Comments on: Bush OKs Tough Product Safety Rules

Following Panel Recommendations, President Proposes Recall Authority For The FDA

Back when I was in the machining business a J.a.p. machine tool company would import their million dollar machines to Mason (?) Oh., then add a made in America label. The only thing made in America was the frickin'' label!!

Is Ron Paul the antidote to Bush? Better consider Paul''s attitude to democratic government, first.

Paul boosters plead what they believe are his positive points, but by any standard, this is only damnation by faint praise for Paul. Paul is only a Bush Republican who never endorsed all the neocon globalist thinking and money driving Bush.

And while Bush and Paul may differ here and there on foreign affairs, their policies at home are much closer. Both are cheerleaders for lessez faire-- the policy that brought us everything from Enron to the still rampaging mortgage bust on Wall Street.

Paul and Bush also follow the Grover Norquist view that government is the problem, not the solution. Unfortunately, like most Bush slogans, that doesn''t describe America or its problems.

For example, it was private insurance sector incompetence which left America behind Cuba in infant mortality, which left us paying 2.5 times more for healthcare than the EU and with 47 million of us medically uninsured as "subprime" risks.

And it was a private, not public sector mortgage fiasco that dropped the DOW 250 points and left 650,000 Americans foreclosed out of their own homes-- all due to fine print and the "wisdom" of the market.

Ron Paul, by his stated beliefs, endorses more of the same-- and America simply cannot afford another Bush.

"Bush OKs Tough Product Safety Rules"

Or he''s gonna waterboard ''em.

Ha, what a joke. Get tough on toys, heck with child care.

[alphaa10-2009]

Globalists and free traders, frequently advocating fewer consumer protections in the form of governmental requirements and standards (for the sake of efficiency, of course, not merely to fatten the bottom line of the multinationals) hate news articles like the spate of recent concerns about lead in imported toys, melamine in pet food, cardboard in human food, etc.

Now that Bush must do damage control to shore up his sagging polls, do we suppose he hasn''t consulted his corporate clientele about how to introduce the least effective consumer protections?

This is "Consumer Safety Lite", a reminder of the time Bush told the EPA to adopt policy that actually would increase mercury emissions from coal-fired plants.

To know the inner Bush regarding consumer product safety, all we must do is review the CPSC''s recent history. The agency was decimated of its inspection staff and reduced to an underbudgeted appendix of the federal budget. Somewhat like FEMA.

Heckuva job!

HMMMMMMMMMMMM..........

Schumer said. "However, the rubber won''t meet the road until the administration does three key things: Provide the FDA and CPSC with more federal dollars so they can carry out their heavy mandates ..."

Excuse me? Congress is the branch of government responsible for funding federal agencies, not the Executive branch. Congress has cut the CPSC budget, not the President. Even if the President had proposed budget cuts, it is the responsibility of Congress to ensure that federal agencies are sufficiently funded to carry out their mission. But Congress never takes responsibility for its actions or inactions.

What we need is a President who will show us the way. Not the old way. Not the same way, but a NEW WAY. Think about this for a minute. What if we pulled all of our troops out of South Korea? They''ve been there for 50+ years. What if we quit worrying about Iran, but instead, realized that its having a nuclear weapon will not mean the end of the world? What if we pulled all of our troops out of the Middle-East, and brought them all home? What if we realistically addressed the National Debt, and paid attention to REALLY DOING SOMETHING about stopping illegal immigration? These are the ideas of Republican Presidential candidate, Dr. Ron Paul. He''s a ten term Congressman and a physician who has delivered over 4,000 babies. He''s an intellectual who''s published four books, three of which are devoted entirely to sound economics and one to foreign policy. He was raised on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania as a pious Lutheran, but now he attends a Baptist church. Paul is given to mulling things over morally. Whenever he recollects the helicopter pilots he treated as an Air Force Flight Surgeon (Captain) during the Vietnam War, a war which he now says was "totally unnecessary and illegal," he laments, "They were gung-ho. I''ve often thought about how many of those people never came back." Candidates with the high level of personal integrity and proven track record of adherance to The Constitution, Congressman Paul has always demonstrated only come around once in a lifetime, if we''re lucky.

[antoniof123]

Has anyone noticed that now when the President says he is going to do something everyone says yea right because no one believes him anymore. Why is that or could it be that he has said so much *** that no one in there right mind will listen let alone believe him.

[liberalme]

Crater----if you want to know where products were made--look at the label or anywhere on the box.

If we tried to protest and not buy what isn''t made in America--we''d all starve to death and go naked!!

Not much is made here anymore!!
What we should do is go backwards, farm our own veggies, raise our own cows, pigs chickens and make our own clothes!!
Yeah right!!!! hahahahaha

So we keep paying high prices for things primarily made in sweat shops!
Shame on us!

RON PAUL SETS NEW GOP FUNDRAISING RECORD
Freedom is apparently popular, folks. I''m glad it is. In just the last 24 hours (Nov 5, 2007), he raised over $4,200,000 in grass roots donations from his supporters nationwide, beating Mitt Romney''s previous one-day (Republican) record of 3.1 million Dollars. Do the math, folks. Ron Paul certainly isn''t getting any money from the bankers or the military industrial complex like all the sold-out NWO candidates both on the left and the right who pretend to be his equal. He''s getting support from millions of REAL people who share in his Hope For America:

-- No more meddling in other country''s political affairs
-- No more aggressive military actions overseas
-- No more pseudo-wars like the "War on Drugs"
-- No more IRS and unconstitutional income taxes
-- No more Federal Reserve (the group of private banks which owns our government)
-- No more abortion
-- No more U.N. participation
-- No more federal Laws which are not authorized by The Constitution
-- No more federal erosion of State sovereignty
-- No more all-powerful federal government

They don''t call him "Dr. No" for no reason. The Doctor is in! Join us in this 21st Century political revolution at ronpaul2008.com

Remember, folks. Freedom isn''t free.

Thanks to everyone for your support!

Guess What Folks ???? --- There won''t be any money in our budget for the Walking Liar''s tough Product Safety Rules untill 2009

[terrapin78]

Just a lot of hot air. No teeth!

[crater7]

DON''T BE FOOLED AGAIN BY THE KING OF CON. ALL THIS IS A POLITICAL PLOY. NOTHING WILL CHANGE. MORE OF THE SAME.

COUNTRY OF ORGIN LAWS HAVE BEEN ON THE BOOKS FOR YEARS, BUT THIS ADMINISTRATION, HAS REFUSED TO ENFORCE THEM, DUE TO PRESSURE FROM THE RICH AND FAMOUS. ASKED YOUR STORE MANAGER, WHERE THE PRODUCT COMES FROM. MOST WON''T TELL YOU, OR THEY REALLY DON''T KNOW.

GOOD LUCK..........

WOW Look at that tough stern look on his face--he''s the man!!! Who wouldn''t be skeered of him??

The corporations should be help responsible for all their products, after all, they''re the ones who decided to have what we purchase produced in sweat shops.
They are the ones raking in at least a 300% profit, if not more!!

[memekiller]

How did the headline writer come to determine these new rules are "tough"?

Just wondering.

United States May Declare State of Emergency


Associated Press Writer
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) %u2013 The whitehouse government of embattled President bush said Thursday it may impose a state of emergency due to ``external and internal threats'''''''''''''''' and deteriorating law and order.
including from Democratic presidential hopeful Barak Obama, over the possibility of U.S. military action against al-Qaida in Pakistan ``has started alarm bells ringing and has upset the Pakistani public.''''''''''''''''
But it appeared the motivation for a declaration of an emergency would be the domestic political woes of
President bush
During a state of emergency, the government can restrict the freedom to move, rally, engage in political activities or form groups and impose other limits such as restricting congress right to make laws or even dissolving congress
``These are only unconfirmed reports although the possibility of imposition of emergency cannot be ruled out and has recently been talked about and discussed, keeping in mind some external and internal threats and the law and order situation,bush told The Associated Press.

In Washington, the State Department said . ``
Bush is under growing American pressure to crack down on militants at the Afghan border because of fears that al-Qaida is regrouping there.
The Bush administration has also not ruled out unilateral military action inside america but like Obama, has stressed the need to work with the americans.

Hey, I have a job One_American, so I guess I can say freely say you''re an idiot.

And...hey...guess what? Your know your leader, your man-crush George Bush?

He''s as dumb as a rock. Four colors of stupid. And everyone on this planet, with the exception of you drolling morons, knows it.

Go get a job and get out of your Mom''s basement, OK?
