Ditto. Same here.
But I believe as soon as the GOP alienates these albatross ideologues it will resurface again to be what it used to be. I look forward to that day.

Yeah, they said that in 2008 too....
It seems as though this party hasn't had a legitimate candidate for presidency since Bush Sr.
You've had Bob Dole, Bush Jr. and now Romney. If these are the best the republican party can come up with, it seems to me it is on its deathbed.
Somebody is always gleefully claiming the death of the GOP.
If only you could be more specific on what bills they passed and that Bush signed. Then we could have more reasons to blame Bush.
So I can presume you don’t blame Bush…right?

…My issue on this issue is putting blame where blame is due, and Obama has tried to push for MANY jobs bills but the Senate republicans have blocked him on EVERY one of them, always stating some excuse like "oh, it would never pass the house so why waste time on it".
If the republicans were to go back to the days of Eisenhower, I'd actually be a republican. However, today's republican party has pushed me to the left and made those on the right demonize me for my beliefs.
What, the liberal's "fuddy duddy" President? The one that liberals thought wasn't doing enough to stop McCarthy, not being liberal enough to further FDR's goals?
Yeah, I'll believe that.
Contemporary liberals found a decent man in Eisenhower because of a couple of his speeches (one of which coincidentally coincides with ahistorical commentary about the War in Iraq, wink wink nudge nudge). It's a disingenuous crock to make us think they would have gunned for a man like Ike in their ranks. It's presentist nonsense with all of the cherry picking you could dream of.

This is an opinion that annoys me to no end. A leader finds a way to get things passed. Does it even seem remotely acceptable for the ‘most powerful man in the world’ to try then just throw his hands up and say ‘they won’t do what I want’ and quit trying? Other presidents have had opposing parties in congress and were able to get things done…and this president ran on a platform of “turn the page on the ugly partisanship in Washington, so we can bring Democrats and Republicans together to pass an agenda that works for the American people." FAIL!
Its not a redefinition its what the republican party was and should be...I was a republican for 43 yrs and the teaparty so turned me off that I left and am now a registered independent....the republican party was never for just the rich and against everything for everyone else
And they're not now. I really wish people like you would stop telling other what it means to be a "real" conservative, especially when you do nothing but bash us now. That drives me more nuts than the most ardent partisan hackery.

Perhaps the fact that there was a Democratic House and Senate during Bush's second term has something to do with that disaster?
