   With all respect to Doom friend Bill Maloni, quashing F&F lobbying would have been a really good idea.

   Well, a lame duck need not pay much attention to his base support, but …

   “Bush & conservatives: The affair is over”, by Ann McFeatters, Capitol Hill Blue, August 1, 2008.
   

   How odd that President Bush, once a darling of conservatives, will come to be loathed by most of them.

   Bush’s legacy, all but set in stone as his days in office dwindle, will not only be the crippling war in Iraq, which he will leave to his successor to end, but stunning changes in government.

   He just signed an astonishingly vast housing law, dismaying many conservatives. After threatening a veto, he privately, without the press to record the moment, signed a measure supposed to keep as many as 400,000 homeowners out of foreclosure (although more than 3 million are in trouble). But it also puts the government in the housing market in ways nobody can foresee and gives mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac an unlimited line of credit. Three out of four Republican lawmakers opposed it.

   DeMint is great – wish he were running for Pres. BTW John, Conservatives never thought either Bush was a Conservative – that is only a media moniker. And Maloni was simply an F&F pusher – and now, we see why it didn’t, doesn’t, and will not make sense.
