Bush did not look very confidant last night. He sounded like it, but the only attitude I picked up from both he and Cheney was, "I can't believe we're still here saying these things."
Today, we have blatantly obvious evidence in the housing market that UNREGULATED capitalism is bad for our economy, our nation, and our people. We need oversight, competition and fiscal responsibility.
Today, it is obvious that we can't afford two foreign occupations, or to bail out our banks, or to fund children without health insurance, when we give enormous tax breaks to the rich.
Republicans, as evidenced by the FISA fight in Congress and the Presidency right now, are wrong when they put the rights of corporations to break the law ahead of civil rights. This is not constitutional, it is fascism. It is the extreme representation of how far certain members of our government will go to let our banks and businesses off the hook from old fashioned, patriotic responsibilities toward our common good.
