I would like to thank all you BUSH voters for keeping him in office, otherwise he could not have brought his disastrous touch abroad back home. First he wrecked a sovereign nation from without, now he might bring another to its knees from within.

His tax cuts gave us $2 Trillion in new debt. Now his domestic policy might ruin our economy for the next decade.

But at least you'll have Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, the NRA, family values, the Christian Coalition, and the Creationists to fall back on.

Keeping him those extra four years undoubtably may win him the top spot as the WORST PRESIDENT ever.

Newsflash: McCain has sided with BUSH 91% of the time.

The electorate put Bush back in office in 2004. They get the credit. The electoral college gets credit for 2000.

      How many votes did Kerry cost himself right here?

What percentage of the time would a good politician vote against Bush? Can you just toss a coin and vote against him 50% of the time and get better results?

A simple policy that has served me my entire adult life, if the majority of Republicans are for something it will cause me harm somehow someway. OTOH if the majority of Democrats support something it will be something that improves my situation. This has worked in all cases without fail.

http://www.amazon.com/tag/politics/forum?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1S3QSZRUL93V8&cdThread=Tx3JQJ161HMTA1N

And didnt a good portion of the country do it to themselves? Refinancing when markets were already down low, borrowing what they knew they couldnt afford, defaulting on loans and mortgages.  People can try to lay the blame on whatever powers that me are in or trying to get in office. Whatever happened to some good old fashion accountability.
Oh yea..... thats not in the democratic theory is it? Bigger goverment, more programs, more entitlements...  lets just hold everyone's hand and not force them to be accountable.

So 8 years wasn't enough time for Bush to implement his own policies?

Always hilarious to listen to Republican logic.  Clinton wasn't responsible for the economic success during his Presidency.  It actually was the Republican Congress who should be credited.  Now that we have an economic meltdown after Republican control of the White House and Congress for most of the last 8 years it's really not the fault of Bush or the Republicans. 

Sure, I can see that.  It really is all Clinton's fault.

I dont recall saying it was all Clinton's fault.  I said that's where it started. I also said that many Americans got themselves into the mess. I find it amusing that you make ASSumptions of one's political stance so easily. 
Or am I required to want freebies and handouts to be a Democrat? If so, I guess I need to turn in my registration card.
I guess I missed the fine print that says I have to agree with everything the party does to be a member.

Well, I don't know.  Let me think.
Oh yeah, now I remember. 

I guess it was where you said this:

"Wasnt it in Clinton's administration that the lending industry was basically ordered to make loans available to more people (trying to be as PC as possible) who would have otherwise been considered a bad risk, threatening the mortgage and finance industry with fines and sanctions if they didnt?"

How silly of me to assume you were trying to imply he was at fault.

It wasn't the Democrats election to lose and had Kerry won it would have been an amazing feat.
No, he didn't help himself but the politics of Rove and company did a wonderful job of killing his chances... Rove for his faults and believe me, I have no love for the guy is a marvelous political strategist as far as stretching and mis-stating and Winning!....I think he is detetable but smart at playing on the edges.

You are on the mark here.
The Republicans will NOT take the blame for their 8 years of failed policies.
Everything is Clinton's fault!
They could do nothing to build up or repair anything in 8 years!
Now they want 4 more years to continue to do NOTHING to build up our country?
Shame on the current Administration for not taking the blame on anything.
Has anyone SEEN President Bush lately?
He might as well resign, he is looking worse every day.

If Senator Obama made half the mistakes of George W. Bush, he would be RUN out of town.
I want President Bush's 8 years of failed policies written down.
Don't you DARE judge Senator Obama as a President harsher than you judged George Bush!
Because President Bush will go down in history as one of the worse Presidents in US history.
 
The next President is stepping into a country that has been literally run into the fucking ground.
It will take at least 4-8 years to start to dig out of the crap hole President Bush has left this country sitting in!

The man has balls, and he has class, he didn't dodge going to Vietnam, and he speaks foreign languages. Maybe that's why more people didn't vote for him.
