StumbleLetter to the editor:
Bush, GOP again unfairly blamed
Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2008 | 2:04 a.m.
During these restless and uncertain times, there is one thing you can count on:
The Las Vegas Sun editorial page staff will always promote the far-left liberal viewpoint.
Maybe at some point the editors will consider hiring someone to actually do some investigating and “report” some facts instead of the left-wing spin. Tuesday’s “No confidence” editorial predictably stated that the failure to pass the bailout “shows lack of leadership from Bush, House GOP.”
What a shock! Of course they’d have to blame the president and those rascally Republicans. Do you think they would happen to mention that the Democrats rule the House? Or that 95 Democrats also voted no to the bailout?
Could it be that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi can’t get her own party members to go along with the party’s agenda? Of course not! The bailout vote failed because of the “lack of leadership from Bush, House GOP.”
Thank you so much for keeping us so well-informed.

Well, Stan, someone has to promote a point of view in touch with reality, as conservatives have no clue, preferring to believe nonsense about the world wrapped in rhetorical slogans. "Country First" is an empty slogan and only the clueless such as you don't understand that you share the blame by believing such nonsense.

Gordon, good point made - even the Republicans didn't want this.
nobody wanted to be in this situation in the first place. newt said it was a bad piece of legislation but it was better than the alternate plan of doing nothing.
The CBS News poll found that President Bush has tied the presidential record for a low approval rating -- 22 percent, matching Harry S. Truman's Gallup approval rating in 1952, when the country was mired in the Korean War and struggling with a stagnant economy.
Unfairly blamed? 78 percent of us believe the Republican administration is an utter failure! Can't say the "buck stops here" because the "buck" isn't worth anything anymore- thanks Republicans for borrowing our future and squandering it on a useless war in the wrong country fighting imaginary weapons that don't exist while allowing Iran to become the default power in a very important region of the world. Bravo!
The turnaboutis a move McCain has perfected in 26 years on Capitol Hill.
The Arizona senator embraces his party's popular critique of government, frequently invoking the deregulatory rhetoric that has helped Republicans win five of the last seven presidential elections.
But when a crisis or scandal makes headlines and sparks a public outcry, McCain is among the quickest in his party to call for robust government intervention.
