The Republicans have themselves in part to blame for this whole debacle. If they had stuck to their conservative principles they wouldn’t have damaged their own brand so much. All that time in power and they didn’t cut a single government cabinet. They didn’t even try to shrink government. Instead they waded into things like the whole Teri Schiavo mess, tolerating Duke Cunningham, and creating the TSA.
“The Republicans have themselves in part to blame for this whole debacle.”
Sorry, but the operative word should be completely! We are where we are today thanks to GWB, his worthless father, and the Establishment GOP. Never in my lifetime have I witnessed the throwing away of the grand opportunity to put the RAT party away for a couple of generations. Instead, the all too smug RINOs decided to try their own brand of “buying” the voters while they piled up the bills for the nonsensical war in the ME. There was just no justification for Bush going to Iraq ( other than to get Saddam for trying to off his father). The idea that he could countenance the losses of our fine young people to satisfy this revenge is beyond the pale. At the end of the day GWB was a sorry excuse for a president and the people have yet to forget that fact.
