bucfan64 309 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 This Guy Calls Both Groups Out (Repubs and Dems) This is what I have been talking about, while we sit at home or on this message board bashing one party over the other, the facts are that they both are very similiar. They may differ on social and certain domestic issues, but overall they are all being wagged by the same TAIL. -------------------- Is the new Obama administration taking cues from the Bush administration to get Congress to act? It certainly seemed that way to, South Carolina’s junior Republican senator, Jim DeMint. DeMint, speaking Jan. 27 at The Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., explained the Obama administration will “create crisis and widespread panic†just like its predecessor in order to get Congress to act expeditiously. “I’ve been around long enough to know whenever someone tells me I have to make a decision right now, my response is no,†DeMint said. “That clears it up right away and I think more and more the Bush administration and now this administration knows that they’re not going to get a quick reaction out of Congress unless they create crisis and widespread panic. And that’s going to be their M.O. to get Congress to act.†Another senator, James Inhofe, R-Okla., explained the Bush administration used a similar tactic, under the direction of former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, to get the $700-billion TARP bailout bill passed by Congress back on Oct. 4, 2008.

I had read this story and you are right, fear can be a big motivator in quick decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
