Ridge... You're wrong on so many fronts, and it doesn't take long to prove you wrong. Deregulation is also fucking terrible for the economy. Bush deregulated banks, banks did what they did and fucked the economy. But of course, you ignore facts and substitute what you prefer to believe.

Wrong again sir. [editline]04:25PM[/editline] It was bushes idea that banks should give subprime loans. Or at the very least, someone made it his idea so he could put that in action.
Conservatives....

I am definitely going to watch this! Looks good (besides the unneeded shitty animation).
[QUOTE=Ridge;23926347]Sub primes were very bad ideas.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;23926567]Besides the fact you have an obviously biased source, Clintons part in this is a lot smaller than that of bush's.[/QUOTE] Here is Business Week agreeing with me: [url]http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/hotproperty/archives/2008/02/clintons_drive.html[/url] How can you say Bush had a bigger part when it was an addition to Clinton's work? He would have had nothing to build on had the first law not been passed in the mid 90s.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;23926567]Besides the fact you have an obviously biased source, Clintons part in this is a lot smaller than that of bush's.[/QUOTE] Clinton started it. Besides the fact, you're just another person on the hate Bush wagon.
[QUOTE=Ridge;23926347]Sub primes were very bad ideas.

[editline]01:41AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Ragy;23926837]Clinton started it.

Right, so we all actually LOVE Bush, we all think he was a great president and was the best in the world but we refuse to accept it and we want to look cool for hating a guy with like 20% approval rating.
[QUOTE=Warhol;23927398]That didn't cause a recession.[/QUOTE] Neither did Bush's addendum (that means addition) to it...
What a dumb concept, but of course it'll find adherents. Somehow Reaganomics among that range of folk has gotten the perception of being infallible and a solution. Yet reaganomics has virtually dominated the general politcal-economic agenda of the past 30 years. I know there was a Harrison Bergeron short film that came out earlier this year (2081), and wingnuts saw it as part of the big gubmint PC sentiment, though Vonnegut has said on a number of occassions that's not how he wished his work to be interpreted.
[QUOTE=Ridge;23929119]Neither did Bush's addendum (that means addition) to it...[/QUOTE] Bush contributed greatly, it started with Ronnie McReagan, one of the worse presidents in history.

So would [URL="http://www.gallup.com/poll/11887/ronald-reagan-from-peoples-perspective-gallup-poll-review.aspx"]Gallup[/URL], which lists Reagan as being one of the Top 10 Americans as polled by other Americans, on 30 seperate occasions.
yeah that's a poll i think i've said this 4 times now, if the tea party hates taxes and the national deficit, why do they worship ronald reagan who heavily rose taxes and created most of today's massive deficit

spending money on an anti-spending movie good job
wow a thread about what basically is the conservative version of a Michael Moore movie, and instead of it being full of people saying how stupid it looks and how stupid what they're saying is, it ends up turning into a liberal and conservative shit throwing contest talking about how ignorant and insane republicans and all conservatives are and how naive and mislead all democrats and liberals are. Then again I didn't expect much better of facepunch. Wow, just wow, warhol I really hope you're trolling. Capitalism brought Greece down? CAPITALISM?!? Even my farthest left leaning friends are able to admit they brought it on themselves through unbelievably stupid socialist policies.
No sorry Micheal Moore actually cares about the shit that comes out on the screen, this looks like Veggie Tales x10000 Teabagger Edition. [editline]02:52PM[/editline] Fahrenheit 9/11 made over $200mil in theaters, I'd like to see this garbage make 1/20th of that.

Not to mention bombings of Libya which murdered many innocents. The man was a monster.
