99 Senators voted for that war.  In fact, the Democrats demanded the right for a second vote. 

 

Clinton, Kerry, Gore all called Hussein the greatest threat to the world in 1996. But, that’s the way it is.  Whichever way the winds blows.

 

Deficit = Tax revenues minus spending.  Tax revenues are UP 2007-2008, not down.  Spending is up because it costs a lot to buy votes.  Repubs and Dems spend to buy votes, the latter more so.

 

The fact is Community Reinvestment Act was benign until Rubin got the ball really rolling in 1999.   Just go look at FNMA growth over the last 8 years.  Then go look at the correlated expansion of derivatives.  Simple.  Very very simple but I doubt you’d take the time to see when the mushrooming occurred.  That’s a tad complicated.

Republican cheerleading. All you McCain syncophants are getting
desperate it would seem.

>From balanced budget to half a trillion debt in 8 years, but Bush
doesn't get mentioned. No ridiculous war, no tax breaks to oil etc.,
just the "Community Reinvestment Act" from Clinton's reign. THats your
smoking gun? Get real.
