    Conservatives: You can argue all you want, but the facts betray you.

    Our economy totters on the verge of another Depression.

    Our international reputation is in tatters.

    That's the George W. Bush record, and nothing you say and nothing you do can ever change that fact. Moan, groan, and bang your heads against the wall all you want, but nothing can change the fact that George W. Bush and the GOP have wrecked America.

    George W. Bush is the worst President in U.S. history.
