If we win in November...
Do we spend the next 4 years blaming every bad thing that happens on Bush, while taking full credit for even the slightest scrap of good news? We've had to deal with the Fright Wing blaming everything bad in the last 100 years on Clinton's blowjob afterall... so, do we stay above the fray, or do we give it back to them?

1. Excuse Me?
"If" we win in November?

If?

I think you mean to say, "When we win in November".

Don't you?

2. Actually, in our case, it will be accurate to blame everything on Bush.
He is, after all, responsible for Iraq, the economy, the deficits, etc., right?

3. how in hell does a major political party stay above the fray?
when there are only two major political parties? a fray requires at least two participants, whether they're active participants or not.

4. Are you kidding?
We spend at least a year blaming that asswipe. After that, we do the right thing and blame our own guy. But truthfully? It will take 10-15 years to put to right what Chaimpy hath wrought.

5. I think it's classier not to blame others
Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm inherited a mess from fat boy, and she's focused on resolving the budget problems, rather than blaming others. I don't like all she's done to balance the budget (my pay got cut), but she's not blaming Engler, when she could justifiably do so.
Janet Reno didn't blame the previous administration when David Koresh decided to set the compound on fire, she took responsibility for it.

Just like we get sick of Bush blaming Clinton for every mistake Bush has made, middle america doesn't want to hear any politician sit and blame others all the time.

8. I Especially Like
The "75% tax on the wealthiest"

I just can't wait to see folks like Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, Snoop Doggie Dog, most of the NBA, NFL, MLB, and the like forking over their ill-gotten gains to the rest of us!
