blzrul Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Of course Michael Steele is...sort of a loser. But I do find it ironically funny that on the same day an article about the GOP "remaking" itself appears, we see this. However I guess I can take him at face value...IF his own party jumps on him with both feet for making the statement. If they don't, then we'll know they're just working on puttin more lipstick on the GOP (Grand old pig). Steele: 'Disingenuous' for GOP to blame Dems' economic plans Posted: 01:00 PM ET From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby WASHINGTON (CNN) – Michael Steele said Thursday that it's "disingenuous" for Republicans to blame Democrats for their handling of the economy because the GOP "jumpstarted" the situation. "Look, we can't go back out and start pointing fingers at the Democrats and saying 'Look at how bad they're performing, look at what they're doing with the economy,' when we jumpstarted this thing," Steele said on MSNBC. "We were the ones who put $700 billion on the table and said 'Alright, let's start nationalizing the banking system,'" he said. "So now for us stand back and go 'Oh look, that's a bad thing to do' is disingenuous." Filed under: Michael Steele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dems saw that $700b and raised it another $800b and I don't think they're even close to being done. The game ain't over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steele is saying their 700b is as bad as the Dems, and you won't even concede it's all bad. Only the DEM $$ is bad. What may be in the future, you don't know. If CNN has their way we'll all be dead from H1N1. Ah but you never disappoint me. So quick to jump in and support my hypothesis. Tks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tks! I thought I've made it clear here many times that the original $700b was bad and adding to it makes it worse. Nice try deb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 As I said back inS ept, the $700 bil was a bad, but very necessary idea. We were days away from a total collapse and that bill calmed the markets tremendously. I don't like it, but it was necessary. Agreed, that Rs blaming Ds is foolish.

IDBillzFan Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Now that the GOP has finally fessed up to their part, maybe Obama will stop talking about the deficit he "inherited." Given that he voted for the spending which led to the deficit prior to his inauguration, it was clearly not his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 According to the GOP Micheal Steele is not part of the GOP. So I think your story is a bit misleading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
