Democrat's are responsible for the economic collapse!

Now before any of you Republicans start cheering and saying he's come around. Or before any of my free thinking friends start thinking he's lost his mind. Let me just tell you your both wrong.

What has happened to me though is after numerous debates I've had on here with certain stongent Republican supporters who post hubs stating this as fact. And use numerous deceptive links to often bias written articles, many of which offer different concepts of what, when, and who actually set in motion the events leading to the collapse. All while in most cases the point of their hub is targeted at the Democrats regaining the house and senate in 2006. And thus this prompted me to look more deeply into this concept a few months back.

And my intent was to write this hub at that time, but frustrations with the ugliness of the debate as well as other factors have put this on hold. But now I would like to share with those, who like me find this argument to be unfounded. As well as to shed some light for those who support, defend, and propogate it as fact. That based on my findings and considering what they say is fact of how awesome, powerful, controlling and just overall super human they are making these Democrats out to be.

Since the very precept of this myth is about past history why stop at 2006 lets go back even further. And since your basis for the myth is, the Democrats having control of the house and senate, lets have a little study in that history.

Now I will only be looking back to 1993 and this for two reasons.

1. As one of the links from one hub stating the economy was caused when the democrats took power in 2006 (a link which actually disproved the writer cj and the statement) was written by Karl Rove (no bias there) and pointed to 1992 and the change in the housing rules.
2. Going back this far will set the stage for how impossible it would have been for this myth to be true.

Okay let's look at some history of the party in power, the following info is from this link: http://uspolitics.about.com/od/usgovernment/l/bl_party_division_2.htm

• Year President House Senate
• 1993 Clinton Dem Dem
• 1995 Clinton Rep Rep
• 1997 Clinton Rep Rep
• 1999 Clinton Rep Rep
• 2001 Bush Dem* Rep
• 2003 Bush Rep Rep
• 2005 Bush Rep Rep
• 2007 Bush Dem Dem

* There were 50 Ds and 50 Rs until May 24, 2001, when Sen. James Jeffords (R-VT) switched to Independent status, effective June 6, 2001; he announced that he would caucus with the Democrats, giving the Democrats a one-seat advantage.

So here are a few points and the numbers that popped out to me.

1. Clinton had 3 years, 1992-1995 at the start of his term in which the Dems Controlled the House and Senate. Thus in his last 5 years, 1995-2000 the Reps were what we term the party in power, having control of the House and Senate.
2. Bush came into office in 2000 and had until as noted above a Rep House and Rep Senate until 2001 when the Senate was even until what amounts to June, 2001. Yet the Reps still maintained what we term as the party in power, having the President and control of the House.
3. In 2003 the Reps took back control of the Senate and maintained control of the House, and thus the party in power was the Reps having control of the Presidency, The Senate, and the House.
4. As opposed to Clinton, Bush enjoyed what amounts to 7 years of a Rep controlled House and 5 years of a Rep controlled Senate and House.
5. So from 1995-2007 or what amounts to 12 years the Reps were what we would term as The Party in Power in having, control of 2 or more branches of our Government.

So basically what one is saying in stating that it was when the Dems took control of the Senate and House in 2006 ( under a President with the power of a veto pen in hand) and then caused what almost became the fall as the economic world not just the United States. You would be saying that in 1 + years these Dems overturned and or destroyed 12 years of prior Republican policies and work, and all under a still Republican President with the power of veto.

And this my friend (if true) should leave us all standing in awe of the sheer power, might and majesty of these Dems. My what a miraculous feat of destruction, chaos and collapse they accomplished. I think this would also explain why Bush was so absent and silent during his last year. They must have used their super human powers to control him, or maybe they were secretly keeping him and Cheney drugged up and thus rendering them incoherent and lethargic that whole year.

Now if this doesn't get the point across of how ridiculous this theory is, I will point to the one undeniable factor that should prove to all Reps that this theory is not true. Here's a good link that explains what really caused the economic crisis. Ten steps to economic failure.

Bush or Cheney never said it!

I mean unless they are still being kept under mind control, or still secretly being drugged or maybe Christine O' Donnel had it wrong, it wasn't human brains being put into mice. They have replaced Bush and Cheney's brain with that of mice, thus leaving them two fully functioning humans with mice brains.

Uhm,,, no and you can not tell me if there was any truth to the concept that the Dems were the cause of the economic collapse. That Bush and Cheney would not be screaming it from the highest mountaintop, or at least be doing numerous interviews on the Fox Tabloid Network.

So this leaves me with only one thought about those who perpetually repeat this concept. I would suggest they may want to go get a CAT scan of their head. Hey if the Dems really have that much power which is what your saying, well the CAT scan is just something you might want to consider.

I want to close this with a few statements for those of you who now have just presumed and or labeled me a Liberal or for that matter a Dem.

• I am far from liberal.
• I think abortion is murder, and even more so I can't understand why it seems so hard, for some to understand when life begins? To me it is very clear and simple, once an egg has been successfully fertilized a life has begun. Or in other terms once a fertilized egg which without any outside interference would become a child, a life has begun. And this just seems to make very basic sense to me.
• I think trying to go further back than that in turn, would be like saying every man that ever masturbates is committing murder and every woman ever in the entire world has committed murder monthly from the time of puberty to menopause. Yeah it sounds silly to me to, I guess you would charge the women with egg neglect?? And I say this to say this is why I don't see a problem with stem cell research. And in fact if it could save life from researching it I say go for it, and by all means hurry up!
• I firmly believe in separation of church and state, and even more believe in it both ways. Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar's and unto God that which is God's. I hear many fellow Christians using the example of Christ turning over the money tables, in the Temple in defense of saying we should get involved in Government. This makes no sense to me, the Temple was the Place God designed and ordered built for people to worship and for sacrifice to Him. In turn we read nowhere of Christ going into the Romans places and doing this, and even to the tax collectors he simply stated exact no more than that owed not do not collect taxes. Here is a wonderful hub I read while I'm on taxes, Another way of thinking about taxes. I found this quite a refreshing and interesting read, please check it out!
• I didn't particularly choose to be a Dem. I however in being a Christian believe sin is sin, and in saying this I mean Bush and McCain can stand up all day and tell me their Christians until their blue in the face, and I'm sorry I'm not buying it. Neither one of these men ever professed anything that I know of, their entire lives that said christian, until they were running for office. In fact Bush was a drinker and even a cocaine user and McCain has a past history of being pro choice. As well Bush and his staff during his Presidency were proven over and over, to be flat out lying to us the people. Maybe as a christian you think lying is okay, and to that I would say your being lied to. In fact lying is usually at the very base of all and any sin period there's pretty much a whole chapter of the Bible dedicated to this read James.
• The people who now currently claim to be conservative and or Republicans have made me not want to have anything to do with with them period. And this for a few reasons, God does not hate fags, prostitutes, Muslims or even liberals in fact they are who Christ was crucified for. Ever read the scriptures " they that are whole (or healthy) have no need of a physician", or where the scribes and pharisees mocked Him saying, " This man receives publican's and sinner's and eats with them." If yes cool then stop being a scribe or pharisee your not doing anything by telling them God hates them and in fact your lying and (according to your theory) God hates you as well.

So I guess that's it and more in a nutshell, enjoy or get mad but above all stop lying, hating and trying to justify any of the crooks in our Government. Their all rats be honest with yourselves, well time for me to go I'm still trying to count those thousand points of light.
