The first Bush was elected Vice-President in 1980. For 28 years we have had either a Bush or a Clinton at the top. McCain was Bush's pick for president. When McCain was finished financially, Bush introduced McCain to his top supporters and gave McCain access to his mailing lists.
McCain never hid his contempt for conservatives, but they were willing to vote for him to prevent a bomber's friend from becoming president. Many think McCain would have won except for the manufactured financial meltdown. Revulsion was almost universal about the immediate response of President Bush, Treasury Secretary (Goldman Sachs vet) Paulson, and Congress - to bailout the criminals who created the mortgage crisis.
This rush to give financial incompetents and crooks $700 billion+ was far too much to be accepted by voters who were fighting to save their homes, to keep their credit available, and to maintain an income with so many industries failing.
The financial crisis will deepen with the new Congress and President. We need another Reagan.
