I don't know what I wrote that led you to that conclusion. In fact both parties were complicit. If you follow this thread back to the original post, I was responding to the fact that E.J. Dionne was critical of the tea party for daring to support O'Donnel against an establishment Republican. So I clearly understand the Republicans share the responsibility for the mess we are in. I am a conservative but not a Republican, and I freely admit that Bush, Greenspan, McConnel, Boehner, etc. share much of the guilt for our current economic woes. I wonder if you think that Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, etc. share any responsibility.

And while I didn't like bush, and I'm sure he gave away the store, I'm glad he did something to stem the panic. In a lot of ways the panic itself was the problem- and since telling people in this country to grow a spine really doesn't work, I'm glad they did whatever it was they did, since it allayed all the weeping and wailing and got the markets back on track.
