Er, responsibility is not something that can be handed off; you do not excuse yourself from consequences by claiming that the responsibility lies with someone else.
I.e., its always your fault, you can’t evade it. Even if the choice is between bad and worse, you are morally required to make that choice.
“We” got 8 years of less-bad government than we are getting now. In fact, without a war we would probably have had a balanced budget in 2006 and 2007; and barring 9/11 we would probably have had one for at least three years.
And what would a Democratic President, House & Senate have done with the war, anyway ?
Er, I have no obligation or responsibility to vote for a particular party. I'm not the GOP's slave... and I'm no longer their sycophant, since they proved they will not hold up their end of the bargain.

Again, you're 100% wrong. I'm not legally, morally, or Constitutionally required to make any choice at all. You may wish to be constrained by your own imperfect logic, but I certainly won't allow myself to be.

Wrong again. Don't you get tired of it? Spending increased, both in raw numbers and as a percentage, during Bush's term. The GOP made Clinton look frugal... and nothing in McCain's history indicated that he would not cooperate with the Democrat Congress on the same ideas they're pursuing now. He actually has more experience with unConstitutional legislation than Obama, and he'd certainly carry a few partyline Pubbies on his coattails, making passage of these ideas even more likely. No thanks.
Have the GOP send up nominees like Mike Pence, then find several dozen motivated new faces who have actually fought and followed through on their limited government ideals to take over Senate and House seats from entrenched Dems and Pubbies, and I'll consider dedicating my time and money to the party once again. Until then, keep the overly simplistic bleatings for the sheep, and enjoy several more cycles like the last two.
