RIGHT-WING HACK JOE SCARBOROUGH ADMITS HE WAS ENTIRELY WRONG IN SUPPORTING BUSH
MSNBC Host Contradicts Everything He Has Previously Said And Admits President Bush’s Economic Record And Policies And Plan For Social Security Are A Disaster For The Nation
by John S. Ashton
DECEMBER 10, 2004 - It’s all starting to unravel, folks. The massive right fraud and disaster perpetrated on America is coming apart, and the right-wing rats are beginning to run for cover.
The entire re-election campaign of George W. Bush was based on a simple lie: just give us one more chance, everything is just about to get better.
Well, whether or not people bought the lie, it remains a lie. And so now the disasters, economic, foreign policy, are starting to manifest so massively that the right-wing shills can no longer just say everything is fine. And today, President Bush’s fake fiscal conservatism became such an obvious fraud that MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough came out and admitted supporting President Bush and the Republican economic policies was a huge mistake.
From his MSNBC column (see: Congressional memo to future generations: You're screwed) today:
“Your government has already borrowed almost $8 trillion that it can't pay back. Guess who will have to write the check? That's right. You.
“Expect massive tax hikes in your future, and wicked cuts in national defense, education, environmental enforcement, police protection and medical care for the poor and elderly.
“Oh, you say the poor should pay for their health care just like you? Fine.
“Wait till you have to crawl over 3-year-old kids dying on the front steps of the emergency room where you are taking your kids and then you will be asking yourself if it was really wise for this generation of politicians to spend money as responsibly as pot heads in an open-all-night grocery store.
“And guess what these politicians who have already straddled you with an $8 trillion debt plan to do as soon as Congress gets back in session?
No, guess. Really. You'll love this.
“They plan to plunge America into debt by $2 trillion more dollars!”
Yes, exactly what we and people who supported Kerry have been saying all along.
But notice one thing about his comments: he never once uses the words “Republicans” or “President Bush.”
Yes, you know what is coming next. The lying scum of the Bush/Limbaugh right is about to try and somehow blame the Democrats for the economic disasters they have created. We know they are absolutely unwilling to ever accept responsibility for anything and that they only exist as an arm of the Republican National Committee to lie and spin to get GOPers elected.
And so while Scarborough even admits he is with Paul Krugman now, and clearly is echoing exactly what Kerry warned about all election long, he doesn’t have the balls to admit he was wrong all along, that supporting Bush was an asinine idea, even if his comments are a direct admission of all this.
Look at some more from his column:
“You see, they've got this really cool plan to privatize parts of Social Security that usually make free market conservatives like myself giddy. We start talking about the invisible hand and the power of market forces.
“Only problem is that this plan to get government off our backs costs a cool $2 trillion in transition fees.
“And— let me see if you are following me here— who pays for that?
That's right. YOU!”
Yep, suddenly he hates Bush and his stupid privatization plan. He even admits the whole idea would be a disaster even if we didn’t have to borrow $2 trillion to do it:
“…capitalism also always produces losers, and we all know that there will be millions of Americans who will make stupid investments in the coming years. (See Enron, etoys, Pets.com, Worldcom)
“So what will happen when they retire and start complaining to their local congressman and TV camera crews about how they're about to be thrown out in the streets because of the dumb investments they made with their Social Security payments years ago?
“Congress will pass the "Save Our Stupid Seniors Investment Relief Act of 2025," thereby guaranteeing that all Americans will have all Social Security payments restored in full.”
Exactly. Just as Kerry supporters said all along.
Nice to see you now realize Bush and his economic policies are horrible for America, Joe. But still pathetic to see you are not going to stop being a lying right-wing pussy and admit that, no, it is not “politicians” who did all this, it is “George Bush and Republican politicians” – and not the Democrats, who were sensible and protested these stupid policies all along.
Be ready, Bush’s disasters one by one are going to begin coming home to roost, and the lie they used, that you had to vote for them because everything was just about to fix itself, can’t be used anymore. They said the Iraqi insurgents were just waiting for the election. They said they would cut the debt in half. They said their plan for Social Security wasn’t a disaster that was guaranteed to cost people benefits. Just stick with them and you’ll see.
Well, you won’t see. And so now they need a new plan, and Joe is helping to lead that. And it will be to blame not Bush, not Republicans, but, if you can imagine, the Democrats. Yes, your read right. The Democrats are responsible for the debts Bush’s tax cuts created, they are about to argue, the Democrats are responsible for the Social Security disaster Bush is proposing.
The flat out evil of the amoral, lying Bush/Limbaugh right is astounding beyond belief. But what you now know – as if there was doubt – is that they are aware that the policies they are pushing are disastrous for America.
Regardless of what spin they put on it, we at The Moderate Independent will nail them every time they admit they have destroyed the nation. And you can help. Send Joe an e-mail at Joe@msnbc.com and tell him, “Thank you for admitting you were wrong to support Bush and the GOP and their asinine economic policies, and that Kerry and the Democrats were right all along.” Let him know how glad you are he didn’t turn out to be a ballless, lying prick who would care so little for his nation and have such a complete lack of morals that he might not admit it is the GOP and President Bush’s fault for the debt disaster we are experiencing. Tell him how glad you are he would never show himself to be that brand of lying pussy.
The truth is coming home to roost. And heads are about to roll. Scarborough is trying to save his. Let’s give him a swift kick in the ass to let him know he has only two choices: openly and fully repent for his sins, or suffer a horrible demise.
