"Thank you to all of the Republicans that "punished" Bush over anything..."
Well, I voted Republican, despite Bush having divided the party. Stop blaming everyone else BUT him and give credit for the loss where it is due.
If you voted for Bush in 2004...then if you want to blame me..blame yourself.
I KNEW when I voted for him that he was for a guest worker program at the border...he never made any other claim.
NO ONE can blame him for that...
How about CONGRESS...Bush doesn't make laws.
Kimberly, the people who voted against such good conservatives as Allen, Burns, Specter and Talent are to blame.
I'd like to see the list in the House. Start with Weldon in California. I bet you their are a lot more Conservatives who lost.
As conservatives we should assign blame were it belongs. The voters who voted against conservatives.
Yes, nevermind that the GOP subgroup taking the biggest losses were the Tancredo candidates. Pretty much all but Tancredo himself got their asses kicked, but of course the Tancredo-bots blame Bush.
I remember all the spamming from the Tancredo crowd of how they were 'going to send a message' and only support candidates adopting the hardest line against illegal aliens. Guess which group just marginalized themselves from the next conservative coalition that will emerge? Even Katherine Harris didn't flame out as bad. The all-or-nothing option is gone from the table after that sorry performance, any solution will involve some sort of penalty buy-in/Amnesty Lite, and if we are lucky perhaps can still get business prosecutions and a complete fence.
