RNC mulls accusing Bush of ’socialism’

The divisions taking hold among Republicans are becoming more severe as the party prepares to accuse its outgoing president of embracing “socialism.”
The slur that conservatives were so fond of lobbing at Barack Obama during the presidential campaign is now being directed toward President Bush and GOP lawmakers who supported federal bailouts of the banking and auto industries.
At its meeting next month, the Republican National Committee is set to vote on a resolution formally opposing the bailouts, accusing Bush of helping nationalize the banks and taking “another dangerous step closer toward socialism,” the Washington Times reports Tuesday.

“We can’t be a party of small government, free markets and low taxes while supporting bailouts and nationalizing industries, which lead to big government, socialism and high taxes at the expense of individual liberty and freedoms,” Solomon Yue, an Oregon member and co-sponsor of the resolution told the Times.
The resolution reads, in part:
“WHEREAS, the Bank Bailout Bill effectively nationalized the Nation’s banking system, giving the United States non-voting warrants from participating financial institutions, and moving our free market based economy another dangerous step closer toward socialism; and WHEREAS, what was needed, and is still needed, to fix the banking industry is not a bailout, but rather a commitment to fiscal responsibility.”
Republican leaders in both the House and Senate supported the Wall Street bailout, and GOP presidential candidate John McCain infamously “suspended” his campaign to return to Washington and whip up support for the bill. A Republican-led filibuster blocked the auto industry bailout in the Senate, but Bush decided to use some of the previously approved $700 billion to grant loans to the car companies.
During the campaign, accusations that Obama was a closet socialist proliferated on talk radio, conservative blogs and in McCain/Palin campaign speeches.
For the record, “The resolution also opposes President-elect Obama’s proposed public works program and supports conservative alternatives,” another co-sponsor told the Times.

Duh, this kind of lightning quick realization that makes our major parties the think tanks that they are.

Youve got to be joking. To hear the Reps say they need a Ron Paul makes me want to puke my gizzards. Only laughing and puking at the same time dont go well.
I literally cant wait for this big, big shock, thats coming Americas way. Its inevitable. Something so rotten at the core can’t survive. All we have to do now is sit back and watch as the outer part is nibbled. The rest will follow. Not long now folks. I give it less than a decade and it’s over. At least I hope so. I haven’t been watching this puppet show for 8 years not to see a reality TV ending where everybody gets exactly what they deserve and what they voted for. Though lets face it, it wont be a real ending. America is and has been for quite some time “up its own arse”. It ended almost 100 years ago. 1913 to be exact.
