I am a Republican, but I do wish President Obama all the best, and hope America does great things during his four year Presidency. I was watching World News America one day on the BBC America and they were interviewing some high end American beurocrat who dealt with the economy and the News Announcer mentioned to him that during the boom Americans were spending like crazy and the Government was trying to get us to save, but now that the economy is down Americans are saving and the Government is tying to make us go out and spend. That is the truth. The American government is willing to risk the American people’s financial well being for the sake of the world, and that upsets me.

Pretty dinky alarm, I never heard it, and neither did you, having just dug this stuff up as you have.
the GOP members are sounding the warning bells, over 4 yrs ago, about what was coming, if nothing was done.
(This is the part where you lie & said you heard it LONG ago, heh heh)

Narrowly focused ? You mean like the leaders of the party ?
You have no case.

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people ARE.

Funny, I can't recall a single incident over the past several years where you OPPOSED him on ANYTHING.
Lets see.
I disagreed with several of his compromises with Democrats on various legislative items. I think he should have given full pardons to those border patrol fellas who shot that drug dealer. I disagreed with the ban on torture. I disagreed with the Constitutional interpretation for persons captured during the war (the Constitution makes a clear distinction between persons and citizens and all persons have rights...I'd have clarified their rights and THEN secretly tortured them using EVERY available means...and it would have been legal because of the pardon power). I generally disagreed with the massive spending increases. I disagreed with creating Homeland Security as a full Dept...I thought a better way to go was someone to oversee national intellegence...kinda like a National Security Advisoer role with a specific area of responsibility. I disagreed with the bailout last fall. I think we should have handled Iran differently. I think he waited too long to fire Rumsfeld and the surge should have started November 3, 2004. There's other stuff too...
I generally supported Bush policies. Specifically I supported the policies I liked and opposed the ones I didn't like.
Edited to add: Immigration...lets not forget the crapload of illegal aliens and complete failure to secure the border.

Actually, you're wrong. Groups like ACORN and other " commuinity activist " coerced / strong armed banks into making risky , Gov't backed loans so the poor and minorities could buy homes which they couldn't afford. And there were many in Congress on the side of ACORN and the likes, which vigorously fought any attempt to clamp down on Fannie and Freddie loaning practices.
That's certainly the propaganda McCain's campaign perpetuated in the hope of winning the election, but I'm afraid you're wrong.
Hell, it was ACORN campaigning AGAINST predatory lending.
Given that neither Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac were highstreet banks, and never gave money to anyone buying a house (look it up, they bought MSBs from other lenders, they didn't hand out mortgages), it's hard to see how you could possibly equate them with predatory or risky lending.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

A fair number of Republicans saw the problem and tried to do something. Nobody saw the scope of the problem until it fell on us last fall. Sure McCain warned about trouble...but nobody was out there saying 'next month it all falls down'.
The warning bells were more like cautionary notes. I find it hard to believe that if anybody saw this coming they would not have been on the Senate floor shouting about it every day trying to get somebody to pay attention before it was too late. It caught everybody by surprise...sure, its common sense now, you can't loan money to people who can't pay it back...but nobody was thinking in those terms as late as last August. Instead it was 'subprime' and 'flip this house' and such.

citizen, it's clear w/ every post you make , you show your ignornce on US politcs. This has ZERO to do w/ McCain or any of his alleged " propaganda ". McCain GAVE no propaganda, and it's one reason he lost the election. He ran too NICE, and everyone, from both sides, agree.
It's clear you didn't even look at the video. It was from 2004, not 2008. You have no idea of what you're talking about. All you do is take what I say, flip it on its head, and repeat it back. McCain wasn't and never WILL be the leader of the GOP. Just as Kerry was never the LEADER of the Dems, they both were simply defacto winners of their party's election process. But your simplistic view of the US political process falsly assumes that anything anti Democrat HAD to come from McCain. Hell, McCain was the Liberal NYT's choice back when his campaign was failing because the Left saw McCain as who he was, a RINO.
Please, do yourself a favor and stop simply reacting to post in which you have no business posting.

It caught everybody by surprise...
