George Bush was just too unaware of how he was manipulated by Karl Rove, Lee Atwater and the rest of the "hatchet brothers" so I don't totally fault him for just riding in the back seat like a dupe while his handlers ran him and us unto a ditch. John McCain should have been well aware of these underhanded tactics as they used them on him before as well. For that, I can't forgive his ignorance as that is no excuse when you switch from a target to a shitslinger.
Drive the final nail into "Reganonomics" as a economic policy and as a way to run a country. Approximately 30 years of cutting taxes and regulation while allowing the wolves to guard, build and govern the hen house has taught us a real lesson in moral stupidity and fiscal irresponsibility.
