For everyone who says it is all Bush’s fault that we got Obamao, remember the left has been trying to do this far-left reach for EIGHT YEARS - this didn’t “just happen” because of Bush!
No, it certainly didn't. The evidence was there, the data was marshaled, well enough in advance of 2008.
If you'll pardon the expression, they had their chance---they did not lead.
We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, what's left of it in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.---Edward R. Murrow.
Yep. Basically, the neocons (W), have been offering Democrat-Lite solutions and like Tanner’s books asys (paraphrasing), if the choices are a little of everything (Repugs) or a lot of everything (Demoncrats), then people are going to choose the “a lot” option!
I have been saying for years, Repugs can NEVER out spend the Demoncrats, they can only open the door for the Demoncrats to spend more. There were doors and corridors that even the Demoncrats were not willing to go down. But even though the Repugs only open the door a little and offer a tiny taste, the Dems now go whole hog and kick the door open. And it is the Repugs fault for even opening the D@MN door (No Child Left Behind is a perfect example).
The Department of Indoctrination is one of the most USELESS departments in the US Government. So, instead of getting rid of the thing, the Bush Neocons said, “Lets make it more prominent, let’s SHOW the people that we Repugs care!” That opened the door to a whole new level of funds to actually force a Federal level mandate for acceptable foods, classes, etc... A little gets turned into a lot. As much as the Dems have a closet full of bad results of good intentions, the new Reps helped usher in a large portion of those by saying “let’s show America that we ‘care’!”
The best way to show someone that you care about them is to give them opportunities and then get the HE!! out of the way and let them flourish. If they don’t, then that is not your fault - you gave them everything they needed; you gave them “a chance!”
