Hear hear, you're preaching to the coir brother!
We had 8 years of lies about Iraq and President Bush
We had 8 years of hostile media against conservatism.
We had a media that slobbered over Obama and lied and covered up his true record.
We had a large group of teens and twenties, and some beyond, enamored by the American Idol candidate.
We had two candidates campaigning against Bush
We had an inept, RINO candidate who ran a horrible campaign
We had a leftist-caused financial collapse that our candidate was clueless about
We had Obama creating an image that was the polar opposite of who he really was
We had billions of illegal dollars flowing in from overseas
We had "white guilt" which influenced a lot of ill-educated voters to vote for the black guy.
IF you want to be simplistic and use President Bush for a scapegoat in the 2008 election, go for it.
It's just not backed up by historic fact and rational thought, and only backed up by emotions.
