Former Reagan Policy Advisor Bruce Bartlett Explains How Bush Facilitated Economic Mess

[woodsprout]

Great comment worth repeating:

Bruce Bartlett is a real Republican, not a right-wing nutcase. He discusses issues, not talking points. He also points out that Obama is really a "moderate conservative" and agrees with so many of us that liberal Democrats should be "pretty upset" at that fact. All told, this is the first reasonable discussion I've seen between the left and right. It brings back old times when people could actually discuss politics without being armed. Sanity did walk in the door.

Throw in Iraq and Republican Mush Junior is responsible for about 55% of the 14 trillion in debt.

Call them what they are: tax SPENDING. When you are borrowing money from China to appease the cheap patriots, it's SPENDING. Shame on the tbaggers wanting to kick the can down the road to their children and grandchildren so they can put a nickel in their pocket. This great country has allowed people & corps to benefit from free enterprise, our ports, roads, electrical grid, water & sewer systems yet they don't want to pay for it. A broken down American will be their legacy, what else is new?

[echoplex89]

bartlett is pretty exception considering that 99.8 percent or republicans are unwilling to admit that they're are/were wrong about the economy.

Dude, seriously. This must be a joke. But as what inevitably happens to all jokes, the funny is gone. I made my point but your responses have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt the kind of person you are. Unless you're kidding; which is the dark magic of the internet, isn't it? Either way, you may continue to badger me if you must and I may respond at my leisure. But know this: you will give up before me, I promise you.

@dfdrox When gives obama the Obummer the finger and Bombs Iran and Pedophile mecca do not cry

[dfdrox]

@freedombase When you're picked up by a black helicopter while wearing your tinfoil hat and thrown into a black site where you're raped and sodomized by an Obama impersonator...don't cry. Just go with it.

[RETIRE2024]

REPUBLICANS HATE FACTS!!!!!!!  ITS YOUR DEPRESSION REPUBLICANS OWN IT!!!!

[politicalarticles]

@freedombase --Man, you are very sick. Get help!

[dfdrox]

@freedombase Wow. You have no cogent argument, whatsoever. Name calling is the refuge of the cosmically stupid. It's obvious that you're a xenophobic, pseudo-patriot who obviously doesn't understand how representative democracy actually works. And for the record, corporatist oligarchs rule the day. Until you realize that, you'll be led to the slaughter with the rest of the sheep.

Watch out! The black helicopters are coming and your tinfoil hat is showing!

[freedombase]

@dfdrox America is a Constitutional Republic try again moron and i am not not the Liberal hero Moore and Rosie who say the Jews did 9/11

[dfdrox]

@freedombase Really? You're trying to school me on civics? Look Tea Bagger; give up the ghost. Your kind will be relegated to the trash heap of history. School children will be cracking jokes about the Tea Baggers for generations to come - assuming your brethren don't ruin the country in the meantime.

All that being said; I'm beginning to wonder if you're actually serious. If not, good one. If so, you should be dragged, kicking and screaming, to your painful and lengthy death. I volunteer.

[freedombase]

@dfdrox Look Muslim terrorist you Muslim socialist Democrooks who want to Kill every non muslim and Jew for Islam will be dealt with by American Tea Party Hero's. and your Threats against Israel are being reported to the NSA and Mossad.

[SpitfireOFatj]

@freedombase "America is a Constitutional Republic"

Rome was a Republic. It was lead by a dictator for life.

On the bright side, they knew how to throw a party.

[freedombase]

@SpitfireOFatj America is a constitutional republic get over it liberal

[Bartleby1701]

@freedombase ...which is a form of democracy. What's your point?

[freedombase]

@Bartleby1701 no its a form of government where mob rule does not exist

[SpitfireOFatj]

@freedombase "America is a constitutional republic get over it liberal"

You idiots only say that because "Republican" has the word "Republic" in it. As if you OWN this country.

The "People's Republic of China" also has the word "Republic" in it. As does "The Republic of Congo" "The Republic of Yemen, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, and then there's The Republic of Uzbekistan where the dictator likes to boil people alive but is considered a "friend and ally" because he let's us have a base there.

[freedombase]

[nassah23]

@freedombase Shut up you idiot tbagger...How the fuck can you reconcile the facts of your love for the saudi news channel aka foxnews and your hatred for muslim terrorist jew killer...when the second largest shareholder in News Corp. -- the parent company of Fox News --terrorist sympathizer SAUDI Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to causes linked to terrorism against jews..fox news is part owned by a MUSLIM WAHHABIST who financed Palestinian suicide bombers..

[freedombase]

[nassah23]

@freedombase I see that your ignorance know no boundaries,you stupid bagger..Maybe you think ignorance is a vertue.Too lazy to seek out real answers,you opt instead to sit passively on your brain listening to right wing nuts on your radio or watching the talking heads on the saudi news channel waiting for some easy to remember sound bite or bumper sticker.FACTS..News Corp/foxnews gave $2 Million to the GOP.Foxnews aka the saudi channel is part owned by bin tatal.Do the math you stupid tbagger.

[babydol012]

Raising taxes is good for the economy? Imagine that. Explains why republcans oppose it. The Koch Brothers Teasters want to turn America into China. But we're not going to let them do that are we..

[Stephanjnj]

As far as Republicans go, ignorant is too kind of a term, suggesting a mere lack of factual information. Stupid and/or crazy is the better description.

[wittumy]

What's funny is that there is a website, the Red State that claims to address this video and it too avoids every single issue Bartlett brought up. wWen will the Republicans ever address the issues at hand? The answer is when you peddle misinformation you can't afford to. They will always change the subject or start calling names. They talk big until challenged....then they go flacid.

[freedombase]

@wittumy Bartlett  is a Anti American bastard who backs the Muslim terrorist Obama and Hates Capitalism.

Reagan would have told this Bartlett that he was nothing but a TRAITOR

[politicalarticles]

@freedombase -- Over the duration of this debt debate, the "fair" press, not "Fixed News" -- has clearly demonstrated that Ronald Reagan's "socialist" policies would be unwelcome by today's Tea-Bagging extremists.

[freedombase]

@politicalarticles the Socialist Press aka Dictator Odumbos Propaganda wing only showed what Odumbo wanted shown

[wittumy]

@freedombase It's funny when people call you what you are...phonies! Bartlett is not Anti-American who doesn't hate capitalism at all. He lays it all out there pal......rebut what he says instead of whining like this......I'll be waiting. Don't you hate it when people like him expose your lies? No, Reagan would be telling this current group of phony Republicans to get the hell out of Washinton....that they are embarrassing him and his once grand party.

[freedombase]

@wittumy Reagan was not a republican he was a Conservative and its Conservatives who is fighting the Obama Dictatorship. Rinocrats are wanting to bow to to the Obama Dictatorship

[SpitfireOFatj]

@freedombase Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?

[freedombase]

@SpitfireOFatj Tell me Democrat why are you aiding the Holocaust of the Jews by Islam?

[SpitfireOFatj]

@freedombase That's what I suspected,....a LOT....

[freedombase]

@SpitfireOFatj tell me why do you WANT to Kill Jews for Islam and Obama?

[GL0BEmaster]

@freedombase Reagan was a liberal socialist to you idiots. He cut defense spending, raised taxes, raised the cap AND the rate on social security taxes, and negotiated with both communists AND terrorists.

You HATE Reagan, and you HATE America.

[freedombase]

@GL0BEmaster What BS Reagan Rebuilt the Military/Slapped the Muslim dogs and their communist pig masters down. Reagan had the Pedophile soviets and Muslim Pigs screaming for mercy

[SpitfireOFatj]

@freedombase You idiot, Reagan was a "B" movie actor that gave speeches. That's all. He would speak out against Ayatollah Khomeini for the American audience and then sell Iran weapons to fund an illegal CIA war in Central America.

Also Reagan "cut and run" from Beirut after terrorists murdered marines with a car bomb.

Oh, and I bet you didn't know Carter actually served in the armed forces while Reagan could only tell stories from movies he saw.

[wittumy]

@SpitfireOFatj Let's not forget to tell freedombase that the Reagan administration gave us Osama Bin Laden and Jihad...a way to get other arabs to use religion as motivation against the Soviets in Afghanistan. That worked out well for us didn't it?

[freedombase]

@wittumy More lies from a Muslim terrorist lover bin laden was not even Native and was told to shut up and be quiet

[wittumy]

@freedombase Is that English you're speaking freedom? What are you trying to say there little fella?

[freedombase]

@SpitfireOFatj Carter was a Muslim Spy who helped Muslims Kill Jews and Americans. Reagen cleaned up Jimmy Jihad Carters many messes

[SpitfireOFatj]

@freedombase Hey, dumbass. Did you know Jimmy Carter teaches Sunday School in a little church in Plains, Georgia?

[freedombase]

@SpitfireOFatj Jimmy Jihad Carter Backs the Holocaust of Israel he is the Male Hanoi jane fonda

[wittumy]

@freedombase You are insane. Reagan was a Republican who was hardly a conservative in action...just words. True conservatives don't triple the national debt, never balance the budget or stick their noses into other countries business as he did repeatedly. There is no dictatorship in this country....you're just proving you have deep throated the right wing extremist line. You and your type are toast.....even conservative economists like Bartlett are calling you out. Ha Ha charade you are.

[freedombase]

@wittumy Reagan was no RINOCRAT you Muslim tool he was a staunch conservative who had to clean up the Cowards Jimmy Jihad Carters mess which included bow tot he Pedophile Iranians and destroying the Military. it was Reagan who told the Nazi Pedophile Jew Killing Iranians to either release American Hostages or he would be sending the bombers airborne and the Muslim Clerics Peed their panties and released the Americans and begged Reagen for their lives. Bartlett is just a RINO Judas TRAITOR

[SpitfireOFatj]

@freedombase Dude, Reagan sucked. You guys have turned him into a religion.

[freedombase]

@SpitfireOFatj Reagan is a Man Odumbo can never hope be. In the end odumbo will be booted from office and laughed at by Americans

[SpitfireOFatj]

@freedombase Guess what? America is disappointed with Obama because they thought they had elected an FDR Liberal and got another Centrist who wants to get Republicans to like him.

The way to handle with Republicans after they crashed the economy and lied us into a war is to first put them in cuffs.

[SpitfireOFatj]

'@wittumy "Ha Ha charade you are."

Funny, you just know the Floyd reference when right over his head.

[freedombase]

@freedombase Reagan would have thanked the American Hero Breit Bart then salpped the Muslim terrorist Obama bin laden down like Israels Leader did.

Reagan told the Muslim Terrorist in Iran either release the hostages are you will have to Deal American bombers and Navy Seals

[SpitfireOFatj]

@freedombase You idiot. Reagan was a traitor that cut a deal with Iran to hold onto the hostages until after he was sworn in. Then he sold them anti-tank rockets. You idiots really believe Iran was intimidated by an old "B" movie actor.

[freedombase]

@SpitfireOFatj No liberal he did not Iran's pedophile Leaders saw that Reagan was gonna win and understood that Reagan was a Man unlike the Jew Killing Pedophile Jimmy Jihad Carter

[dfdrox]

At 5:05 Mr. Bartlett says all that needs to be said. Those in Congress who are lying to Americans about the debt ceiling need to be thrown out of office. This Congress is what you get when Murdoch's media empire poisons the minds of very, very stupid people in this country - of which there are way too many. Tea Baggers couldn't pass a citizenship test if their lives depended on it, and many should abstain from voting because they are not acquainted with the facts. Period.

[freedombase]

@dfdrox the Tea Party will defeat you muslim terrorist Jew Killing Socialist thugs and this Bartlett is nothing but a TRAITOR like Benedict Arnold

[dfdrox]

@freedombase I have news for you, moron. If you pay into Social Security and Medicare, and expect to receive those benefits - as your parents and grandparents do or did - then you're a socialist just like me. The biggest problem this country faces is fact-free assholes such as you that get the majority of their opinions spoon-fed to them by Fox News and their ilk. In today's cesspool of overwhelming stupidity - exemplified by your kind - Reagan couldn't get elected dogcatcher. Go fuck yourself.

[politicalarticles]

@dfdrox -- "Fact-Free Assholes" -- LOL! I am adopting it from now onwards. Brilliant!
