Why would you ask that? If by conspiracy theorist you mean do I think that 9/11 was an inside job, the answer is of course not. Bush was simply incompetent, not evil.

As for your statement about middle class tax increases.... I support a sensible tax rate. For as long as I have been alive, the GOP was pushed one idea and one idea only when it comes to taxes -- lower, lower, lower. It's been 35 years. At some point you have to ask, isn't it low enough? We need to raise taxes on the rich and perhaps middle class. I have no problem paying my fair share for a decent society.
Why do we need to raise taxes on anybody? Why not cut some of these handout programs and let people keep their own money? Again, what is rich? You keep paroting the same talking points, tax the rich, tax the rich....sounds like you you are envious of people who are more successful in life...

I remember back in 2007, I was talking to a moderate, independent voter who told me he would never again vote for the GOP. I think I'm going to join him. I don't care if the GOP runs Jesus Christ in an upcoming election. I will not vote for the party that created and sustained Bush. It's not like they learned their lesson. Many of them are anxious for a repeat and are pushing for the Bush in drag candidate: Palin.

I hope that Bush is featured prominently in Obama's reelection campaign. The GOP needs to be punished for many, many more election cycles for foisting that abomination of a president on us.
Not sure why you hate him so much. His last two years in office he was "Obama Lite".

Do you remember in 2002 when he said he "really didnt care" where Bin Laden was? That was not only truthful, it was a Fruedian slip by someone not smart enough to know when to shut up. Bin Laden was kept alive by Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld because they needed a face for their aggression, and they made that face Bin Laden. They keep him alive and instead turn the focus to Saddam Hussein.

Thats what they did. The only reason B.L. lived as long as he did was because of Bush.

Wow, your life must really suck. I hate to say that...I really do...but its hard to ignore someone saying that a Presidential election exceeds the joy surrounding the birth of a child. I feel for you. I really do.

If Obama campaigns on the "it's all GWB's fault" he will certainly lose. Bush made many mistakes, but he didn't cause the housing crisis, he didn't waste time in Libya, he didn't focus on a potentially unconstitutional health care program, and he didn't drive the deficit to crazy levels.

Even Democrats know that Obama has to take credit and blame for much of what has happened since 2008.

If Clinton hadn't gotten elected in '92 9/11 wouldn't have happened in the first place. Remember his response to the 1993 WTC bombing?

Forget about Obama and forget about BUSH.
Vote for someone who told you about BUSH and OBAMA when it was all happening and never wanted to get into IRAQ in the first place.
