Forgetting History


A memo from Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), head of the Senate Republican campaign effort, says of yesterday's election result that "voters realize that there is only one party who bailed out the automakers and insurance companies..."

It's interesting how soon Republicans have forgotten that it was actually President Bush who orchestrated the bailouts of both AIG and the automakers at the end of his term.

1. Dems should remind the public without sounding too sour

2. Their memories have ALWAYS been selective..toward their own benefit.

Remember...Giuliani said there were no domestic terror attacks during the Pres shit-for-brains admin? In their reality 9/11 happened under Clinton....duh!!

3. That's not forgetting history - it is deliberately re-writing history. nt

4. As I have said before,

to a repub there is only this moment. Yesterday didn't happen unless they say it did and tomorrow will never exist because when it comes it will be today, their moment of reality. They are never required to answer for their words or actions therefore, in their moment of reality, those words or actions never happened.
This would never happen if there were real journalists at work. Alas, there are not, so the beat goes on unabated.
