Top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell says that the GOP can start to make a comeback now that the unpopular Bush is out of the picture. McConnell likened Bush to a "millstone around our necks".
What is interesting is that Republicans are only eager to get rid of Bush because of his unpopularity, not because of his policies. So, they do not or refuse to understand why Bush was unpopular in the first place and just want to push the same ideas and expect them to work the next time around. This type of wishful thinking and superficial analysis will doom the GOP for the next few years until they wake up and come up with something innovative.

When this Socialists gets through, you'll be glad to have Bush back. This friggin' guy is screwing up the country daily. Soon you will have to get permission to take a leak.View thread

Is keeping Americans enslaved to the insurance industry a brand of GOP conservatism? Is keeping the infant death rate higher than it is in Cuba a brand of conservatism? Is keeping the life expectancy well below that of Canada’s a brand of conservatism? Is keeping a health care system in tack whereby more and more Americans are left without affordable health care, forced into bankruptcy and poverty and die early, a brand of conservatism? Is hammering and diminishing the middle class a brand of conservatism? Is saying that the best way to insure all Americans is to provide them with jobs and then pursue policies whereby millions of jobs, homes and (life savings) investments are lost a brand of conservatism? Is giving huge tax cuts to the rich whereby they can then deposit such windfalls in Swiss Vaults a brand of conservatism? Is standing by to rake in blood money from keeping the infant death rate high, which blocking reforms is sure to do, a form of conservatism? Is it the goal of conservatism to keep blocking reform and leave the uninsured elderly no option but to be shown where the grave is at?

The American voters should in no wise be permitted to forget the abject and horrid mess that the GOP/conservatives left. They weren’t content to just leave a drunken puke of a mess, foreign and domestic, but they have compounded the matter by refusing to help in cleaning up. They have, in effect, stated that they wish for the efforts to clean up their colossal mess to fail. And, they are seeking to bring about that failure by standing shoulder to shoulder, all of them, on the sidelines throwing rocks at those, who are doing the cleanup work.
If this is the level of lack of sense of responsibility, lack of patriotism and lack of common decency that more and more GOP Americans are aspiring to, then, God help us all. The Reverend Wright is oh so right. And this is not just a deal with Bush. We are seeing a GOP/conservative agenda being played out. If America accepts this, then anyone, who says that this is a Christian nation, is a reprobate and liar.
Bush didn't get us into this, did he magically force Congressional Democrats to pass law? No.
Did Bush fuck the financial system? No, look to Barney Frankenfriends for that as well.
I hope you never vote again, I'd bet you voted for that schmuck in the White House, no experience (change you can believe in), no morals (Hope) no vision of a successful future (marxist Socialist).
Get real.
