No, my point is that all the ills facing this country are a result of the actions of both Republicans and Democrats and they were allowed to do this because partisan hacks give ‘their bastard’ a pass simply because of the letter trailing their name.

Both parties have done bad things and that’s why the country is in the state it is in.

You mention that Bush tried to fix this in 2003 with his ‘proposal’. What did he ‘propose’ doing? Give me a name of the proposal or a link where I can read about it.

I don’t have a dog in the partisan bickering. I’m an American first and foremost and my only interest is in the country that your party is going to create for my children to grow up in.

Yes, Barney is a part. But, so is Bush. Just what do you think “Compassionate Conservatism” is about, anyway?
