John Le Boutillier writes:
Yesterday at a McCain-Palin rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin, a conservative voter in the crowd stood and asked Senator McCain this question:
“Many of us in this crowd are furious...we’re wondering how did we get here...how can a man like Barack Obama be on the verge of being elected President?”
Here is the answer to that question:

So, to my fellow conservative in Waukesha - and everywhere else - you wonder “Why are we here - with a lefty like Barack Obama on the verge of becoming President?” - and the answer is YOU! You helped create and further a total fraud of a President and a total failure of a Presidency - and that has caused the nation to choose- quite reluctantly - the Mirror Opposite of Bush: Barack Obama.
The voters can’t stand the thought of another four years like the past eight - so they will roll the dice, despite Ayers and Reverend Wright and Acorn, and try something different.
If the Bush Administration had been competent and honest, Obama would never even exist politically.

Let's start with who is John Le Boutillier
LeBoutillier was born in Glen Cove, New York, to Thomas LeBoutillier (1913-1979) and the former Pamela Tower (born 1921). His father, a member of a prominent family, died while playing golf. Pamela LeBoutillier was the daughter of Roderick Tower (1892-1961) and the former Flora Whitney, a member of the New York Whitney family who was also descended from the Vanderbilts. Mrs. LeBoutillier was a distant cousin of U.S. Senator John G. Tower (1925-1991), a Texas Republican.
John LeBoutillier graduated from the Brooks School in North Andover, Massachusetts, in 1971. In 1976, he obtained his bachelor of arts degree from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He received his Master of Business Administration degree from Harvard Business School in 1979.
In 1974, LeBoutillier worked in the campaign of former Vietnam War prisoner of war Leo K. Thorsness, a South Dakota Republican who failed in a bid to unseat liberal U.S. Senator George McGovern. LeBoutillier said that he raised more money from his room at Harvard for the Thorsness campaign than was accumulated from the entire state of South Dakota. As a result of this campaign, LeBoutillier has since placed a high priority on POW issues.
Out of college, LeBoutillier wrote the book Harvard Hates America, a work similar in theme to William F. Buckley's 1950 God and Man at Yale.
[edit]
Okay, this is a New York blue blood, his Dad dies playing golf, he's a scion of the vanderbilts,
and the tower political family of texas. He went to prep school, harvard and was a nixon era republican.
and been running against the intellectual elites of which he was a benificiary.
LeBoutillier was elected to Congress in 1980, on the coattails of Ronald Reagan. LeBoutiller represented New York's 6th congressional district from January 3, 1981, until January 3, 1983. After redistricting in 1982, he unsuccessfully ran for re-election against Robert J. Mrazek in the 3rd district. After his single undistinguished term, he did not again seek public office. LeBoutillier is a resident of Old Westbury, New York.
As a congressman, LeBoutillier gave a speech in which he pronounced then House Speaker Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill of Massachusetts and the federal government as a whole as "big, fat, and out of control." He attacked members of his own party, including the liberal Republican senator from Illinois, Charles Harting Percy. LeBoutillier ridiculed the popular Percy as "a living disaster with almost no redeeming features." He was then admonished by future First Lady Barbara Bush and counseled by his mentor, then U.S. Representative Jack French Kemp, to "tone it down."
Okay, so he was a Reagan Baby, anti big government, anti democrat, and anti liberal even against the
rockefeller republicans.
In 2002, LeBoutillier spearheaded an effort to create a "Counter Clinton" Presidential Library, alongside former President William Jefferson Clinton's presidential Library in Little Rock.
and a total clinton hater....
Okay, so we have a bead on John LeBoutillier, mean, rich, inbred, mediocre mind.
and what does he say?
In 1999 and 2000 the Bush political operation seized control of the Republican Party and bought off the conservative movement. They put up George W. Bush as the new ‘savior’ - their One - the “son of Reagan” they called him - they orchestrated that spectacle of every local politician from all over the country traipsing down to Austin to “beg” Governor Bush to run for President and he was elected as the new conservative hero.
But his presidency has been anything but conservative. In fact, it has been the most incompetent, dis-honest and un-conservative administration - ever!
and i'm going to quote his list, because it should be carved into the Bush Impeachment bill
Just look at these few items which, if done by a Democrat, would have brought calls from us on the Right not only to impeach but to imprison for life:
• Ignored the CIA memo - “Bin Laden Determined to Attack US with Hijacked Jets”
• Pledged to get Osama Bin Laden “dead or alive” - a pledge still unfulfilled seven years later!
• Lied, distorted and cherry picked US intelligence to scare the Hell out of a nervous American people after 9/11 to justify a pre-emptive invasion of a country that had not attacked us.
• And then lied to create a link between Saddam and Bin Laden so as to justify this invasion - when the real reason was a take-over of American foreign policy by neo-cons and payback by G.W. Bush’s because Sadaam had “tried to kill my Dad!” as he told member of Congress when he lobbied them for their vote for the resolution authorizing force.
• Mis-managed every aspect of the war in Iraq.
• Drained the US Treasury of $650 Billion on that war.
• Lied to the Republican US Congress about the true cost of a new entitlement - Prescription Drug Benefit under Medicare - hiding an additional $400 billion in order to secure passage.
• Consistently ran up staggeringly huge annual deficits.
• Exerted not one drop of fiscal control over runaway federal spending - under a supposedly conservative Republican Congress!!!
• Federalized education - and passed No Child Left Behind with Teddy Kennedy - a total flop of a program - and not conservative! We do NOT believe the Federal Government should be running high school education!
• Showed true ineptitude - and a total lack of compassion - after that Compassionate Conservatism nonsense - in dealing with Hurricane Katrina.
• Blustering and boasting and bragging at every turn about how we might bomb or attack or invade any country who dared to disagree with us.
• Destroyed the good opinion of America around the globe. We have gone from the Shining City on a Hill to a despised, bullying regime.
• Expanded the scope and power of the federal government at every turn. Blew off Congress and tried to turn the Executive into a power unto himself - using ‘signing statements’ to undo legislation.
• And now this year: one massive bail-out after another - over a trillion dollars - with talk of nationalizing banks and other industries, thus causing the headline today in the Wall Street Journal today asking: “Are We Having Socialism Now?”
• And a fitting end to these eight years: a total economic meltdown - with the Federal Government seen as more at the cause of it than any other entity.
let's quote John Boots on his close again.
So, to my fellow conservative in Waukesha - and everywhere else - you wonder “Why are we here - with a lefty like Barack Obama on the verge of becoming President?” - and the answer is YOU! You helped create and further a total fraud of a President and a total failure of a Presidency - and that has caused the nation to choose- quite reluctantly - the Mirror Opposite of Bush: Barack Obama.
The voters can’t stand the thought of another four years like the past eight - so they will roll the dice, despite Ayers and Reverend Wright and Acorn, and try something different.
If the Bush Administration had been competent and honest, Obama would never even exist politically.
we will see an amazing GOP Civil war as they blame each other for Bush, Rove, DeLay and the
rest of these.
