It Was Because Of Bush Sort Of

[Andrei Bulba]

Not the economy, the election. Who was the democrats' big hero this year, their big gun? Bill Clinton. A woman attacking, lying, corrupt, disgraced debarred perjurer who never got 50% of the vote when he ran for president. Yet he was their funny old respected distinguished statesman.

And where is George W Bush? No republican would dare go near him. We allow the fantasy that he caused a disaster after Katrina. We allow Obama to blame "them" again and again for the economy- and "they" is George W Bush, not the real culprits, filthy leftists degenerates like Barney Frank.

George Bush tried to stop the banking mortgage crisis, Barney Frank prevented it! And why do clever republicans allow the demonization of Bush? Because he's yesterday's news, unpopular. Why bother to defend him, or Cheney, they can't win anything anymore.

And we do the same with Papa Bush, a true war hero, in WWII and as Commander In Chief, a decent man by every measure. But we hate that "loser".

In Death Of A Salesman Willy Loman complains "You can't eat the orange and throw away the rind!". But we do. We sell out our own as soon as we think they aren't useful.

I'm not writing this as a love ode to W, I'm telling you that if you think we can lose arguments like this and win, you are crazy. Obama's only argument- most effectively articulated by that lying creep Bill Clinton- was that Obama could not be expected to have solved the terrible problems he inherited.

But he inherited the problem from Barney Frank. Did you EVER hear Mitt Romney explain that? Oh no we tremble at the thought of defending our own. Meanwhile we allow Bill Clinton to be a hero, and by the way we were afraid to call him the evil bastard he is as well. Our opposition has no such qualms.

And while we allow George Bush to be the Herbert Hoover in this mummer's farce, we have also allowed Hilary Clinton to be in line for the presidency in 2016. Hilary Clinton, an evil lying woman hurting, corrupt, lying she witch who is every bit the creep her husband is.

We are not going to win this way. But nobody mention that awful Bush.

Doesn’t matter. Somehow the media will blame it on Republicans.

We all know this.

So why doesn’t our side actually do something, if we’re going to catch hell anyway? Drives me nuts.

All I’m saying is that the Bush’s helped get us in this mess. George HW quickly started undoing the Reagan legacy and gave us the Clintons. George W expanded government through prescription drug benefits, no child left behind, etc.

the Bush Cuts helped build the “47 percent.”

Yet another reason to despise the Bush branch of the GOPE as just another branch of Fabian Socialists.

The GOPE does (at the time) what the left could only dream of doing and then lets the left twist the publics understanding of it into something the left can campaign against. They get to have their cake and eat it too.

We might be beyond that time when the left needs to have the faux-right do their dirty work.
