Poll question: Who is the real architect of the 8 disasterous years of Bush?
We know that Bush was a puppet in many respects. He's getting the low poll numbers while others keep a low profile. Who do you REALLY blame for the 8 disasterous years of Bush rule?

1. Why President Cheney, of course. Though it obviously wasn't an individual effort.

5. Other: The millions of chucklefucks who voted for him,
The Supreme Court who put him at 1600, the media and congress who rolled over for him, and the millions of people who blew off election fraud for all these years.

Every addict needs enablers, and Bush has had PLENTY of enablers.

7. Cheney loves war profiteering and prison profiteering and privatizing
as much as possible to build in profits for his cronies, so I'd say he has really run the show and gotten even more millions for his friends and away from us "untouchables."

10. The buck stops at Shrub, but the others had their parts to play as well.
Part of me wishes that Obama wasn't about healing this country. I would love to see a tar and feathering of all these fuckers.

11. Hey, everybody here forgot about CLINTON!!!!!
Edited on Thu Nov-20-08 03:15 PM by butlerd
The Repukes blamed him for the recession shortly after Bush took office (which, of course Bush exacerbated), 9/11, heck, what DIDN'T they find some way to blame on CLINTON? The way some Repukes talk it's almost as though Clinton got an 8-year extension as POTUS even though the rest of us here on Planet Earth obviously knew who was running the country (into the ground).

14. The only one who really knew what Bush was like...he could have
stopped Bush quickly and simply, but he encouraged and helped this idiot...

George Walker Bush....The President of the United States...He, if anyone knew how hard the job would be..yet he encouraged his stooge of a son to try to become a President. Old man Bush is the ultimate jerk here..for only he knew, and clearly he could have stopped his son easily and quickly.

He did neither, and he thought his son could handle it, and we all know the truth of that

17. Cheney, Rush, Dumbass Dubya, Rice, Rumsfeld, Reagan,
Gramm, McConnell, Gingrich, Rove, Atwater, Poppy, Nixon, and the whole whole crime syndicate including the tens of millions of morans that throw in their lot with the cabal.

Yeah, I called your parent/child/sibling/cousin/in-law/friend a moran and active willing participants in undoing America and stomping the snot out of the poor and middle class.

21. Cheney is the master puppeteer but he's only a Lieutenant
to his bosses sequestered safely behind the curtain, The Captains of Industry.

28. follow the money
Who had the most to gain? Where does the majority of our tax dollars go? The corporate cabal that controls the War industry is the architect of the last eight years. Bush... a puppet, way to stupid to be trusted to make decisions. Cheney... puppet string puller, the liason to the cabal. What do they fear more than anything? Obama's honesty and talent for diplomacy.
