Yet it was Bush leading congress, having is own party for 5-6 years, that bankrupted the nation and our greatly hurt our status as a world power.

Pure, unadulterated BS. I suppose you would have preferred us joining the ICC, kissing Saddam's ass, and trying to understand the "reasons those poor terrorists attacked us".

You know, we had over four years of astounding growth and good economic times....the housing market crash and Fannie Mae were not GWB or the Republicans fault. They tried to regulate FM/FM and were stopped by the Dems. Greenspan and the Federal Reserve set interests rates and money supply.

RE :” I suppose you would have preferred us joining the ICC, kissing Saddam's ass, and trying to understand the “reasons those poor terrorists attacked us”.

Looking back I would rather have Saddam in power NOW than a bankrupt US nation, a near depression, and Pelosi and Obama in complete power with a mandate for socialism,leaving terms capitalism and conservatism a joke, gifts from GW (WMDs-Stimulus-bailout-debt doesn't matter) Bush and his so called messages from his Father.

RE : “You know, we had over four years of astounding growth and good economic times....

That is what I call the Hannity fantasy world. He still repeats it and gets laughed at by guests. There was NO economic growth! None! It was phony asset bubble of paper values based on foreign debt and printed money. It lured many good people (and bad people) into buying/invested at inflated values they will never see again, And now the government is borrowing/printing trillions more to paper over those losses with a socialistic takeover of our private economy.

Lastly, recently we have seen Republicans stand together against democrats. To do that they had to repudiate the GWB policies of “Don't worry about debt, the future is NOW(my election 2004=now)!”

I have to agree with that.

President Bush and the Republican controlled congress did not put us in the position we are in today.
