I think what you call the cause is the effect, and vice versa.
Bush has no one but himself to blame. The warning came in the mdi-terms but the RNC ignored it.
You are rationalizing again.
Its pretty easy to make a list of people that can be blamed before Bush.
You might try starting with yourself.
I sometimes think the entire purpose of Bush’s existence is for Americans to make him their eternal scapegoat— a lengthy vacation from personal responsibility. That vacation comes to an end January 20, 2009. I will be glad to have this good man back in Texas. I will be amused to watch the moral pretenders flail away.
