Yes, it's true, the Bush era Republicans screwed up on a lot of things. Medicare Part D, the border, and No Child Left Behind to name a few. But let's not forget that the economy was doing fairly well (except around 9/11) until Pelosi came into power in 2007. People seem to think that the President is solely responsible for the economy. Not so. More often than not, it's the congress. So when people talk about the "Clinton boom" and the "Bush recession," what they should really be talking about is the Gingrich boom and Pelosi recession. Like it or not, the President has had almost two years to fix things, the Congress has had almost four. Things are clearly not getting better. So we have two options, we can vote for more of the same or try a new batch of Republicans. Personally, I'd rather take a chance on the Republicans. I mean, most Democrats won't even acknowledge that there's a problem. They mock us for daring to complain or disagree with them. And they expect us to reward them for that? I don't think so!
In regards to this election, we have given the Democrats a chance to turn things around and its clear that was a poor decision. Tomorrow will be a great day!
That is what you think. But not this time! The republicans screwed America over big time for 8 years, forcing us into the worst recession in any of our lifetimes, and we have only just started to recover from that mess.
As a side note, what we Tea Party activists are trying to do is elect new Republicans that are true conservatives. We are NOT trying to elect or re-elect the Republicans that ran things during the Bush years. Those were mainly progressives (who aren't much different than the liberal progressives currently in power). And progressives are bad! So when you hear the President or one of his supporters saying that we want to go back to the way things were, he's full of it. I don't know a single conservative that wants to go back to the way things were. We want LIMITED government. Period.
Wow, you're a tea party activist?! No matter how you slice it, all this so-called "tea party" is is just the group of people that never voted for President Obama, and will never support him anyway. Plus, the arguement about the liberal media is such BS. There is not a liberal media. That is just a lame excuse. All of the networks over at least the last week have been celebrating the supposed victory by the Republicans.
