all GWB’s fault. Unfortunately what counts is that message is selling. Obama is the new guy that inherited 8 years of GWB’s mistakes. That is the democrat narrative Bush left us with, even if he does not completely deserve it.

Barack Obama’s first eight weeks in office have been severly destructive to this country and the economy,
and he’s just getting warmend up.

The GOP, other than Sarah Palin, has no fight in it. McCain never named the names of the Democrats that raped Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They ran a campaign ad showing some pictures of people that the general public had no idea who they were. It continues to this day. Every time the Fraud blames this on Bush, a prominent Republican should be disputing it.

With you everything is his fault, and you don't mind saying it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
It's really all you do.

LOL "Over and over.." Some truth to that but in this case I was pointing out that the public is giving Obama a free pass because they believe this narrative wrt economy that democrats have been selling for years, and that GWB and republicans somewhat played out(ie played along) . You only have to see recent opinion polls that say “Public believes economy will get worse” and “Public blame GWB as #1 at fault for economy” . It is a political reality and all the wishing of yours and others wont make it go away. I wouldnt be as mad if it wasnt selling, hurting capitalism.

We WILL have to live with the ‘GWB screwed everything up’ theme everyday for a long time. I dont think GWB actually ‘screwed everything up’. But he screwed up enough things, refused to defend others, took credit for things that later went bad, and represented ‘capitalism’ as the ‘conservative’ president. This disasterous representation of capitalism is a huge problem and will not magically go away by claiming GWB was a big success, as some here do .
You are of the (republicans)'lesser of two evils' camp. But defending the 'lesser of two evils' as 'good' destroys good.
See: Peter Schiff ("Obama will be more of the same, but worse")

Given the demand for guns and ammo these days, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a run on pitchforks, too.

RE :”
Is there anyone on this site who is surprised by this? To all of you who sat on your hands to ‘punish’ Republican candidates who were less-than-perfect, and thus delivered us all into the hell of a Dim-controlled WH and Congress, here is yet more evidence of the damage you have wreaked on our country. “:

Would you like to drive off the cliff at 5 mph (R) or 10 (D)? You won’t vote for 5!? Then it’s your fault that we’re going off the cliff!

If you go and read that post, you will see that it wasn't my "rant". I was responding to what TrueKnightGalahad wrote.
On top of that, you didn't even quote the entire text!
I know you can do better than that.

“
It is that type of thinking that got Obama elected and you are at fault for EVERYTHING he does. This is war and if you dont join our side(led by commander McCain) you are our enemy.Pick a side traitor!”
AHHH, The good old 'you are either with us or against us' argument. It sounded great in 2002, not so great now.

“Is there anyone on this site who is surprised by this? To all of you who sat on your hands to punish Republican candidates who were less-than-perfect, and thus delivered us all into the hell of a Dim-controlled WH and Congress,”
I was not among these, I even voted for Judy Topinka for Governor against Blagojevich.
But when you look at what the Bush-Hastert gang did while in power it’s understandable. “We suck somewhat less!” is not great election day rallying cry.
