“The rules in this new 'post-partisan' era are pretty simple: If the Democratic Party wants it, it's 'stimulus.' If the Republican Party opposes it, it's 'politics' - as in headlines like this: 'Obama Urges GOP To Keep Politics To A Minimum On Stimulus.' These are serious times: As the president says, it's the worst economic crisis since the Thirties. So politicians need to put politics behind them and immediately lavish $4.19 billion on his community-organizing pals at the highly inventive 'voter registration' group ACORN for 'neighborhood stabilization activities.” IfsWantNeedsPresidentCommunitySimplePartyBehindsGroupsEconomicWorstSeriousPoliticianRepublicanActivityCrisisDemocraticBillionsErasPostsNeighborhoodUrgesVotersMinimumRepublican PartyDemocratic PartyStimulusHeadlinesPartisansGopPalsEconomic CrisisAcornsRegistrationCommunity OrganizingVoter Registration Author:Mark Steyn

We have governed badly and have earned the wrath of voters, who will learn in due course how inadequate the nostrums of liberal Democrats are to the crisis of our times.

“Here's Hillary Clinton getting away with tying the Republicans to rich people. She's tying the Republican Party to Wall Street, to the big banks. She's tying the Republican Party to the financial crisis in 2008. It's all their fault. She's tying herself as with the low-income crowd - and the average, ordinary middle class American - as their champion, as their defender. They don't know that it's not the Republicans in bed with banks. They don't know that it's the banks that are practically paying for and underwriting the Democrat Party and Hillary Clinton today.” PeopleKnowsBigsTodayPartyClassRichStreetsMiddleWallRepublicanBedLowsOrdinaryCrisisFaultsClintonDemocratFinancialAverageCrowdsIncomeChampionMiddle ClassGet AwayRepublican PartyRich PeopleDefendersFinancial CrisisLow Income Author:Rush Limbaugh
