Almost 21 years of Lies and Crimes from Republican Presidents
Just a small - very, very small - collection of the lies and crimes of Republican Presidents over the last - almost - 21 years.

Reagan without sentimentality- Corruption in the Reagan administration




George HW Bush
Dan Quayle

Everything above plus the pardons and the cover-ups




"Bush said the prosecutions of the persons he was pardoning on Christmas Eve represent "what I believe is a profoundly troubling development in the political and legal climate of our country: the criminalization of policy differences."


S&L Scandal

"It was created by a deregulation bill in 1982 overseen at that time by Vice President George Bush.

From 1981 to 1988, the Reagan-Bush administration covered up the S&L debacle. It forced reductions in S&L examiners and fought against the top federal regulator, Ed Gray, who sounded the alarm. Charles Keating, the felon who drove Lincoln Savings into the most expensive S&L failure in history ($3 billion) considered Vice President Bush an ally in his efforts to force Gray from office. Only after he was safely elected president did Bush propose to reregulate the S&L industry in 1989.

Meanwhile, Neil Bush, private citizen, was getting a ''loan'' from a business partner. The partner invested the loan for the president's son with the agreement that if the investment succeeded Neil would get all the profits and repay the debt, but if it failed he would not have to repay. Neil knew that this business partner was not creditworthy and yet was borrowing over $100 million from Silverado S&L, where Neil was a member of the board. Neil did not warn Silverado that the borrower was not creditworthy. When Silverado failed, the Office of Thrift Supervision proposed a minor enforcement action against Neil, which the Bush administration then attempted to block."





George W. Bush
Dick Cheney

1. Thanks for the memories. How can anyone support these subversives?
The rat bastards have all the money and this country is full of gullible people.

I'm not very optimistic that we can stop them.

3. "Criminalization of policy differences"? Oh, yeah, that's the problem, alright.
Republicans have a policy of shadow government, and the Dems beg to differ. Funny thing is, it's **already** criminal, so there's nothing to criminalize.
