The GOP fell apart on its collective moderate ideology. The Senate ‘Gang’ and the spending in Congress discouraged the constituency. It had nothing to do with Bush. POTUS was out of mind beginning with the 2006 mid-terms.
The GOP is no better today despite the absence of #43. At what point do we stop blaming Bush for the inadequacies of the other Republicans still circulating in DC?

I agree with you about McCain's gang.
But Bush's mismanagement of Middle Eastern foreign policy, his idiotic plan for missiles in eastern Europe, his trust of Putin, his failure on the Mexican border and with illegal aliens, his sponsorship of the first flawed bail out plan, his economic budgetary screw-ups, the Harriet Miers scam, etc, etc., set the ground work for the failure of the Republicans in 2006 and 2008.
NO MORE BUSHES - EVER!!!
