The biggest jumps by far in state power and debt occurred under Bush, a president they worshiped and worked hard to re-elect. But now we are rushing to socialism?
Via Andrew Sullivan:
"There were no tea-parties to protest the $32 trillion Medicare prescription drug benefit. There was no Randian rumbling as Bush took over local schools. There was no defense of the Constitution as Bush and Cheney secretly suspended the fourth and first amendments."Now that a moderate Democrat like Obama is cleaning up the mess of the last 8 years, now the GOP cocoon have these principles?
Bush will be the albatross the GOP will continue to deny, but the public gets it. A recent NYT poll had 33% of the public blaming the economic crisis on the Bush administration, far more than anyone else. Wall Street is a distant runner-up, with 21%. Only two percent blame Obama.
