

If the tax cuts would have succeeded in creating jobs, then you could suggest they didn't also contribute, but clearly, they did not.

So let's hear your theory, about how Bush and his "Ownership Society" didn't create a housing bubble?

And under what administration with bipartisan support enabled bankers to trade those derivatives?

The wars defiantly did not create the crisis, they didn't help, but they sure as hell did not create it.
And the tax cuts didn't create jobs? Maybe you forgot that GDP was -1.5% when Bush took office. And maybe you forgot unemployment went from 4% to 6% in the months leading up to his presidency.

Bush's ownership society? LOL it was CLINTON who refused to sign the repeal of the glass stegal act if it had anything in the reduction of loans to risky borrowers. aka the community reinvestment act

I'll give you a hint, it isn't the party that revived aggregate demand in our economy.
ya mean, the party that says they are all for tax cuts voted against one of the biggest tax cuts in history (save one single senator)?

say it ain't so!

surely, they did not try to hold up any other tax cuts, like the payroll tax cut, now did they?

:lol:
