You are correct. We have to fight battles over and over because we let too much stand. The deficit was under $150 billion after six year of Bush, lower than the years before that. It was lower because the economy was strong. When we stop fighting old battles, we lose. The abandonment of Bush in his second term has sunk our party. Even when he wasn't fighting back, party surrogates should have been...not for him, but for the party. When we let it stand that the spending was from the Bush years and not Obama. When we let it be believed that unemployment is better than it was then, well, this is what we get. The fact is the Bush years were some of the best on record. Not without challenges, but he came in with an economy that had grown unprecedentedly for a few years, and he still kept it growing relatively well. History has been re-writen on this, as it is on so many other things while we have a thump up our ass.
Right. And how about Katrina? There is a reason Bobby Jindal is governor of La. A stupid corrupt dem governor denied Bush’s attempt to send in help because she was emailing with Carville, et al, to let the disaster happen and blame it on Bush.
And we let these democrats call Bush a racist murderer on Katrina. I’m not defending Bush I’m defending standing up to the democrats.
