Bush, Cheney & McCain: Socializing What's Private & Nationalizing What's Public
Republicans Bush, Cheney and McCain have supported privatizing large responsibilities of the U.S. Armed Forces by outsourcing to crony corporations like Blackwater and Halliburton.

And yet, on the other hand, Republicans Bush, Cheney and McCain have now nationalized (socialized) the entire home Mortgage Industry.

However, Republicans Bush and Cheney are determined to privatize Social Security and let Americans "invest" their mandated retirement deductions into the stock market and end the Social Security system as we know it.

And yet, on the other hand, Republicans Bush, Cheney and McCain are now suggesting that we nationalize (socialize) a great deal of the U.S. Banking Industry, as soon as within the next few days.

However, Republicans Bush, Cheney and McCain want to privatize our public shorelines and national public parks for drilling for oil.

And yet still, Republicans Bush, Cheney and McCain are outspoken against what they see as a danger in nationalizing the health-care industry, or "turning it over to the government" even though all three of these men have been beneficiaries of government health-care the majorities of their entire lives.

Erratic? Breathtakingly so.

2. Shocking...given this Wall St. Implosion and "Bail Out" that any Repug
would have the audacity to still keep hawking that line about "Privatize SS" allow the young to invest in the Market.

Leads me to believe that the only way they can keep that "Dead Market going on Wall St." is to put through legislation to prop up that old dying horse...that stood them so well for decades....

Sickening!

K&R!

3. Yeah. And I am getting too old to start all over again.
This rightwing, corporatism is getting personal now. It's not an academic exercise.
