Among all the other daily marching orders that the right wing talkers, and RW posters here and elsewhere, keep propogating this one is the most laughable. I've read it on here a few times the last couple of days as well as heard it from Limbaugh and Fox News. It's like the last 8 years' of idiotic policies never happened and Obama is starting with a clean slate.
Among other bits of complete BS that keep popping up over the last couple of months:
*61 former Gitmo inmates now in Al-Queda. Of course NO ONE can confirm this number. The PENTAGON, who the right reveres in most things says 18 confirmed 43 SUSPECTED. No names, no incidents, just a number. Of course the higher number is seized upon and parrotted, most recently by Hannity and Guiliani. Why either of these two losers has any credibility with anyone with a brain is beyond---oh, never mind.
*UAW workers earn $73/hour. So totally refuted that it's not worth mentioning, except by posters here who claim that "my neighbor's brother in law earns much, much more than that"!
*FDR's policies made the Great Depression worse. Technically, by listening to the Republicans in '37/'38 it's true. But then, those weren't his policies, he listened to the Rs. Always backed up with the BS line that, "most economists agree". Kind of like their line that "most scientists agree" that global warming is a myth. It doesn't matter how many times you tell them these people are convinced that Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and Karl Rove are economists and scientists!
*Barney Frank caused the financial crisis. He and the CRA (community reinvestment act). Of course this is backed up by the same "economists" cited above.

So what you're saying is, you listen to Rush, watch Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, know what Karl Rove says...how do you find the time to know what your own people think?
And Barney Frank did cause the financial crisis but he didn't do it alone.
Yes indeed; lets give all the power to one party indefinately and just let the Government have total control because it's obvious that they don't have enough control already. Someday you will learn (once it's too late) I'm afraid that those who share your views do nothing but contribute to our ever increasing loss of freedom. Think things are bad now? try to imagine them being exponentially worse if you're capable....
Losing a voting option would never be good for the country. Giving all the power to one party would produce catostrophic results. Both parties have produced notable leaders throughout history who's leadership made this country more prosperous and a better place to live. Giving voters one set of ideals to cast their vote for is a ridiculous and ignorant wish.
Did you tell this to Karl Rove, father of the permanent Republican majority?
Because it worked so well when the liberals for the last 8 years kept saying "Why bring up Clinton?"
Please explain what you mean. I mean, yes, Clinton made his mistakes but the country was still a thriving super power under his administration.
Also, it may be true that we have to deal with the here and now, but there is no way the Bush administration nor the Republican party should get out of the muck this quickly. I know many would like to just forget the last 8 years, but the damage done during that period of time could last decades. Sorry, but you don't get off the hook that easily when you mess up to this degree.

Just wait and see what B. Hussein has planned for this country. What G.W. did will look like a girl scouts picnic compared to the economic and social carnage this "messiah" will impose on the U.S. and the world!!!
And Carter is still opening up his BIG mouth and spewing crap!! Amazing how a man can teach Sunday School for years and yet learn NOTHING about Israel and the Middle East!

"why bring up Bush"?
