Bush and the republican party... A gold mine for con men.
If you stop and think about it, they are literally a con-man's dream. Bush and his cronys are actually creating opportunities for con-men to prey on the fears and vulnerabilities of the middle and lower class population, who are faced with the double blow of withdrawal of the pensions that they thought they had from their place of employment and ongoing attempts to privatize social security.

The mindset that it takes for a President and/or a political party to deliberately push policies that would benefit the criminal element... Well, what can you say? :shrug:

1. the entire operation is a con.
tax cuts? hand the little guy $300 cash to blind him of the huge debt he'll have to pay so that the big boys can get $50,000.
iraq? we all know that was a lie so that energy prices could make for huge profits for exxon/mobil et al., along with huge profits for defense manufacturers, etc.

i could go on, but basically EVERYTHING THEY DO is a con. it's all about the embezzlement.
