Who deserves ALL the blame for ALL of our country's woes?

In a country whose Primary Creed is "of, for and by the people", wouldn't that make our country's woes the American people's fault?

Hey! Don't blame me, I voted for McCain.

Well Trickle down economics didn't work for Bush, Reagan or Bush. So the answer is Bush and his Republican friends as well as all those who voted for him. I guess in a battle between economics, religion and anti-abortion as well as guns. Religion and guns won. It was a straw victory. Abortions are still legal. And what an expensive lesson it was.

What's really sad is how all these people professed such an overwhelming love for the country and looking at results I don't see a whole lot of love. Even now Republicans fail to accept responsibility blaming Clinton and even Carter. Carter hasn't been around for more than 20 years. That takes a lot of balls.

Well, if the PEOPLE could learn to spend more wisely and learn to save, if they would elect good leaders for a change, then there wouldnt be many problems. The people deserve every bit of the blame. Its their responsibility to select good government officials. If a government official gets in there and abuses his power, thats nobody's fault but the people who elected him to that office. They should have voted for a better man.

No one individual deserves all the blame. It is somewhat surprising however that the Republican Party which is supposedly the party of "personal responsibility" seems to try to avoid responsibility for anything. They were taking credit when they perceived things to be going well.

To some extent we are all responsible. Some of us are responsible for not yelling loud enough and others for refusing to listen at all.
