I hate the Republican party too and understand why others do; HOWEVER the rats are in full control of congress and the White House and have used that power to make things even worse. Right now I want gridlock in Washington. I want Republicans to block nearly everything and democrats to get the blame. Republicans have nothing to offer but NO. But right now we need NO.
Democats were unpopular in 2006 and 2008 but successfully made the election an referendum on GWB. They won the State Houses and governorships using Bush also. Now they dont like voters applying the same rule to them.
Not quite true. While I agree that the DBM had successfully demonized Bush and the Republicans, the Republicans in the Congress aided and abetted their own demise through sheer ineptness. They had lurched so far to the left while they had all 3 branches of government that it became impossible to distinguish them from Democrats. As a result of the lines between Dems and 'Pubbies being so blurred, NO ONE could distinguish one from the other. In '06, the election was essentially, "what the h&ll, the 'Pubbies aren't doing what I want, maybe the Dems will." By '08, the DBM had managed to discredit all of the decent 'Pubbies running for prez except their favorite butt boy McVain while building that "Stairway to Heaven" with zero so that EVERYONE wanted to vote for him and not the old, entrenched white guy. The "good guys in the white hats" had simply disappeared and were replaced by a despicable class of RINOS who are still there.
