So, all you righties -- whether you accept Bush as one of your own, or try to cast him as an apostate -- either way, YOU VOTED FOR HIM, didn't you?
Everything you've seen over the past year -- the various sellouts of the middle class, the abject failures of the most fundamental forms of government service, the continuing catastrophes that are Iraq and the entire mideast policy, the unforgivable inaction on really protecting the homeland (thank G-d we have not been attacked again -- YET), the continuing giveaways to the corporatocracy, and of course a stumbling economy -- it's all just what we told you was going to happen. It was all not only foreseeable but inevitable -- a necessary consequence of a claque that operates only on misinformation, manipulation, and deceit --and it will all get worse before it gets better.
So: whether he's the apotheosis of conservatism, or its opposite, or anything in between -- he's still YOUR DOING. Where the hell were you last year? And will you now accept your responsibility -- and learn from it?
