The Bush-Cheney debacle

Some say I blog angry.  Probably.  But then I remember a different America, a better America, and I'm very angry at how our leaders have betrayed us.  Take the Bush II years for example.  Andrew Sullivan wrote this about an hour ago, and he sounds angry too:

Someone in the GOP needs to take Bush-Cheney apart, to show how they created the debt crisis we are in, by throwing away a surplus on unaffordable tax cuts, launching two unfunded wars, and one new unfunded entitlement. They need to take on the war crimes that has deeply undermined the soul of the United States. They need to note the catastrophic negligence that gave us the worst national security lapse since Pearl Harbor (9/11) despite being warned explicitly in advance, accept weak and false intelligence to launch a war they were too incompetent to fight or win, sat back as one of the worst hurricanes all but took out a major city, and was so negligent in bank regulation that we ended up with Lehman and all that subsequently took place.

These were not minor error[s]. They were catastrophic misjudgments which took an era of peace, surplus and prosperity and replaced it with a dystopia of massive debt, a lawless executive branch, two unwinnable wars, and a record of war crimes that had their source in the very Oval Office.

Sullivan has every right to be angry because the Republican Party is his party, and they have turned into a party of clowns.

The question for the next, and all subsequent, GOP nominees for President: "Can you tell us how your policies will differ from those of the last Republican President?"

Agreed. But who will ask it?
