Anyone Who Wants to Abandon Accountablilty Must Have A Deathwish
by Ted Nugent
President Bush let Americans down last week and again Monday and Tuesday when he addressed the nation regarding our embarrassing financial mess.
When he had the opportunity to name the Fedzillacrats of both political parties responsible for the financial meltdown, he didnt do it. This isnt the man I voted for in 2000 or even 2004. He needs a testosterone injection.
We deserve to know exactly how this happened and have a right to know by name anyone that should be held accountable. President Bush didnt tell us that he supported any investigations to determine which Fedzillacrat is responsible for this mess and how it occurred. His speech was classic political hot air, and I for one am truly let down by the depth of abject soullessness in our disconnected government.
When he had the bully pulpit to provide us the information we have a right to know and he has an obligation to provide, he failed us.
President Bush is as responsible for this mess as any Fedzillacrat. While the president can truthfully claim that members of his administration warned members of congress of the pending economic meltdown of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, I dont recall President Bush mentioning the potential economic peril in one of his State of The Union addresses or any other presidential news conferences.
If President Bush thought Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other financial institutions were on financial thin ice, he should have used his presidential bully pulpit and warned us on any number of occasions. He had numerous chances to tell us and he failed to do so. As we have learned, bad news doesnt get better with age.
President Bush didnt tell us that Fedzillacrats such as Democratic Senators Dodd and Schumer and others were paid stacks of campaign donations by lobbyists of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to keep them, our representatives and our employees, from holding these quasi government institutions accountable.
These Fedzillacrats actually got Congress to pass a law that required lending institutions to make home loans to unqualified recipients. President Bush didnt tell us that either.
President Bush didnt tell us that stacks of tainted lobbyist money and shyster Fedzillacrats has more to do with this financial crisis than the irresponsible and quite possibly crooked CEOs and other business officers of the financial firms. Baby Face Nelson is monitoring Al Capone for us. Great.
While he did say a few words about our outdated laws and regulations and said he was a free market supporter, he didnt say he believed that less Fedzilla meddling in the market was better for the long-term for our economy. He didnt say that Fedzilla has no business in the home loan industry, and it doesnt. Thats what a free market champion would have said.
He didnt say he supported a wholesale ban on lobbyists for any financial institutions receiving our tax dollars to keep these troubled firms afloat. He should have. At a minimum, we deserve that.
He didnt say that all senior officers of the firms receiving bail out money would be fired and put under criminal investigation.
He didnt tell us that he was going to unleash the largest investigation in the history of the Justice Department to smoke out all the bandits that had anything to do with this. We deserve to see them put on trial and if found guilty, hauled off to jail. If our legal system can take the property of dope dealers, then we ought to be able to seize the financial assets of these bandits.
Americans have a right to know and should want to know which of our elected officials had anything to do with this mess and how much cash they received from lobbyists for turning a blind eye.
Washington DC stinks and is in worse condition than the financial industry. Fedzilla is a major source of all of our economic, social and cultural maladies. It stinks of cronyism, back handed political deals and corruption.
The Fedzillacrats deserve our scorn, contempt and anger. If any of them had an ounce of integrity they would resign and beg for forgiveness. Do your patriotic duty and vote them all out. They deserve it.
I want to know which Fedzillacrat is responsible and I want a solemn promise that these individuals will be held accountable. When I get that from the president, I will consider his bail out plan.

Wow Connie!
Mr. Nugent needs to spend some time reading on line, haha...the facts & official records of who is responsible have always been available to anyone willing to take the time to read & look for the truth. For the most part, fingers can be pointed in the direction of Liberal Democratic Politicians, as always whenever financial ruin happens in America. IE: from Nugents own comments;
1) "Fedzillacrats such as Democratic Senators Dodd and Schumer and others were paid stacks of campaign donations by lobbyists of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to keep them, our representatives and our employees, from holding these quasi government institutions accountable." (fact of record...Obama can be included as one of those Democratic Senators of which were paid stacks of campaign donations by lobbyists. Fact of record...Obama hired & placed on his campaign payroll, the 3 top former CEO's of Fannie Mae who are initially responsible for the Fannie Mae & Wall Street castrophe, & were charged by the Federal Government; see my blog post Politial Humor, Not Political Humor for copied & pasted factual records of such)
2)"These Fedzillacrats actually got Congress to pass a law that required lending institutions to make home loans to unqualified recipients." (A Democratic controlled Congress for the last several yrs, of which a Republican President has little to no persuasion over)
3) "stacks of tainted lobbyist money and shyster Fedzillacrats has more to do with this financial crisis than the irresponsible and quite possibly crooked CEOs and other business officers of the financial firms. Baby Face Nelson is monitoring Al Capone for us. Great. (what he doesn't mention here is that lobbyist money he's mentioning was on the Democratic side, fact of public record)
4) "Washington DC stinks and is in worse condition than the financial industry. Fedzilla is a major source of all of our economic, social and cultural maladies. It stinks of cronyism, back h
