They were busy collecting their benefits and watching FOX news.

If you had listened to Rush or Hannity or some other conservative radio host you would have heard them and their callers all complaining about Bush for that decision.

Yeah, they were there but nobody was listening then. It is not PC for a liberal to agree with a conservative, even if they do.

Getting conservatives to mob and demonstrate is a lot like herding cats through a shower. They just don't cooperate until they are well motivated.

Hannity was very much against it when it was proposed.
I don't remember if he called Bush a socialist though.
On the other hand Bush hadn't nationalized an industry by that time.

Because Bush wasn't black and he was a Republican. Sure, it's obviously racist and hyper partisan but it's also the truth when it comes to the tea baggers. They're really nothing more then Lenin's "useful idiots" as they get lead around by the nose by Dick Armey and the other Republican lobbying groups. If the tea baggers were really against bailouts and government involvement in industry then why hasn't there been one tea bagger rally to protest Wall St? Why has it all been typical Republican targets? I'll tell you why... Because GOP lobbying groups pay for all those buses, for the signs saying Obama is Hitler, and for those free donuts the tea baggers stuff in their fat faces.

Bush did get a lot of heat for signing that.

As for "Where were the Tea Parties"? Bush cut taxes. Remember? And Bush, while most of us agree he spent to much, didn't come close to the levels of spending of the Obama regime.

Bush also did not contribute to the loss of jobs we are seing now, which Obamas policies have accelerated. Bush understood what drives an economy. Obama does not. Bush cut the Capital Gains tax, Obama has increased it.

Obama is now talking about a national sales tax (VAT tax) which is so well hidden, they can increase it all they want, and you will never know how much you are paying. This will further rob you of income and buying power.

Think things are bad now? You "anint seen nothing yet". This guy has got to go.

Yes he was, and he was criticized for it. Didn't stop people from condemning him, though.

Yeah, but were they marching in the streets, carrying badly spelled signs?
