George W. Bush Is Responsible For DESTROYING The Republican Party

[WeDidIt]

I daresay, that will be the eventual conclusion of the Republicans after Tuesday.

Some will point the finger at McCain, but McCain's campaign was symptomatic of the devestation wrought on the GOP by Bushco.

Some will point the finger at Palin, but again, this is just another symptom of the disease that is NeoTheo-Conservatism.

At the end of the day, the blame rests squarely with George W. Bush and all who helped to prop the boy king up.

Who would have thought that an election theft eight years ago would result in the worst president in U.S. History and, quite possibly, the demise of the GOP?

I, for one, am hopeful that the Republican coalition will crumble under the weight of their own debacle. With any luck, the Republican Party will cease to be and the Democratic Party will enjoy a generation of prosperity.

1. I guess he did one thing right. n/t

[PermanentRevolution]

2. We should all send him "Thank You" cards

[THUNDER HANDS]

3. I disagree slightly

I'd say Karl Rove is more responsible for destroying the Republican party than Bush.

Bush, if anything, is responsible for creating an enviornment of incompetence that would lead the nation, eight years after 911, to choose a young black man with a middle-eastern name to be its president.

4. Nah, Palin put the final nail in the coffin.. finally, eyes wide open.. this is the

base or the Pugs and it scares the hell out of normal people.

5. His Legacy -- Destruction of the Country, Party and Constitution.

He hit the trifecta! :puke:

[kenny blankenship]

6. All he did was walk their talk

He enacted all the ideas and attitudes they've talked about since the time of Reagan. Bush didn't destroy it, he set it free. Reality destroyed the Republican party.

20. Agreed - Bush was no rouge maverick. He was simply the frontman for

the GOP establishment. What a lot of people forget is that Bush's first six years was the first time since the Great Depression (except for Eisenhower's first two years - which was a totally different thing) that the GOP had control of everything - the GOP had a complete free hand to do whatever the hell they wanted - there was no longer a Democratic congress to block their worst excesses; they could no longer credibly distract the electorate from their failings by running against the "liberal boogeyman" in Washington. They finally achieved an all-GOP government - and it was every bit as bad as many of us always feared it would be.

7. He had plenty of help.

Cheney, Rummy, the Christian Right...the list is endless.

8. My 74 year old father often says "George Bush is the best thing

that has happened to the Democratic party in my life time."

[NewJeffCT]

9. I keep pointing out to people

that if causing the Great Depression and simultaneously aiding & abetting the rise of Mussolini & Hitler couldn't do the Republican Party in, then the Bush recession and the invasion of Iraq certainly isn't going to do it.

We need to really kick them while they're down now - point out that Reaganomics is the same as Bushonomics is the same as Hoover-o-nomics - give to the rich and hope that some of it trickles down to the rest. They redistribute from the poor & middle class to the rich. We need to totally discredit the philosphy so that when Republicans do come back, they'll be more along the lines of the DLC instead of the far-right party that is barely indistinguishable from fascism.

[TomClash]

10. Well, he destroyed the whole damn country

Why should they be immune?

[BlueManDude]

11. He's a symtom of a much bigger disease that will continue to spread

after the election. Regardless of the outcome the GOP will decide that they need to be EVEN MORE CONSERVATIVE in the coming years.

[CrispyQ]

12. "NeoTheo-Conservatism"

Clever!

[TahitiNut]

13. The GOP was hijacked by Bush League Fascists during the Reagan administration.

Clearly, the stage was set by the paranoia of the Nixon White House ... followed by the ascendancy of the "Southern Dixiecrats" and the single-issue hate-mongers. Having roused the rabble in a coalition of juvenile delinquents and vandals, the Fascist corporate colonialists embarked on a mission of destroying anything that remotely supported organized labor and the working class. We've become a Plantation Economy ... where half the field workers think a richer owner is somehow a 'good thing.' We elevate "Royalty" and make heroes of the Fattest Cats. We build stadia for the comfort of the luxury class ... bread and circuses.

The mere fact that there has been almost no prosecution of the crimes against humanity perpetrated by these Bush-Leaguers ... from Iran-Contra to Afghanistan to Iraq ... is an appalling indictment of the People.

14. Oh, come on.

Give Karl Rove some credit. He's helped sink McCain as well.

[Hamlette]

15. The GOP platform sunk the GOP. We are NOT a center right country

we are a center left country and W convinced America he would be a center left prez when he ran in 2000 (compassionate conservative).

The right must tempter their meanness if they want to win again. They can't just hide it with campaign slogans.

Of course, Americans have such short memories they will vote in another republican in 2016 unless we dems can unite and "pull a Roosevelt" (FDR).

[TankLV]

16. Then, I must say, this one and ONLY time - THANKS GEORGE!

[Gman2]

17. DO NOT Let this opportunity pass, Increase pressure until they reach

critical mass. I LOVE the smell of burnt offering of Republican mushroom cloud. Perhaps that sweet offering, might ameliorate the global climate change. I, for one, will give full credit for the selfless act, saving all the rest of us. It will even raise the average IQ level in the US. Now, everyone spill a little of their Jack Daniels on ground zero. Better luck with your next political party. And what idiot thought that REPUBLICAN would fly when PUBLICAN didnt do so well. Everyone knows the sequel is much worse than the original.

[Owl]

18. He's also responsible for destroying America.

[GalleryGod]

19. Yup. Let em rot!

Soooooooooooooo sorry for those scumbags!:sarcasm:
