I wrote: The worst thing Bush has done is to associate conservatism with liberalism. He's tried to compete with the Dems on spending programs. He's adopted Woodrow Wilson's foreign policy. He's crusaded for amnesty for illegals. He's created an atmosphere where the nation's most prominent RINO has won the GOP nomination.

In other words, I listed several things Bush has done which have led to the GOP decline. We'll call that List X.

You responded by citing a number of events during the Bush presidency, which we'll call List Z: Inherited Recession, worldcom/Enron Collapses, 911, Global War on Terror, Katrina, housing bubble.

How are any of those events you listed related to the Bush policies I referred to in List X? For example, was Bush forced by the events you listed (List Z) to support the prescription drug plan or the No Child Left Behind Act? Was he forced by 9/11 or the War on Terror to seek to turn every nation on earth into a pluralistic democracy (notwithstanding the fact that 9/11 and the London subway bombings took place in pluralistic democracies)? Did Katrina compel him to support amnesty for illegal aliens?

Specify cause and effect, please.

If you have stood in a bread line, sent your kids to bed hungry and/or truly wanted for anything in the last 7 years then you can bitch about him otherwise stfu.

No, I will not stfu.

You decried his spending policies and then listed some domestic programs when you know good and well that the budget deficit and the extra spending that exists was cause and effect of the things that I listed not the domestic policies that he implemented.
