LOL: Republicans promise to bring back the ‘W’ days if they can take the Senate

The Republican National Committee is still hawking “I miss W” t-shirts, but now they have a new message.



In a fundraising email sent out Tuesday, RNC chief operating officer Sara Armstrong promised Republicans would bring the leadership qualities of President George W. Bush to the Senate if they prevailed in the upcoming Nov. 4 midterm elections.

“President George W. Bush once said, ‘I will live and lead by these principles: to advance my convictions with civility, to pursue the public interest with courage, to speak for greater justice and compassion, to call for responsibility and try to live it as well,’” the email starts.


“That’s what America needs right now: a big dose of leadership. The kind of principled conservative leadership President Bush provided our great nation. And the kind of leadership Republicans will deliver when we win a Senate majority.”

I swear repubs have managed to convince everyone else that Obama was the cause of the near-depression of 08-09.

You see, the recession reached it's height during Obama's term, but it was GWB who executed the first measures to combat the crisis.

3. You laugh now, but the voting public has a notoriously short memory.

Most voters won't even remember the government shutdown when they go to the polls, much less the 'W' years.

still be Obama's fault. Then, if they manage to get one of their own in the White House, it will still be Obama's fault.

I'm wondering if we are becoming the country we deserve to be.
