This was beyond predictable when I saw that he returned. Can't wait to see the warnings start piling up on fellow conservatives. Typical....

Just for some clarification - it seems that there was a first thread with a wrong title that got deleted before Soly re-started the thread.
The two posts that got lost in this process were the following:

So neither of the post was on the original topic but seemingly only about the misleading topic title.

Sorry - no conspiracy here today

Holy cow, Bush appointed people who agree with him on what he wants to do. I bet that's never happened before. And I bet Bill Clinton never did that, and if he did, he didn't do it as badly as Bush. Nope, everything Bush does is not only bad, but worse than anyone else before him.

PS. Gawain, PJ, would you guys mind PMing me your posts, if you still have (remember) them, for curiosity's sake? EDIT: That may not be necessary now.

Thank you for the explanation Ser Clegane. I knew it wasnt because of any attack on the left by me.

Just thought the higher ups might have lost their sense of humor. Good to see its still intact.

The orginal title didn't have the word "Bush" in it, not a big diff in my book- but whatever.

Two of those appointeees really stand out as cause for concern .
The fellow who is supposed to ensure that drugs are safe , but seems more concerned about the profitability of pharmacutical giants .
The fellow in procurement , he wouldn't be the one who awarded most of the Katrina contracts on a no-bid basis would he . To the same companies that got so much of the no-bid Iraq contracts .
It does look like certain people are helping their corporate buddies to fleece the tax-payer .
Is that what Government agencies are supposed to be doing ?
I thought they were supposed to fleece the tax-payer for the benefit of the country , not for corporations .

Since some people are complaining that they cannot get their message out here , let me oblige .
This is all rubbish , people are only saying it because they hate Bush .

Hear, hear!

Besides, it does show that Republicans have the balls to reward their campaign supporters after getting the power. Liberal pinko panty-waist Democrats would never dare do that!
