No conservatives in here supported Bush's response to the economy. Calls to Congress by both Democrats and Republicans ran 70:1 against the Bush package. And oh by the way...Obama--after claiming that he inherited a mess made by Bush--one-upped Bush in stimulus spending.

A. That's not change.
B. If Democrats repeat--no, trump--Republican mistakes, they forfeit their pathetic attempt at blame-shifting.

And spare us your faux indignation theater. It plays well to an audience of you alone.

  But McCain was just as gung-ho for the stimulus.
  
  If it was so terrible, then why didn't your party nominate someone who would have done things differently?

  Georgia and her usual clueless remarks. Impatient as h-ll for the stimulus to work accepting no reponsibility for her parties duplicity in the collapse. Tax cuts would have done nothing in the fall. And you weren't going to fool the public into buying into "trickle down" again.
  
  "after claiming that he inherited a mess made by Bush"
  
  C'mon, Bush could never have made this mess on his own. Judging from his foreign policy work it is doubtful he understood much of what was being done in his name. Afterall he never vetoed anything. He was rubber stamp president if we have ever had one. And politicians had little to do with these repackaged loans, where quick profit was taken and the repackaged nothings that remained dumped down the line for resale.
  
  Let's forget the stimulus. Stop it all right now. Let's see where we end up in a year. The inaction you suggest, or action in the form of tax cuts, would have been disastrous. And if McCain had won there would have been constant infighting with Palin supporters like Limbaugh (who hates McCain) and Cheney (who clearly doesn't care for him either) and that entire wing of the party. The economy would likely have stalled, banks would have failed, we would be headed for a depression, not a deep recession. Thankfully we don't get to find out.
