I Will Forever Hold G.W.Bush & The Repugs Responsible For......

[global1]

the condition this country is in. From the moment they stole the 2000 election until now you can just track how this country went downhill. The whole thing was choreographed to get us where we are today.

1. But what's really sad is.......

...these are the "good old days" for some people. In thirty or forty years, they'll look back on these times as the good ole days. One can only imagine what it'll be like in 30-40 years.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

2. Absolutely, but I'm about to hold responsible all Dems currently agreeing on anything with Repugs nt

[swilton]

15. The Democrats enabled Bush as well

The senate that certified the electoral votes despite protests about the disenfranchised black voters in Florida....and it went on from there...There was never any questioning about the war in Afghanistan, Iraq and the list goes on....And then Pelosi took impeachment off the table and took criminal investigations off the table.

3. No blame for Reagan? Remember his pony joke? "There must be a pony in here somewhere."

I think the Tea Party is looking for that pony as we speak.

4. you're on the wrong website....

here we blame Obama (not any other dem) for all the world's problems for the last 60 years...

[BlueCaliDem]

9. As of late, it sure seems that way. eom

[rurallib]

10. not funny

[greytdemocrat]

5. I hold him responsible...

Every damn day.

6. I can't help but think how great this country should have been . . .

.. . had that fucking doorknob not been installed. Twice.

I would have thought almost a complete 180 from the disaster we're currently trying to dig our way out of; some scenario that allowed for a future, some sustainability.

Human greed kills everything it touches, and the corporatists from both parties are inhaling it like cheap blow.

7. The problem I have is that after Obama was elected

the Republicans were able to,with the help of the "liberal" media, switch all of the blame for the financial crisis onto Obama and the Democrats..It was a well planned strategy and Democrats stood by and just kept their mouth shut and accepted the responsibility for this depression..Obama accepted the blame and Republicans had accomplished their goal..Every time Bush was mentioned it was one of those "there you go again" Reagan moments and Democrats just kept quiet, lost the house and their still acting like Republicans are the masters of economics..
Going back to 2000..This I believed was planned by the corporate mafia..They needed a puppet..Someone of Bush's intellect to dance when they pulled the strings..It was working so well that they had it already set up for 2004 because they did not want to lose their golden goose..And then Bush dumped everything on the Democrats,Repukes took charge of making sure it stayed in their laps and here we are with the debt ceiling thing and Repukes are trying to impress upon the world that only they can save the economy....

8. Almost like it was planned:

Economic terrorism.

11. Age of Greed

good read by Jeff Madrick


http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/national-affairs/jeff-madrick-on-how-wall-street-won-and-america-lost-20110624

"In his latest book, Age of Greed, former New York Times economic columnist Jeff Madrick tells how Wall Street triumphed and America paid the price. It's the story of how, starting in the 1970s, right-wing economics – a mystical cult centered on small government, low taxes and financial deregulation – and human greed teamed up to produce not shared prosperity but obscene economic inequality and financial instability, through the ideas and doings of a bipartisan roster of politicians, financiers, and economists, some obscure, others prominent (hello, Robert Rubin, Larry Summers!). We recently got him on the phone to talk about the triumph of finance and the decline of America in our age of greed.

In the book you say the roots of our economic troubles are in the 1970s. What happened in those years?

The American people turned against government, and the catalyst was the confusing and painful period of high unemployment and high inflation that struck harshly in 1973 and didn't really subside until 1980-81.."

13. I'll have to look for that one, thanks!

[CleanGreenFuture]

12. I hold him responsible for that which you describe and for 9/11.

[dissidentboomer]

14. Me too. We weren't entirely healthy, economically or culturally, in 2000 but

we were STILL in position to address problems and hold the ship together AND do things for the nation (i.e., health care, education costs, etc.) that badly need to be done. Bush and his traitorous band of corporate rich pirates destroyed ANY chance of improving things for the nation AND they went even further. They.... well.... I have to stop, as I could write a GODDAMN BOOK about the number of ways they fucked up. I couldn't have screwed up the nation this badly, if I tried to do it. At times, I thought "They CAN'T be this dumb. They are Israeli or Chinese moles". :rofl: Wow. Just wow. I will also never forget or forgive. Never.

I find a way to mention their responsibility in EVERY CONVERSATION I have about politics or economics. EVERY damn one.

16. "Dubya" and the millions of bastards who supported him because

he is a "good ole boy" who makes them feel good about their own insecurities.

These teabaggers were of the Shrubs greatest cheerleaders. They too were quite mean to anyone who dare to dissent from his policies.
