Is it only Bush’s fault?

…if we’re in so deep with the Iraq war, our financial crisis and the falling economy, or is it also Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Rice’s fault? Sure, all these players bear a huge responsibility for the mess we’re in, but their staying at the nation’s helm is chiefly the fault of a majority of Americans who after barely putting them in power in 2000, repeated and amplified the mistake in 2004. Messing up once might be human and could be forgiven, but repeating it while reason was pointing against such a vote is like committing a capital sin. The smart ones who voted to keep Bush in office did so because they were scared, but mostly because they wanted to “save on their taxes”; now, they’ll have to join the rest of us to pay for the disaster. The chicken has come home to roost, and whatever these folks saved on tax-cuts for the rich, they’ll have to confront an inevitable tax hike, a recession and declining properties values among other ills. As I like to say, those who voted for Bush twice thought it was smart to burn the house furniture in order to stay temporarily warm and comfy. Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and the Wall Street Journal with their rosy supply-side theories couldn’t predict today’s outcome, especially when the administration had no motivation to balance the budget. Perhaps all these Bush supporters will learn a little lesson, but they probably won't; stupidity runs deep.
