How bad does it have to get before Repubs accept any responsibility?
The stock market has been rumbling downward in the last few days. The job market sucks. Many of the good jobs have left our country. Troops are dying in Iraq for a lie. The Republicans have passed legislation that is harmful to both middle and working class Republicans and Democrats. The debt is a serious threat to our nation, thanks to the taxcuts everyone accepted with greedy paws. They would never ask their wealthy friends to help with the war or anything else. They deserve everything, according to the present bunch in power. When will they wake up? When their house is on fire? They can ignore their neighbor's house, I suppose?

2. As long as there are dissenting opinions
they will never accept any responsibility. It's much easier to blame and demonize the other guy. Just like the schoolyard bully, it makes them feel good.

3. They have always gotten by with the claim
it's Clinton's fault. I imagine they will brush that one off again.

6. Should have read through the responses first.
If I had a dime for every time I heard it at the Thanksgiving table I could afford a new Prius.

4. You're kidding right? For the neocons, the ability to not accept any
responsibility is an indication that things are going well for them.

5. Didn't you get the memo?
Everything is Clinton's fault. They will never accept responsibility.

8. Never
Evangelicals don't know what responisbility is. If it's Satan or liberals, one of those 2 made them do it and their saved by Jesus. Thus they can't accept a mistake.

10. It will never happen
With the rightwing media covering for them it won't have to. If the dimson dropped a nuke on NY City, Limbaugh would call it urban renewal. If CNN played a video of Bush sodomizing a goat on the White House lawn, Hannity would be on Fox saying how wonderful it is that the president supports 4-H

11. Republicans, as a whole, will never accept responsibility.
When things get bad enough they will select one of their own as the sacrificial goat and say 'It's all his fault', e.g. Gingrich, Lott, etc. After a period of banishment the goat will be forgiven for their collective sins and welcomed back into the fold.

14. Repubs, responsibility?
Bah!! Now there's an oxymoron..

When it comes to Repubs, just think of them as good little SS-Nazis. Even if they don't realize it themselves, that's what they are like. And I am sure the SS had the same excuses for their actions too..

15. The Question is How Bad Before they are HELD RESPONSIBLE
They will never accept responsibility, it will always be someone elses fault. However, there might come a time when they are finally held responsible, though w/ electronic voting and wholesale voting fraud, that too may never happen in our lifetimes.
