Let's see... Is there anything you HAVEN'T blamed Bush for? Is he responsible for the skid marks in your undies too?

Thanks, FM, I wondered who was doing that!

Bush, but in all fairness his many followers are also part of the blame.

You didn't leave a place to vote for "far left liberals". So I won't be voting.

Consider the following...

GOP has held the White House for 28 of the past 40 years
GOP has held both houses of congress for 14 of the past 14 years
The Supreme Court is solidly in conservative hands

Tell me all about the damage that the mighty, powerful "far left liberals" have inflicted while being out of power.

Conversely, Republicans have had control of both houses of Congress as well as the Presidency for 6 of the past 8 years. The state of the nation today is that we are engaged in the longest foreign war in American history, and are facing the worst economic crises since the Depression. Just how much Republican power equals an ounce of accountability?

We the people have had more then our share of the blame. We are the ones who made the decisions that created much of todays problems. Government may have contributed to the environment but we are the ones who operated in it to our own disadvantage.

I disagree.

Bush and Cheney behaved the past eight yearslike the only time they were accountable to the public was at election time. They otherwise played free and fast with the constitution and pursued an agenda that was counter to the national interest. The rubber stamp GOP congress made no attempt to block them.

Exactly what option do you see the public having?

Agree - we were all paralyzed and intimidated for about five years after 9/11, and didnt know/couldnt believe Our Leaders would do this to us. But when we figured it out then protests began in earnest.

Agree that Bush is ultimately The Decider.

OP, you dont have a button for The War on Christmas!

There should be a few other choices. The Democratic congress and also Al "I believe in ghosts" Gore. How about Hollywood with all the degeneracy and filth they spread to the rest of the country. Several much better choices than several listed.
