I'm a conservative. I, of course, voted for Mccain. He wouldnt have been my first choice. It wouldnt have mattered. He didnt have a chance in this election because of the track record of Bush and the "moderate" republicans in Congress. I agree that the Democratic congress should and does hold much if not all of the blame for the econimic crisis we are in, but Bush screwed up by adopting the policies of the "spend, spend, spend" liberals. He folded like a cheap shirt, and in an effort to "get something done", made mistakes. There is one thing he should have done more of. Its called VETO! The republicans spent more on "earmarks" than the Dems! Of course this economy doesnt have anything to do with Bush; but its kinda hard to point the finger at the other guys when you are not being fiscally responsible. At least with a Dem you KNOW he is gonna spend! Republicans are done until they become conservatives again. I think the American people made that clear by the pickups (25 I think)the Dems got in the House and Senate.
However, the one thing that I think Bush got RIGHT is the war. I have to admit that I'm scared as hell of what MIGHT happen to this country under an Obama administration. Not so much because he is a radical Far left unknown that seems to change his position with each speech he gives, but because of the complete pkg. (A Dem controlled House, Senate, and White House). We know what Reid, Pelosi and Shumer want....Our guns and our money.
So, to all you Libs here on MM...I dont agree with you politically, but do agree that Bush and the Republicans screwed up. I think they became too liberal.
