Tell you what....take a guess as to what percent of these raucous obstructionists voted for Obama and have changed their minds based on his policies, and are now out there mudslinging? Any bets on whether it's more than single digits?
Are you really unaware of how unpopular President Bush (and Congressional Republicans) are amongst Conservatives in regards to government spending? You may not be aware of this, but a number of Republicans lost their seats in the house in conservatives districts, because of Republican dissatisfaction with their lack of fiscal discipline.
Perhaps this isn't an issue you've delved into much, but as I said--there is wide discontent with Republicans failing to live up to their fiscal conservatism, and that's a major reason that Democrats have retaken the Congress. Of course that's a frying pan into the fire proposal, as we are seeing, but to pretend that this is due to President Bush being white is really an inaccurate accusation I think.
