This would be too funny if it wasn’t also pathetic. Democratic candidates are still sticking to the anti-Bush script from 2006 and 2008.
Democratic candidates adopt anti-Bush strategy
WASHINGTON — Many Democratic candidates are planning to run against two Republicans in the next election — their GOP opponent and former president George W. Bush.When former U.S. attorney Chris Christie, a Bush appointee, won the Republican nomination for governor of New Jersey last week, Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine welcomed him to the race by attacking his former boss.
“I’m not about to put my trust in the same people who gave us George W. Bush, Dick Cheney or John Ashcroft,” Corzine said, throwing in Bush’s vice president and first attorney general for good measure.
The Corzine-Christie contest is this November. Other Democratic candidates will likely bash Bush throughout the 2010 election season, predicts Stuart Rothenberg, publisher of a non-partisan political newsletter. “You’ll hear Democrats say, President Obama is still trying to clean up the mess of the Bush years,” he says.
Bush is gone and I hope this strategy doesn’t work. The sad part is that there is a chance it might work since Bush is hated by the majority of the population. The Republicans should remind people that Bush is gone and not coming back.
