One would wonder.
I know you wouldn't, but don't bother answering.
How did you know it would "go south"? And is it the "Bush economy" now? Were Bush's spending, taxing and borrowing policies responsible? Is the size of the government under Bush a contributing factor?
Or is it the fault of others? Clinton? Obama? Misc.?
After reading the spin on how the election was stolen, the American people deprived of the information they needed to make an intelligent decision, I think the Conservative responses to these questions would be even more fantastic than the answers which come to mind.
