You want to blame someone for our *current* state - blame your neo-conservative, lord and savior Bush. It is the policies that he drove down our throats resulting in our current state.
Maybe if we didn't dump almost $1trillion into frivolous, republican driven wars in the Middle East, we'd have that money to use here in the US. Or if the entire focus of every political decision was not based on the "War on Terror" or Iran or Arlen Spector (a Republican) investigating the Patriots or my favorite - the republican driven "Freedom Fries" (remember that waste of time?).
As I've said before, for every baseless reason someone wants to give me for why we're in this current economic state and why it's the democrats' fault, I'll give you a dozen more why it's not.
I'm not even taking into consideration the 25 years that the Has-been McCain didn't do a damn thing in Congress and how he'd look like a deer in headlights trying to deal with these issues. He couldn't even manage his campaign and you think he'd manage the country better?

Who said anything about forgetting. The Democrats were able to filibuster and block many proposals by the Republicans. Checks and balances are no longer in place. Barney Frank was as much to blame as anyone. The real reasons the conservatives lost power was because none of them had the backbone to stand up to their values. They let a minority of Democrats scare them from doing what they believed.
The B.S. you spew about McCain makes me laugh. So you went and voted for a complete unknown, with no voting record and no accomplishments. Brilliant.
Please give me facts as to why the Bush administration caused our plight. The thing you fail to mention when talking about war is the fact that many, many people want you and your children dead. At the very least I believe that is why this President is a danger to us.
It's to bad for the left that the "I told you so's" started so early. Give it time and you a little honesty. You can't be happy how things have started
