By Jim Vicevich / June 5, 2011 /

Just an amazing post from the Big Government site about Connecticut’s Democratic legislature and Democratic Gov. and their pursuit to prove that big government tax sucking liberalism can actually work.

Democrats Blame Bush for Everything – PROVE IT

By Steve McGough / March 7, 2008 / Comments Off on Democrats Blame Bush for Everything – PROVE IT

I’m calling out all Democrats and liberals. Prove it. Prove that President Bush did this, and it resulted in that. I’m talking a clear case of cause and effect. Jobs, housing, oil prices, gas prices, global warming… Pick your poison and give it a shot. Reuters just posted a story, Democrats Slam Bush on Gloomy…

President Obama is considering limiting executive pay to companies who are part of the TARP program, and GM and Chrysler are still in the courtroom fighting California’s proposed legislation to raise fuel efficiency standards. Again we highlight why government should not get involved with the free market. First we have Obama’s marketing campaign to limit…

By Steve McGough / November 7, 2008 /

We all knew it. Bush 43 tried to define his presidency by bringing new tone to Washington D.C., and called his politics compassionate conservatism. By reaching across the aisle and letting Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) write the No Child Left Behind in 2001, propping up the U.S. steel industry with tariffs in 2002, and dishing out…
