Bush 04 with retrospect?

I'd want Bush to get the blame for the financial crisis and resulting Great Recession so that a Democrat will be elected in 2008 and possibly 2012 and 2016. If Kerry won in 2004, we'd possibly be looking at a Republican President and Congress right now and possibly for a very long time nonstop.

Right, so you'd put the country through four more years of Bush hell because you wanted that to result in four-eight years of Obama hell. Great.

I'd prefer Kerry as the scape-goat...

I was previously wondering why you wouldn't have backed McGovern in '84...

Bush 04 with retrospect?

I'd want Bush to get the blame for the financial crisis and resulting Great Recession so that a Democrat will be elected in 2008 and possibly 2012 and 2016. If Kerry won in 2004, we'd possibly be looking at a Republican President and Congress right now and possibly for a very long time nonstop.

So you acknowledge that the economic problems were not caused by Bush or Republicans, but simply were going to happen at that time regardless due to te nature of the mixed market?

The economic problems were going to occur during this time no matter what. However, it was the Republicans' idea to get the Glass-Steagall Act repealed in 1999 (even though Democrats nearly unanimously agreed to it) and it was a Republican Fed Chair (Greenspan) that kept interest rates too low for too long (in order to get Bush reelected). Thus it is mostly (though not completely) the Republicans' fault that the crisis happened, even though I'm very sure that the crisis would have occured anyway if either Gore or Kerry defeated Bush.

Yes, actually, I was curious at why you didn't vote for FDR in 1940 and 1944; As you are voting in retrospect.

I wouldn't vote for FDR in 1940 and 1944 because Wilkie was going to take the U.S. into WWII anyway after Pearl Harbor (and thus the Great  Depression would have still ended in the early 1940s), and FDR passed very little of his New Deal between 1941 and 1945, and even Truman (afterwards) passed very little new initiatives in domestic policy (I think the National Housing Act of 1949 was the major exception). I think that Wilkie and Dewey might have been tougher on the Soviet Union than Roosevelt was and thus allow the U.S. to enter the Cold War in a much more advantageous position. Also, Wilkie and Dewey were comparatively moderate on domestic/economic policy, so that was little to lose in that regard. Finally, I would oppose having a President serve for more than two terms, even though this is a little factor for why I would have supported Wilkie and Dewey over FDR.

Rather interesting that the only two Democrats you vote for in this period are the ones I wouldn't vote for.

I hate Bible-basher Ike and gold hating crook Nixon too much to ever consider voting for them.

And you take the racist Stevenson/Kefauver ticket?

What? I don't even........

Why would you have voted for Nader in 2000? Gore was going to continue Clinton's policies, and you would have voted for Clinton twice.
