This is truly Bush’s fault. He ruined the R party forever. The republic is dead, long live the Fedzilla. With a sycophant press and a submissive legislature we could see the beginnings of a “President for life”.

I agree. This is to a large degree the Bush/Rove legacy.

It is the fault of the people who elected the rinos.
Stop with the blaming Bush mantra.

No one "makes" a party and no one ruined a party; and if all W did was protect the U.S. from Islamic fruitcakes for 8 years, he'd still be a hero in my book.

That is no excuse whatsoever for the actions of anyone else; and certainly they all make choices, made them two years ago, and are making them now. Stop shifting blame. There is little doubt that Bush weakened Republicans, but that is all he did. They have no one to blame but themselves if they give Cass Sunstein a pass.

Whatever. the GOP in Congress really screwed the pooch. Never ending spending increases...they completely abandoned Bush in early 2005 leaving him high and dry on social security reform. Bush is not without blame, but this finger-pointing is ridiculous. The GOP as a whole abandoned the idea of limited government..a majority opinion in this nation.

You, Code Pink, Obama, Asselrod and AsselRahm have a lot in common. You and they blame Bush for everything.

That should tell you something about YOU!

‘nuff said.

This is truly Bush’s fault. He ruined the R party forever.

Personally, I think this is all Juan "Bipartisan" McCain's fault.

The Republicans are still out looking for their spines. No guts; no glory!

“This is truly Bush’s fault. He ruined the R party forever. The republic is dead, long live the Fedzilla.

Your comment is quite infantile... However, I suggest you to go to the following website and read some of the Thank you letters to President Bush and Vice-President Cheney.

http://danareport.com/thank-you-president-bush-and-vice-president-cheney/

This is a little example of one of those letters: “Dear Mr. President,

Thank you for your service these last eight years in keeping us safe within our borders, giving our military a commander-in-chief of moral standing and dealing with crisis and hardship with strength, compassion and optimism., etc., etc.”

[EGPWS]

This is truly Bush’s fault.

So are hang nails to those who don't maintain their cuticles.

Booooosh's Fault!

What a bunch of worthless lacking of spine wimps to promote such a fallacy!
