Do These People Think?

Twice in the last two weeks I've read someone expressing the view that Washington is screwed up because of the liberal politicians. Hello! The most "conservative" president in years has been in power for six years, and had a conservative, Republican Congress through most of his term.

Let's look at some issues:
1) Are they blaming Iraq on liberals? Would that be Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, or George W. Bush?

2) Who would they be blaming the deficit on? (Remember, it was a huge surplus when Clinton left office).

3) Are the "liberals" (such a nebulous term) responsible for global warming, for high prescription drug prices, for the healthcare uninsured, for high gas prices, or for the illegal immigrants?

What are they thinking?
