" Just what did Bush do to tank capitalism? He can’t legitimately be blamed for the collapse of the market in the Fall of 2008."

For starters he's wasted $1 trillion on a war in Iraq that even he now admits was based on weaselly intel and intent; He's kissed the ring (and arse) of Teddy Kennedy and the socialist left and spent the taxpayers' money like a drunken Democrat...

He'd personally touted the use (and waste) of $440 billion dollars for the ridiculous CRA (ACORN wanted it) towards deadbeats so they could buy (yet not afford) housing, thereby helping create the calamitous housing market collapse...

George w. Bush and his NWO-globalist puppeteers have caused tremendous damage to our economy.

There’s no question that Bush is a profligate spender; but what has he done to tank capitalism? Wasteful spending doesn’t necessarily harm capitalism, and in most ways it encourages it (if someone is going to throw money around with wild abandon then a good capitalist would come up with a product that the wastrel will buy). The surest way to destroy capitalism is to pass laws against it, and I don’t recall Bush passing any such laws. Perhaps you have some examples?
