It's a shame that party affiliation blinds so many people (on both sides) to the fact that there wasn't all that much difference between Bush and most Democrats.
Under his watch, we got TARP, No Child Left Behind, a push to give illegal immigrants amnesty, increased subsidies for prescription drugs, a VP who told us that "deficits don't matter", and a whole host of other things that would have you scream bloody murder if they happened under a Democrat's watch.
Now that the RNC is about to coronate another Bush, I suppose the party faithful will be making excuses for Jeb too.
Bushes and Clintons are two sides of the same coin.
And now they are going to hedge their bets by giving us another “Bush vs Clinton” choice. Heads they win, Tails we lose.
