Blaming the whole thing on Bush just plays into the Democrats hands.
The problem with this party is that it isn’t really willing to sell what it stands for. It treats Christian Conservatives as people that should be seen and not heard, instead of defending their values as something that should be promoted. The parties fear of being called “haters” on issues from gay marriage, abortion, and hate laws have resulted in them already conceding the argument to the liberals, while relying on the votes of people who’s position they are no longer willing to defend or promote.
Thats the real recipe for failure.
I agree - that’s what the liberals want you to do.
The social issues are non-starters. We need to address those in our private lives.
