Sorry Editec, you must not have been paying as close attention as I was from 2000-2006, because it was ALL GOP.
Did the GOP need to convince a few Democrats to vote with them? Sure. Did they give them pork to go along? Probably.
So they sold out and you STILL think it's ALL the Republicans fault?
For example, in 1993, I saw how many Democrats went along with NAFTA. So clearly enough Dems were bought off by lobbyists/special interest to go along. And do I think the Dems are angels? No. But the GOP is who got us where we are today.
If your agument is that the GOP is WORSE the the DEMS, okay. But your posts often neglect to note that the DEMS ALSO worked hand in hand with the REpublicans and that makes you look like an unthinking partisan for the Dems.
If you don't think so, then stop voting. Stop caring about politics. If it doesn't matter and they are all equally rotten, stop voting.
Yeah, that makes like no sense.
Remember the Democrats from 2000-2006 that tried really hard to stop the GOP's radical agenda? If you forgot, just google the Nuclear Option. The GOP wanted to do away with filabusters because that was the only weapon the Dems had. So then the Dems took power and what do you think happened? The GOP have filabustered more in 2 years than the Dems did in 6.
Whose fault is that? The Republicans or the feeble Dems?
The reason I have a major problem with Republicans saying, "everyone has to share the blame", is for one that's a lie, but also this montra will help them out big time in 2010 and 2012. Fuck that! They fucked up this economy and they took us into that war for $. And not money for us but money for them. Money for the oil companies and defense companies. The losses they put on the US taxpayers.
Everyone has to to accept blame for WHAT THEY DID.
Blindly just blaming everyone when everyone was NOT involved is a mistake I quite agree.
That's why it pays to KNOW who voted for what, don't you think?
