You'll find me in complete agreement here, and NOBODY is more pissed about it than I am!
Here's one little aspect of it nobody talks about;
Bush takes office, having
already put Saddam Hussein on notice that the UN folly was gonna come to a stop.
(
SEVENTEEN UN resolutions, Clinton should have started bombing after the first...)
He hasn't even unpacked the dishes when 9/11 happens, and finds the Clinton administration had been asleep at the international wheel for eight years.
The Democrats jump on the pro-war bandwagon because it's the trendy thing to do, and vote to go to war.
(You see, Bush was not in Congress.....)
War costs money, and the Defeatocrats were already crying that Bush was gonna slash social/entitlement spending. To keep the economy from collapsing by the end of 2001, he did everything he could to stimulate spending by every American, so he shelved any talk of cutbacks.
By 2003, the nation has succumbed to BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) with the Typhoid Mary Defeatocrats spreading it like herpes in the ghetto. The media is pushing every Left-Wing hater into the spotlight, and stirring class warfare. Bush, in a stupid move, signs one spending bill after another with more waste every time, to try to buy goodwill with the Defeatocrats.
Just like McCain, he is slow to realize the Left hates him no matter what he does and they will gladly take whatever money the can grab for their "peeps" back home, and budgets balloon and explode every year.
Bush should have told them to go pack sand, and the nation should have been run like adults were in the driver's seat.
Anybody can run a gov't into the weeds, I wanna see somebody get back on the road.
I have my doubts about McCain, but Obama will destroy this economy and make the US susceptible in ways most people cannot imagine.
