Why can't conservatives admit George Bush broke America? (Salon's anonymous "conservaive" explains)

Thanks for your great post. We are just hurting our own party by bashing Bush and those that fall into the trap have already hurt our party. The media and the left wanted McCain to be our candidate, because he was a Bush basher from way back. They knew he would not support Bush on anything and that he would take shots at him. With McCain’s help and the GOP that ran from Bush at the end...they handed the democrat party negative talking points and helped bring our entire party down.

It’s was and still is a trap.

To simpletons, it is all really too simple.

Because it was FDR that broke it first. It was LOOOONG broke before Bush came around.

'Why is it my conservative friends won't admit the truth: that George W. Bush "broke" the United States of America?'

He may not have broken America, but he sure busted up the GOP!

The Rats being in complete control is a blessing in disguise. Within a few months they will “own” everthing that comes out of Washington, from bad to worse. Maybe then the American people will get a clear picture of the Democrats total incompetence

It won't matter, there is no opposition Party!

Blame Bush all that you want, but he did not have that much control, especially from 2006 and on.

Yea right!

LOL!

I will always remember him in Africa, handing out our money, doing a little dance while our troops were in the field fighting.

He was more concerned with his daughters wedding then with the nation after 2006.

With the exception of the bailout when he actually pushed it by appearing on TV for it.

Every action he pushed was always the ones that went against the will of the People, like open borders.

Their corruption will rise to the surface for all to see. With the light being shone directly upon them, all the crooks will be out in the open for the country to see.

Each State will re-elect his own crook, since he is bringing home the bacon.

Most times the crook steals the bacon before it hits the market.

The Kenyan Clown, in 100 days, has already increased regular budget spending (and taxing) at a rate far beyond what the Bush administration did. I have been watching the national debt (here), and it has exploded since the Obamaites took over.

Beyond that, the TARP money --- which the lying Democrats refer to in the same budgetary terms as a regularly occurring budget item, and it was not, it was a one-time expense --- was spent on assets, largely on buying non-voting preferred shares in banks. Those preferred shares are paying us 5% per year, and can be redeemed by the banks, many of which are already eager to do so. As far as I know, we have not even had a single loss on any of those preferred shares.

In contrast, the Kenyan Clown's porkulus money is largely going to wasteful and even stupid projects.

You're saying that like it's a bad thing. There are plenty of people walking around Washington calling themselves Republicans who need to go before this party can have the cohesive message it needs to acheive its primary goals of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness (as opposed to the Democrat party, who's stated goal is Equality).
