Don’t stop there, my friend – every repub who stayed in or joined the party in the last 10 years are also to blame.
I blame George and every single person that enabled or didn’t do their all to try to stop him, including the Democrats in Congress and myself.
Let’s see where just blaming Bush will get you, Jason.
Oh Joe, there’s plenty of blame to go around. Spineless Dems are guilty as well.
But this was Bush and the Republicans vision. Dems rolled over – and for that I will never forgive them – but what’s happening to our country is the result of Republican policy – which suddenly they refuse to own.
No, pandora, it’s the result of the Bush administrations failed policy AND the inability of every right-thinking (read “correct”) person’s ability to fight it.
To blame just Bush is ridiculously simplistic, to the fault of blindness.
Umm… Joe, didn’t I just say that? If not, let me try again. I don’t think I gave Dems a pass of any sort. Dems gave Bush and Republicans every thing they wanted.
Bush/Republican agenda + Democrat compliance = failure
Seconded, Jason and Pandora.
I think I may have misread your Republican’s Vision point, pandora. I thought you were saying that, because they initiated, they were more to blame.
I probably should have considered who I was responding to before replying. I should sure as hell know by now that weak arguments like that won’t come from you.
I apologize, pandora 🙂
No apology necessary, Joe. The written blog word can be very confusing. Thank god for these little thingys! 🙂
I would assume you will give the Dems credit for the sad shape Delaware finds itself?
Bush increased federal spending in every category, brought about Part D Medicare, addressed minority education shortfalls in NCLB and offered real immigration reform.
Lieberals are never happy, so sad.

Actually, Mike, all four are wrong:
1) Bush cut Federal spending for basic scientific research, for environmental regulation, and for the Department of State among others
2) Part D Medicaire was pretty much forced on Bush and he did his best to create a boondoggle that was as friendly to big pharmaceutical corporations as possible;
3) NCLB has never been a workable program, the minority shortfall provisions are both ludicrous and unworkable (as would be any education program that required 100% of all students nationwide to succeed before it could be considered successful)
4) “Real” immigration reform, frankly, is in the eye of the beholder; Bush advanced a program that had about the same chance of getting approved that Harriet Myers or the Dubai ports deal did. He knew that. He never really pressed for it.
I give Bush credit for increased HIV/AIDs funding in Africa, but only the part I don’t give to Bono. That’s pretty much it.
Mike is wrong? Shocking.
In other news, the earth revolves around the sun.
Couldn’t agree more!!!!!!!
To me a Republican is a flawed or a defective human being. The core will always be me, me, me, greed, greed, greed.
I do agree with Pandora I have been just as upset almost with the Democratic party for propping up the John Kerry’s of the world and not fighting back. The guy won the fckng Naval Cross for christ sakes does anyone know what that means?
I am convinced now after this finger blasting over the stimulus I will need my torch to take on any and all.
You get ’em, Mission Accomplished!
Bush blew it. 👿
Steve, you are terribly uninformed.
1) Bush cut Federal spending for basic scientific research, for environmental regulation, and for the Department of State among others
* Total spending for every department increased during Bush’s time. Some areas may have gone up and down but total spending in every departnment increased substantially.
2) Part D Medicaire was pretty much forced on Bush and he did his best to create a boondoggle that was as friendly to big pharmaceutical corporations as possible;
* Wrong. Bush fought and pushed for Part D, he favored it from the beginning because use of Pharmaceuticals save money. The bill was friendly to Senior Citizens not businesses.
3) NCLB has never been a workable program, the minority shortfall provisions are both ludicrous and unworkable (as would be any education program that required 100% of all students nationwide to succeed before it could be considered successful)
* NCLB is indeed workable. So much in fact not one state has opted out of the bill. The increases in minority learning surpasses anything else done before. Yes, 100 % is the goal, which students are expendable if 100% is not the goal.
4) “Real” immigration reform, frankly, is in the eye of the beholder; Bush advanced a program that had about the same chance of getting approved that Harriet Myers or the Dubai ports deal did. He knew that. He never really pressed for it.
He pressed and supported real reform, there is no doubt about that fact-none. To say he did not support it or work for it shows a level of ignorance seldom seen or heard in America.
I give Bush credit for increased HIV/AIDs funding in Africa, but only the part I don’t give to Bono. That’s pretty much it.
* The countries of Africa are corrupt and inept and the funding will do little to solve the problem.
“The guy won the fckng Naval Cross for christ sakes does anyone know what that means?”
This statement is false and worded so poorly as to question the mental state of the person who wrote it.
The decoration is called the Navy Cross not Naval Cross.
6.7% annual increase.
Total federal spending in FY2008 is expected to be $2.925 trillion and the deficit $155 billion (per the [Congressional Budget Office’s] August update). How might we have instead balanced the budget by 2008? Bush’s first year was FY2001, when spending was $1.863 trillion, thus his actual spending increases (2001-2008) have averaged 6.7% annually. If instead, he had limited his annual spending increases to 5.8% annually, we would have a balanced budget this year. (Spending in 2008 would be $2.770 trillion=$2.925-$155 billion.) … Spending under President Bush has increased an average 6.7% annually. But if he had restrained spending just slightly to 5.8%, the federal budget would be fully balanced in 2008 and the deficit wiped out.”
Bin Laden and the core al Qaeda leadership (known as al Qaeda prime) do not matter much anymore, beyond their symbolic power. The continual release of statements without attacks means that these tapes are falling on deaf ears. Al Qaeda prime has failed to pull off an operation since the London bombings in 2005 — and even that attack appears to have involved only a tangential link to the grassroots jihadist network behind the plot. Even in South Asia, where al Qaeda is active, it relies heavily on local and regional allies for cover. Bin Laden has become an old revolutionary who refuses to retire though his time has passed.
