I've never liked that attitude that some people have, saying they'd like to see the worst candidates win, so that people will see how bad things get and learn a lesson. I'd rather just avoid the bad times. But--I will admit, there is some value in people getting to witness for themselves just how badly a leftist ideologue can mess things up. It's been a LONG time since Carter; many voters today weren't around during his presidency.
Some dedicated leftists won't learn, however. No matter how bad things get, they'll believe that it's because we haven't gone far enough to the left.
I remember it, though I was very young. I used to be surrounded by gas stations where I lived...and I remember it taking 5 minutes to get out of our driveway - when we had gas to run the car - because of the even/odd days. I remember how lousy things were, and hoped I'd never see it again. Now, there is gas - but instead of no gas to put in the car, there are no jobs to earn the high money it takes to PUT the gas in the car.
Obviously there are jobs, but since the Left said that 4.4 % UE under Bush was horrible, then 9.1% under Obama, 5+ years of a Dem Senate, and 4 years of a Dem House (2 of those years with overwhelming & filibuster proof majorities) is a borderline depression.
As Reagan once said (updated for today), "It's a 'recession' when your neighbor loses his job. It's a 'depression' when you lose yours. And 'recovery' is when Barack Hussein Obama loses his."
“And your post just indicates the magnitude of defective palates out there.”

Some of them are so deranged it is as if a man lying in traction in an intensive care unit following a car crash at sixty miles an hour is saying, “I would be doing fine if I had been driving a hundred and twenty.”
I don’t care how bad someone says George W. Bush was as president, to believe Obama is better indicates insanity.
