You are right.
It is far far too easy to just Blame Bush and ignore Democrat big-spending complicity, rather than look at the fact that Congress wrote all the budgets and that there was a big-spending liberal Democrat+RINO majority (bipartisan earmark-corrupted porkbarrelers) writing most of those budgets.
The Democrats in Congress wrote the budgets since 2007 and yet most voters last November didnt even know we had a Democrat majority in Congress! So of course they will blame Republicans if they are too ignorant to know that liberal Democrat Pelosi has been speaker for over 2 years now.
That is the problem ,they expect these mental midget Rats to automatically be aware of what is going on. Zippy blamed Bush for everything but the Titanic with complete impunity and NO REBUTTAL ,Look until the Zippy neutered GOP Speaks out like our Woman do when and unless we get down in the dirt with these Cretins the RNC will get the Ten count every time! Americans Hate Cowards and that is the current theme.
That needs to be repeated any time that the left claims some sort of mandate from Nov 4, 2008. How does an ignorant mob give a legitimate mandate?
