Always the "illegal war" mantra. Why was it "illegal"? What makes a war illegal or legal? The attack on the WTC towers was "illegal" I suppose, but that didn't stop them. The war on terror may have been "illegal" in your eyes, but it was justified. In my eyes, that makes it legal, and we determined to go where we had to to flush out and destroy terrorists, including an evil dictator who surely would have joined with the rest of the terrorists to fight the US..
Iraq and that evil didctator didn't have anything to did 911. The fact is Saddam was contained and in fact Colin Powell and Condi Rice said so in Feb after Bush took office.

Then of, course there is always the "he cut taxes for the rich" mantra. But the "rich" also run businesses and create jobs. They drive the economy and cause it to expand. This is why when their taxes ar cut, tax revenue actually goes up, not down (as it has with Obamas tax increases).Works every time.
Taxes don't pay for themselves and never will. I know there is the common misconception that JFK's (LBj) tax caused more revenue to be taken in. Actually while lowering rates, the legislation closed some large tax loopholes and that's why revenue went up.

That's why for most of the Bush years, the economy was humming, until the housing/banking problem, which was not caused by Bush, or conservative policies; on the contrary, it was caused by liberal housing and banking policies. The liberal "chickens" came home to roost (to borrow a phrase from Rev. Wright).
Anybody can have a humming economy with an unlimited credit card.

Finally, social security has always been doomed to fail. It has been proven time and time again that a person investing the same money in a private fund would be far better off than with social security. Privatizing it would be smart, if we could ever get it done. It really needs to happen
Bush started the conservative revolt and inspired the TEA parties, with his big government, and big spending. 0bama just pushed the movement into high gear by announcing nothing but big government, big taxes, and unprecedented spending policies, that even Bush did not see coming.
That is the only decent thing that Bush did. Can you imagine the Supreme Court if two liberal whack jobs were named in thier place?
Absolutely, the Citizen's United decision would have gone the other way. Roberts and Alito lied when they said they wouldn't break precedent. They overturn established law. People are People and corporation/unions are not people. They are conservative activist whack jobs.

Republicans are always big govenment despite the rhetoric they spew.

Bush never claimed the Saddam had a part in the Sept 11 attack.
Also, in 2004 Putin reveled that he told the Bush Administration that the Russian KGB had intelligence indicating that Saddam was planning terrorist attacks on U.S. targets, both abroad and on American soil post September 11, 2001. This information was not released prior to our invasion into Iraq, and i can only assume it was classified at the.

For far too many politicians, they feel they need to justify their presence in Washington by enacting new laws, new government programs and spending ever more taxpayer money.
Just once I'd like to see them "committed to going through our budget line by line to root out waste and inefficiency". but instead they pat each other on the back for writing new creative ways to tax us.
When will enough taxes truly be enough for these @#%!#?? When we are all paying 50% - 60% of our hard earned money as taxes, will they be satisfied then? Or will a batch of newly elected congressmen and senators decide they too need to justify their presence in Washington?
