The Big Heist Of 2008 by Phil
Staudt Last night our President made a speech. As I listened to the wise words of George W. Bush, and as I observed him saying the opposite of everything he has been saying about the economy and Wall Street and banking for the past eight years, and as he was speaking as if we are all so stupid that we cannot see this, all I could hear him saying was, "SHOCKED!!! I am shocked that gambling is going on here!" Maybe he then slipped away to check his Swiss bank accounts to make sure that the deposits were made. These things happen in politics, and they are all crooks. In fact, the Democrats who are currently bellyaching about the Big Heist of 2008 are going to eventually vote in favor of it for the sake of their personal portfolios and those of their friends. There is no way they cannot okay this thievery because they are going to benefit from it. Of course Wall Street analysts are saying it is necessary, because they are going to benefit from it. They are telling us about corporations not being able to get credit and will fold if we don't act now. The banks are holding the country hostage until we pay them the ransom money, and it is an inside job by the Federal Government. When Billy Clinton was in office he pushed to get China restored back to most-favored status, and then China had to kill all their chickens because of disease, and then China had to buy all their chickens from Tyson, based in Arkansas, where Billy had been Governor. You can expect politicians to do deals that benefit themselves and their buddies. There have been many "bridges to nowhere" built at every level of government. But this Republican administration is orchestrating the ultimate bridge to nowhere, and this Democrat Congress is going to okay it. I have been waiting and watching to see how our current lame duck would get his piece of the pie. But this scenario is over the top. For all those who have said that Bill Clinton lied to the American people, and therefore it was imperative that we should vote for our President based on "character", which was the GOP code word in 2000, I have never seen more lies coming out of a politician's mouth then what came spewing out of GW Bush last night. Go ahead. Play the tape back. I am in the camp of those who believe that all of our politicians are a bunch of crooks, but he just won the top award. Either he was lying to us last night, or he has been lying to us for eight years, but everything he said last night opposes everything has been saying about our economy, and opposes everything he has said he would and would not do, and how can anybody believe anything he says. Remember the energy crisis of 2001 that we had to take care of right away when the power was going out and there were mass blackouts? Cheney met behind closed doors to formulate a strategy while G.W. told us that he needed Congress to act quickly to pass a huge spending bill that included having Enron build 2500 power plants across the country, or we would all be in the dark. He wasn't in office for six months and he was already telling us that it was okay to run a deficit and borrow money (so much for the surplus) as long as we were at war (which we weren't at that time) or in times of a "national crisis". Unfortunately for Enron, they got caught with their pants down because we ended up having a real national crisis on September 11th, and Congress was out of the office because of anthrax and wasn't able to get the "energy-crisis-we-need-it-now" bill passed. We know what happened to Enron, whose chief was one of his biggest contributors to GW Bush when he was running for Governor and President. The lights are still on, but they found better ways to sucker Americans out of their tax dollars, except for those making over millions of dollars a year. I am not against people getting rich or getting richer, but I am against borrowing trillions of dollars from communist countries in order to benefit those who have the most and need tax breaks the least. Any time we hear that the government needs something to get passed right now without questions or answers or ramifications or add-ons or subtractions or anything else that seems like good common sense, we know there is a heist taking place. Remember the fake gas shortages in the '70's? Remember the savings and loan bailout, which included a S&L that had as its director the brother of the man who gave us the speech last night from the White House? Remember the weapons of mass destruction? Remember how the tax cuts for billionaires was going to make the economy strong and make the markets go up, and at the same time we were going to balance the budget and pay off debt? And we know about John McCain's record with the banks and the "Keating Five". Earlier this year, Andrew K McCain, son of John McCain, served on the board of Silver State Bank, but resigned in July, less then two months before the bank failed. I am sure that all of these ties to bank failures by the Bush's and McCain's are coincidental, and there was nothing that they did wrong, but they were failures, and that is a fact. For 20 out of the past 28 years we have had a Bush as either President or Vice President. Every one of those years was a deficit year that increasingly piled up astronomical amounts of debt for our country. The only years in my lifetime where this country did not plunge into more humongous debts was the years that Clinton was President. I can understand those who will not vote for a political party or candidate because of their views on abortion or gay marriage, which ever side they are on, but for goodness sakes, don't keep voting for these lying crooks who are bankrupting our country, or our country might end up being run by the Chinese, and then you will see a lot of abortions. Borrowing money from China, including another $700 billion, is financing a government that has forced abortions and mandatory abortions, so if you vote for the party that gave us the debt, and keeps on giving us more debt, you are supporting forced abortions in China. How moral is funding and financing forced abortions in China, and borrowing money from China to finance the invasion and occupation of a country that did not attack us, and lying about weapons of mass destruction, all for the sake for oil and the profits of Haliburton and other contractors. Maybe it is not a good idea to put the wolves in charge of watching the sheep any more, no matter how good their disguises are. For the past
few decades there has been a pattern of coincidences surrounding this
bunch that have been selling themselves as the "moral choice".
