[Vision2020] A Paradox

[Joe Campbell]

We just finished eight years of one of the worst two term presidencies  
in US history. This man started a war for no damn reason that we as  
still stuck it, ran up the deficit (which Clinton got down to zero  
after it was run up by previous Republican administrations), and left  
us in the worst economic situation since the Great Depression. And you  
see fit to place the blame on a man who has been in office for about a  
month and any Democrat or liberal you can think of.

What is wrong with you? For all the talk from conservatives about  
personal resonsibility I see little of it. If you don't think that  
Bush deserves any of the blame for our current economic troubles, then  
you have a serious problem.

And what on earth does the color of the president's skin have to do  
with any of it? If you want a color free society, then stop talking  
about race in discussions where it is totally irrelevant.

You and others voted for an idiot. Twice. And now were're paying the  
price. It is just that simple.
