Say it ain't so George, "the fox will come in sheep's clothing. . .", George W. Bush is going out with a bang a big socialist bang. The President has shown his true colors, he is bypassing Congress to extend $14 Billion to US Auto Makers. Socialist Bush is not what I voted for as a conservative.
President Bush is the one who got this bailout mania rolling, and there is no end in sight. Last night the Republican SHUT IT DOWN for a moment, but now George W. Bush is flipping on previous statements where he stated he would not use TARP money for the Auto Bailout unless Congress approved the measure. In Justin Quinn's article:
The Auto Bailout: More Proof of Bush's Conservative Betrayal
By George, He's done it again:
This time, President George W. Bush has circumvented the will of Congress -- and the people -- by announcing today that if the lawmakers on Capitol Hill won't give money to the Big Three automakers, he will.
Last night, Senate negotiations broke down on whether to send GM, Chrysler and Ford about $14 billion worth of aid for to keep their ailing companies from folding. It seemed as though Congress finally decided to take a tough-love approach and stop the flow of money that seems to be seeping from the US Treasury like a gunshot wound. The bleeding began whenCongress foolishly handed out $700 billion to the banking industry with no strings attached by way of the newly formed Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Apparently, Bush had other plans for the troubled auto manufacturers. He is now saying that, unless Congress acts with an aid plan first, he will give the last of the TARP money ($15 billion earmarked for banks) to the ailing car companies -- even though he said he wouldn't. Money and promises are to the Bush family like lice; some you you keep, some you give away.
Whether his extortion of Congress is successful is beside the point. Bush's final ugly act as president (we hope) will also be his final act of conservative betrayal (we hope). Let's take a look at how his conservative credentials have been compromised between when he was elected in 2000 and today:
- Bush campaigned as the Great Unifier. In 2000, he promised that, if elected, he would bring the country together, acting in a bipartisan manner by reaching across the aisle to get things done. In eight years, he has divided the country more than any other president in history and almost single-handedly lost the election for his would-be successor John McCain.
- Bush was elected as a compassionate conservative. After 9/11, Bush declared war on Iraq, which the nation later learned had little or nothing to do with al Queda's terrorist attack on New York and Washington, DC. The war has now lasted more than five years and has cost thousands of lives. Meanwhile, the conservative ideal of "a strong national defense" has been compromised by the diminished international reputation of the US.
- Bush campaigned on the promise that he would balance the national budget every year and ensure that the national debt remained at zero. After his first four years, the budget deficit was at an all-time high of $412 billion, and in eight years as president, Bush has never proposed a single balanced budget. Meanwhile on Sept. 22, 2008, the national debt under Bush reached its highest total in 50 years -- $10 trillion.
- Bush promised to create a true free-market economy by reigning in spending and reducing the size and scope of government. Under Bush, government has swollen to such an extent that it will have trouble finding money to fund all of its new programs (which will mean higher taxes, not program cuts), and it was the first administration in dozens of years to create a new cabinet-level position, complete with a new office and trillions of dollars in discretionary spending (the Office of Homeland Security).

- More Government intervention by old King George. As a conservative, the frustration boils over like spewing lava from a volcano. Not to mention old King George's interview with ABC News correspondent Cynthia McFadden:
-
- This is the exchange were old King George states that God's Word is not literally true:
-
- MCFADDEN: Is it literally true, the Bible?
BUSH: You know. Probably not ... No, I'm not a literalist, but I think you can learn a lot from it, but I do think that the New Testament, for example is ... has got ... You know, the important lesson is "God sent a son."
MCFADDEN: So, you can read the Bible...
BUSH: That God in the flesh, that mankind can understand there is a God who is full of grace and that nothing you can do to earn his love. His love is a gift and that in order to draw closer to God and in order to express your appreciation for that love is why you change your behavior.
MCFADDEN: So, you can read the Bible and not take it literally. I mean you can -- it's not inconsistent to love the Bible and believe in evolution, say.
BUSH: Yeah, I mean, I do. I mean, evolution is an interesting subject. I happen to believe that evolution doesn't fully explain the mystery of life and ...
MCFADDEN: But do you believe in it?
BUSH: That God created the world, I do, yeah.
MCFADDEN: But what about ...
BUSH: Well, I think you can have both. I think evolution can -- you're getting me way out of my lane here. I'm just a simple president. But it's, I think that God created the Earth, created the world; I think the creation of the world is so mysterious it requires something as large as an almighty, and I don't think it's incompatible with the scientific proof that there is evolution.
- Old King George, the darling of the Christian right and fiscal conservatives, in the last few days of his presidency is letting bare the sheep's clothing, President George W. Bush is a godless socialist who believes the Bible not to be literal, has given President-elect Barack Obama the goose that has laid the golden egg. The next 3-4 years President-elect Obama will be blaming Bush. All Bush needs to do is just say No, you have already created a avalanche with the $700 billion TARP bailout, now, you are going once again against the will of the people. It is not Barack Obama who is the godless socialist it is George W. Bush.
