who failed. It was his policies. And Romney will implement THE SAME policies and have THE SAME advisers.

The Republicans have succeeded in hiding Bush (probably in a 'spider hole' like Saddam after the fall of Baghdad), and keeping him out of sight so that nobody will remember him. However, the party might have renounced BUSH, but they've made absolutely no effort to renounce or even SOFTEN their POLICIES. In fact, they've DOUBLED DOWN ON THEM.

MORE tax cuts
MORE deregulation of the finance industry
MORE oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico
MORE wars and large military interventions

It's like saying you burned your hand when you touched a hot stove...and then somebody tells you "well, the reason you burnt yourself was because the stove clearly wasn't HOT enough! If you'd turned the heat up twice as high it wouldn't have hurt at all.
