Predatory Politicians
Written by Benaiah on October 7th, 2008Newt Gingrich lays out what Senator McCain must do right now to turn things around. In particular and to reiterate Sam’s earlier post, McCain must explain what caused our economic crisis. This is a hail mary. I believe McCain missed a great opportunities in the last debate to tie Senator Obama and the Democrats to this economic crisis. He must also ring the bell that it is only the beginning if Senator Obama wins.
Clearly, by any reasonable standard, the Bush-Paulson stewardship of the economy has failed.
But the Barack Obama-Barney Frank-Chris Dodd-Nancy Pelosi-Harry Reid-left-wing policies of big government, high taxes, more litigation, and insider deals for their left-wing special interests will be even worse.
We’ve heard a lot about predatory lenders in this current economic crisis. They deserve their share of the blame. But it’s time to introduce a new term that gets us closer to the real roots of this crisis: Predatory politicians.
Predatory politicians are much more dangerous than predatory lenders. Predatory politicians have the power of the government to coerce you.
Government under Obama, Frank, Dodd, Pelosi and Reid will be government by and for predatory politicians. It will make dealing with predatory lenders seems like a walk in the park.
