Dude, you're delusional. Unemployment was under 5% (technically "full

coincidence that the economy started going to hell when the Dems took
control of Congress in the 2006 elections. (And yes, the most
ideological president in history -- then Senator Barrack H. Obama --
voted for all the spending bills and complained that they weren't
enough.) Bush's biggest mistake was not vetoing a ton of ****. (He
did try 18 separate and distinct times to reform Fanny and Freddie;
see "Burning Down the House" unless Obama has had it removed from the
internet like he just did a Reuters article on new "back door taxes".)

Out, BS



Amazing - biggest case of denial I've seen yet. You may want to
actually get some facts, but reality is obviously not something to which
you will apparently ever admit.

Poor GW - nothing was his fault (none of his numerous failings were ever
his fault - through he's whole life he's just been a victim of
circumstances).
Meanwhile, it'll be many years before the US recovers from the
disastrous results of the GW years / decisions.

Hint - it's no coincidence that the US began falling apart almost to the
day he was appointed president as business & investors ran to the
sidelines for the safety of CDs & bonds while minimizing / reducing
expansion plans.

Meanwhile, eight years later the country saw a loss in employment, lose
in real wages, a significantly reduced stock market value, a $1T
off-the-budget, bill of borrowed money for a ****ing contest in Iraq,
increased terrorism as the real terrorists were essentially left alone
to strengthen, etc. Did he ever veto any spending bill (even when
republicans controlled both the senate and congress)? GW's extensive
spending makes Obama seem a fiscally conservative.

Come to think of it, can you name even one success of the eight GW
years. I can think of only one - He was so inept that he opened the
door for the first minority in US history to be elected president.

If you don't like Obama being president, you can thank GW - His inept
leadership made it all possible.

Although GW made numerous mistakes, his biggest were likely tinkering
with a successful tax code (his rebates for the wealthy were all made
with borrowed money and failed to add any jobs), failing to curtail any
spending, invading Iraq (100% with again borrowed money) and allowing
the 9/11 terrorists to essentially run free only to strengthen in
numbers and force. Is there any doubt this loser will go down in
history as the #1 worst president?

BS is one of the most rabid W defenders.

The Tea Party itself is going back to Reagan, their Purity pledge is
all about Reagan and little anything else:

WHEREAS, President Ronald Reagan believed that the Republican Party
should support
and espouse conservative principles and public policies; and

WHEREAS, President Ronald Reagan also believed the Republican Party
should welcome
those with diverse views; and

WHEREAS, President Ronald Reagan believed, as a result, that someone who
agreed with
him 8 out of 10 times was his friend, not his opponent; and

WHEREAS, Republican faithfulness to its conservative principles and
public policies and
Republican solidarity in opposition to Obama’s socialist agenda is
necessary to preserve the
security of our country, our economic and political freedoms, and our
way of life; and

WHEREAS, Republican faithfulness to its conservative principles and
public policies is
necessary to restore the trust of the American people in the Republican
Party and to lead to
Republican electoral victories; and

WHEREAS, the Republican National Committee shares President Ronald
Reagan’s belief
that the Republican Party should espouse conservative principles and
public policies and
welcome persons of diverse views; and

WHEREAS, the Republican National Committee desires to implement
President Reagan’s

Of course, W really was the president that most clearly followed what
the Tea Party wants. Crazy is doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting a different result. Yet that is what the Tea Party expects.
