Video: eight years of Bush policy wasn’t enough, says former GOP congressman

Unbelievable. Watch former Congressman J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) sink in the quicksand of Bush’s failed policies as Chris Matthews asks him a simple question—“would we be better off if we had eight more years like the eight we just had?” The dodging is hilariously painful to watch, but what’s delusional is that he attempts to blame the economic crisis on a “sneak attack” on the financial system by Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and George Soros. I’m not sh*tting you. Via the Jed Report:

Hayward: No, I’ll tell you what was bad. The sneak attack on our economy, the dress rehearsal of Indy bank, when Chick Schumer helped get that started and the guy in the background George Soros manipulating all the currency.

Matthews: What?

Hayward: You want to keep that going?

Matthews: You mean the economic situation we faced right now…J.D. you can talk fast but I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Oh my—the winged monkeys are aloft and soaring out of Hayworth’s *ss wearing tin foil hats.

Is this the guy who kept having freakouts about the Jews a few years ago?

Well, they have to be completely detached from reality, b/c reality spanks them in the butt with the fact that cutting taxes on the richest and putting the burden on the middle and lower classes fucks up the economy and the country.

W proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that fighting two wars while cutting taxes results in a massive annual deficit and massive debt.  W’s policies also proved once and for all that his father was right: “trickle-down” economics does not work…the rich only get richer and the middle class becomes poor as their wages stagnate.

They can’t use facts; they have to try conspiracy theories.  People love conspiracy theories—look at how many people really believe that Roswell was an alien abductor space ship crash.  If they can get the conspiracy theory out there, perhaps they can distract from the reality of class warfare, which is that the rich have been sucking away from the rest of us for decades now.

The thing about Soros: he’s really quite conservative, in the old sense of the word. Believes that business does best in a functioning democracy, that making up financial statements out of thin air is ultimately self-defeating, the kinds of things that hardly a single chamber-of-commerce republican from the pre-reagan era would have disagreed with. If he were anything like the liberal counterpart to wingnut billionaires that he’s portrayed as, the world would be a much different place.

Right, to crib from myself in another thread…

“WAAAAAHHH!  I want my Super Political Power Pal back!  I want the Dubya Expansion Pack with the Guantanamo Cyber-Soldiers!  WAAAAAAAHHH!  Gimme back my Congress, Mommy!  WAAAAAH!”

Ahem.

To repeat: the right wing has managed to infantilize itself.

Oh, God, it’s like Christmas every day!

What’s even better is that the “going John Galt” idea apparently has taken hold of the soft brains of current Congressman. I think the copyright on the name “Know-Nothing” Party has expired and that the current GOP, under truth-in-advertising laws, should have to resurrect it.

I thought we voted them all off the island.

No?

“I thought we voted them all off the island.”

We did.  But somehow they haven’t left yet…

(I can’t decide if that’s a good pun or not…)

The only possible response to that is, “Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.”

Comment #10: Mnemosyne  on  03/05  at  12:55 PM

BTW, the physical laws of the universe require Matthews to conduct Hayworth interviews remotely; if the two were in the same studio, the sheer quantity of loudmouthed assholery would cause some sort of rip in space-time.

Comment #11: norbizness  on  03/05  at  01:04 PM

Come on Hayward, just come out and say you think the Jews did it. You know you want to.

Comment #12: Jerry Vinokurov  on  03/05  at  01:32 PM

The Republican Party is committing suicide in front of our faces, and we don’t even have to help them.

Comment #13: Ben D.  on  03/05  at  02:06 PM

Just because we don’t have to help them doesn’t mean we can’t, does it?

After the last eight years, you wouldn’t take away our opportunity for good, clean fun, would you?

(If you say yes: I can whine like a Republican. I’ll hold my breath ‘til I turn blue. I’ll retain John Yoo as my attorney to prove Obama’s not a ‘murrican. Whatever…)

Comment #14: IllogicalPlanner  on  03/05  at  02:18 PM

Just because we don’t have to help them doesn’t mean we can’t, does it?

Yes, we can sell them the rope for sure.

Seriously, I’d much rather compete against a Libertarian or Green Party as the second major Party at this point.

Comment #15: Ben D.  on  03/05  at  02:32 PM

It’d be more challenging and more fun. Right now beating the Republicans in politics is about as satisfying as beating John McCain in Street Fighter IV. Sure, you’re winning every round, but he’s holding the controller upside down!

Comment #16: Ben D.  on  03/05  at  02:33 PM

Great, now I have an image of McShame as Dan Hibiki in my head.  Thanks loads.

Comment #17: Blue Fielder  on  03/05  at  05:05 PM

Soros? This guy’s a piker. What about the Bilderbergers and the Trilateral Commission?

And how about people who dine at Lou Malnati’s? (Lou Malnati—Illuminati: coincidence? I don’t think so.)

Comment #18: Hector B.  on  03/05  at  06:04 PM

Now, Hayward, let’s move on to flouridation.
