The 8 Year Trainwreck that was the Bush Administration.
During this time, conservatives, social and economic, got everything their hearts desired, served on a silver platter with a side order of Democrat rollovers.
Deregulation? You got it.
Tax cuts for the wealthy? Here ya go.
Abstinence only sex education? Sure thing.
War in Iraq? Unquestioningly approved.
Deficits don't matter? If you say so.
Torture? *looks the other way*
The results:
The economic collapse, the most anemic job growth since Herbert Hoover, increased teen pregnancy, and Al Qaida was able to recover and reconstitute. Disparity between the top 1% and the rest of society not seen since the Gilded Age. The debt was doubled with not much to show for it (to any except the pockets that got lined during his reign). Our reputation and credibility were greatly damaged.
We gave conservatism a good run and empirical evidence indicates it doesn't work.
Tax cuts don't create jobs.
Deregulation doesn't create a stronger economy.
Torture doesn't work.
The war in Iraq was a godsend to Al Qaida.
Abstinence education is a waste of tax dollars.
Any conservatives who call for any of the above need to be reminded that we've been there, done that and it didn't work.
