First of all, all Democrats must stop addressing the Bush "spin" talking points. Republicans are (very successfully) spinning attention AWAY FROM Bush by using these statements..."let's NOT play the blame game....now is not the time to point fingers".... Oh, really.
Journalists, MSM, political cartoonists, Republican strategists, AND unfortunately even some Democrats have become WILLINGLY entangled in this Republican web of verbal deception. If we are not allowed to "play the blame game" NOW, and we are not allowed to "point fingers" NOW, the strategists have successfully, again, sheltered the weak, clueless, impotent leader we now call the President.
Democrats must...MUST...bring the discussion under their control. Talk about "accountability". Talk about American values, and how parents strive to teach their children that mistakes MUST be addressed IMMEDIATELY...or the mistakes may be repeated. Discuss what George Santayana said, "Those who fail to learn from history, are destined to repeat it." America does NOT want to repeat this horrible example of incompetence....therefore we must discuss, analyze, and correct our mistakes. So, never again will our nation be caught so unprepared. This is NOT a difficult concept.
All Democrats need to STOP discussing this deflective tactic as if it has legitimacy. It does not. We NEED TO KNOW what went wrong....and we NEED TO KNOW who is responsible!
Accountability....yes, ACCOUNTABILITY is the name of THIS game.
