It's either the media or liberals sabotaging Republican ideas. if it wasn't for the media and liberals, George Bush's presidency would have been a rousing success.

They can't see past their own lies and mistakes, so they look for the easiest way out, blame it on someone else. It's hard for a conservative to admit when their wrong, listen to Rush, he never makes a mistake, is never wrong. Bush and company are the same way, there are no mistakes, just detours, setbacks, and one way streets. To go in another direction would be an admission of wrong doing. And to admit a mistake is to be honest, they can't do it, it's not in the talking points, it's not in their blood.
And to those that say the media and liberals are the reason Vietnam was lost, NOT SO. It was POLITICS, democrats and republicans. The war was being run by the White House, no different then, no different now. The orders were issued through the Presidents, not the Senate or Congress. It was the White House, pure and simple.

Liberals are the ones passing blame.
Conservatives do pass blame and they are usually shuned by the base.
Liberals blame things on parents, Mcdonalds, gun makers, tobacco, the president, this years newest pychological disorder......
Personal responsibility should be the key to everything but why say I was wrong when you can say it is someone elses fault.

Same reason liberals do: political expediency. You can almost always spin your screw-up as somebody else's fault, and at least some of the people will buy it. Usually, it's just your base, but you do need to keep your base on-board...

I don't blame my problems on anyone but myself. One thing Liberals and the media will not tell you is, that a majority of Conservatives like myself, don't care about all that hoopla, and for the most part, just do their own thing, take care of their own, and mind their own business.

Because libs fallaciously pretend the world stops and starts whenever a Republican enters the White House, forcing us to continually remind them that they are wrong.

6 years of controlling House and Senate
7 years repub commander-in-thief
700,000 Iraqi civilians dead
3,600 American soldiers dead
30,000 American soldiers seriously wounded
80 minutes to scramble an F-16 immediately following WTC #1's basement being purposefully demolished, err, I mean a plane hitting it even though it takes a maximum of 10 minutes
And they still blame one b l o w job, get a grip, your time is over.
The revolution is coming, will you be ready?
Peace

It seems they are very sensitive and they accuse liberals of not taking responsibility but it seems they're the ones who need a scapegoat.

I refuse to blame anyone for the success of Bush...time will rub it in their faces enough.
I accept responsibility for ALL of my choices...and enjoy the success of them as well...
