Mike, while I agree with your point about government doing nothing helps sometimes..I also know you know better than that about republicans' ability to do something without, at least, some dem support...
1. Bush and republicans, the feds have warned repeatedly about sub-prime, and were told by the dems, not to touch it, and that it was the republicans' life long desire to do away with the "public option" mortgage..if you are not aware of it, I will find you links..
2. republicans never had 60 votes..for the 100s times!!
3. who told you, I like EVERYTHING republicans and Bush did..far from it..I like the republicans and conservative principles, which a lot of them don't follow..
