On blaming Bush – and endorsing Scott Brown
Hotline on Call reports that post-Coakley/Obama rally yesterday in MA, Democrats were blaming Coakley’s bungling campaign on … who else? Bush (via Memeorandum):
As audience members streamed out of Pres. Obama’s rally on behalf of AG Martha Coakley (D) here tonight, the consensus was that the fault for Coakley’s now-floundering MA SEN bid lies with one person — George W. Bush.
“People are upset because there’s so many problems,” Rosemary Kverek, 70, a retired Charleston schoolteacher said as tonight’s rally wrapped up. “But the problems came from the previous administration. So we’re blaming poor Obama, who’s working 36 hours a day … to solve these problems that he inherited.”
Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), speaking with a gaggle of reporters after the event, said that while state Sen. Scott Brown (R) offers voters a quick fix, in reality, the problems created by “George Bush and his cronies” are not so easily solved.
“If you think there’s magic out there and things can be turned around overnight, then you would vote for someone who could promise you that, like Scott Brown,” Kennedy said. “If you don’t, if you know that it takes eight years for George Bush and his cronies to put our country into this hole … then you know we have a lot of digging to do, but some work needs to be done and this president’s in the process of doing it and we need to get Marcia Coakley to help him to do that.”
Really – no surprises here, considering this is the party that historically does not take responsibility for its own actions, and encourages others to do the same. Of course they’re going to blame Bush rather than face up to the mounting opposition against their huge gov’t agenda. Thats What They Do.
Isn’t Martha Coakley a strong enough candidate that she should be able to stand on her own record rather than playing the Bush blame game? Apparently not, since not only do she and her supporters feel she needs to run on (and distort) Bush’s record rather than her own and her party’s, but she and her handlers also didn’t think she’d be able to pull out a win tomorrow without President Obama visiting the state in the final days of the campaign to give a soaring but – typically – empty rhetorical speech endorsing her.
Bbbbut even with calling in our celebrity President yesterday to pick up the slack for Coakley’s campaign by promoting both her and healthcare “reform,” WH senior advisor David Axelturf says the 2010 elections won’t be a referendum on Obama and other Democrats. Er – ok.
Simply spinsational.
BTW, Patrick Kennedy – her name is not “Marcia.” It’s Martha.
And lastly, Michelle Malkin has probably the best endorsement of Scott Brown – and takedown of the GOP establishment types like David Frum who are declaring that the Tea Partiers’ support of Brown is a vindication of FrumCo’s moderate aka “go along with the left in the interest of harmony and winning elections” agenda – here. My main reasons for supporting Brown, as I’ve said before, are because a win of that normally reliably Democrat (“Kennedy”) seat would send shockwaves throughout the country and send Dems in DEFCON 1 panic mode, while energizing Republicans in a way that we haven’t seen in a long time. Not only that, but he’s said he would vote against ObamaCare. But Malkin lays out several other (mostly) good reasons to support him as well. Make sure to read the whole thing.

The Democrats are a disaster. We have been encountering the vapid ‘blame Bush’ mantra, even in some clearly orchestrated seminar calling on the talk shows as of late. The theme it takes time, is terribly weak in response to the complete utter rejection to the Carter Malaise return since the Democrats took the Majority of Congress in 2006, which is in high misguided gear with Team Obama.
However, I am no David Frum supporter, he foolishly blew with some strange professional speech writing winds after 2004, making huge fashionable mistakes – debasing his own interests.
Yet, this play on GOP Establishments is equally as misguided. There are some very vapid Conservative Pundits who disastrously enabled the Democrats after 2004 with overtly reactionary offerings. And dividing the opposition to the horrid DNC, playing class warfare with ‘establishment’ figures and mythic ‘blue bloods’ is simply ugly and defies sound conservative principles which accept all.
Reagan would have led all to the right path, not dividing for personal cheap political gain. Mr. Brown is an ironic hero, as a fine candidate. He is a moderate, and we can thank Mr. Romney for working for such such impressive Americans like Brown. The image in Conservative circles simply doesn’t match reality, but the People understand the concept of power, something many Sideline Conservative Pundits forgot after 2004, as they emotively pushed a mantra of self destruction.
It is the Conservative Fashion, pushing for the pure ideal, which has grown astray. It is not that they are not correct in pushing for sound policy and better representation, just that they often lose sight of a constructive offering, making matters far worse by debasing their own interests. Of course, Mr. McCain and tiny few like him, gave the GOP a poor image. John McCain’s foolish empowerment of the Democrat folly has hurt all. But he is largely the exception. The Bush Administration was a sincere positive, and the Conservative Echo Chamber, made great mistakes childishly debasing their own interests after 2004.
Mrs. Malkin is wonderful, but playing this ‘conservative populism’ game, by vilifying the ‘establishment’ characters is beneath her. She is far brilliant enough to take on the misguided Mr. Frum without reverting to the ‘class warfare’ – pitching establishment distractions.
The fashion of today’s conservatism is grown to lose sight of reason, objectivity, basis, etc. Something the legendary WFB understood was essential. I am thankful folks in Virginia and New Jersey for example, understood the bigger picture. They did not throw temper tantrums about having the perfect ideal ‘image’, (as the Fred Heads of a short time ago), and went out to defeat the Democrats in some stunning upsets.
Let’s hope Mr. Brown and the voters send another message to this disastrous Pelosi – Reid – Obama – Clinton embarrassment which is making such a terrible mess for all.
Thanks to Mr. Romney and all who worked in the trenches for real sound ‘change’ in Virginia, New Jersey, and in the big race in MASS.
This administration is EXACTLY what conservatives needed to get energized. Obama’s speech on behalf of “Marcia” Coakley the other day was immature and boorish. What’s his beef against normal, hard-working, everyday Americans? Look back at his premature indictment of the police in MA, the campaign against Fox, marginalizing those who have spoken out against health care reform and now again showing up in his speech trying to minimize Scott Brown. This past year has been one long teachable moment which is when you marginalize your voter base, you do so at your own peril. As TO famously said, “Get your popcorn ready!”
Democrats are delusional and dishonest when playing its all Bush all the time for this Nations problems.The Executive and Legislative Branch is a Democract fifedom that goes behind closed doors and makes policies most Americans reject.Susequently. the voters of Massachusetts have a chance to end this charade of Bush bashing as a reason for goverance.
Yeah, but then again, she’s running for Senator of Massachusetts, not “Massachusettes,” so there we are.
I had my own take on retired Massachusetts educator Rosemary Kverek’s commentary on Boz’s working hours here. Her counting skills no doubt explain why Massachusetts leans so far “progressive.”
we really need to win this one,the suspense is gut wrenching.
BTW, Patrick Kennedy – her name is not “Marcia.” It’s Martha. LOL
I can hear Jan Brady now; “Martha! Martha! Martha!”
I’m beginning to think that blaming Bush for everything isn’t just a tactic for the moonbats. I think they honestly do believe that anything bad must be caused by some evil conservative or Republican. In their warped little minds, they’re convinced that their ideas will bring about a perfect world, because they just know they’re sooooo much smarter than everyone else.
The idea that something might go wrong with their plans is just not wired into their thinking. So if
MarcieMindyMookieMartha Coakley’s campaign is sinking faster than Ted Kennedy’s Oldsmobile, it can’t be that she’s a lousy candidate. There must be a villain from the right wing at fault.Exhibit A of that mindset has a desk in the Oval Office right now.
Here’s another example, that I noticed in Sunday’s Philly Inquirer. I’d say it’s time to play Spot The Idiot, but that’s too easy in this case. So let’s make it Spot the Fallacy:

Aside from the open support for AQ and the Taliban, did ya notice that when Obama launches drone attacks, they protest at Dick Cheney’s house? Because Duh-1 couldn’t possibly be to blame…it must be Cheney.
Proof positive that moonbats fell out of the Stupid Tree and hit every branch on the way down.
“Proof positive that moonbats fell out of the Stupid Tree and hit every branch on the way down.”
That wouldn’t be such a bad problem if they didn’t keep getting up and climbing the tree all over again every time they fell and hit every branch on the way down, GWR.
And thank also genii like Kverek (math problems) and Kennedy (doesn’t know his candidate’s first name). I’m not at all surprised by either comment, since one was educated in the government schools and the other the product of a rich man’s indoctrination program.
Great White Rat, !! I love the analogy of sinking faster than Ted Kennedy’s oldsmobile! Hahahaahahahaha! Let’s just hope she sinks for good. It is truly gut wrenching. I can hardly stand it. I believe that so much rests on this election.
