“Bush’s real legacy, destroying the GOP.”

My thoughts exactly. It’s almost ironic that we now find ourselves saying what the left chanted for 8 yrs: “It’s Bush’s fault!”, but it really is.

We can’t lay all of this at Bush’s door. He had for a while a republican congress that acted just like dems when it came to spending. And he didn’t use the veto when he didn’t.
Pretty soon, the sheeple electorate couldn’t see any major differences between the tow parties.

Now we have to somehow convince the voters that we are in fact different and have policies that will save the day. And trust me, even the voters will come to know that the day will need saving.

I expect there will be some blowback to the dems current actions and the pendulum will swing back our way. I just don’t know how far or for how long.

In the long term, I’m pretty pessimistic. Demographics and dependency are leaning to the dems.
