Commenter Walt has graciously allowed me to share a comment he left under this post.
I wanted to put it up because he has made these points before under a number of different posts, but finally expressed them all in one Big Special Comment.
Anyone with this much feeling who consistently represents so many other TPC readers finally deserves to be heard right out loud.
Thank you, Walt.

The problem I have with these repubs that come in here spouting off about what is wrong with our government and they know how to fix it is, where were they during the Bush years?
How come it took the election of a Democratic president to unleash their anger? I mean what do you call Cheney's secret meetings with the fossil fuel companies early on before 9/11 and the wars they started?
Where were they when Bush was giving tax cuts to the rich without ever paying for the wars?
Where were the Repubs when the Republicans in power were turning our tax pay into an ATM machine for big corporations and private contractors?
Where were the Repubs when Bush was getting warned about an attack by terrorists and wouldn't even see his terrorist czar? 9/11 happened on his watch. Where was the anger then?
Where were the Repubs while the Bush administration was compiling the greatest debt this country has ever seen? They were listening to FAUX Noise playing the fear card daily or they were listening to Limbaugh, or Hannity, or Savage, or Levin, etc. demonize the liberals.
And now they want to say they are the independents and the wise ones when all I see is a bunch of marionettes still being controlled by their puppet masters who will lead them down the wrong road, yet again.
Yeah, our government is a mess and the Democrats are part of the blame.
But one year in power and they are to blame for this mess? That is hypocrisy on the highest level.
Government is not the problem. It is the money controlling the government that is the problem. And the ruling the other day by the Republican appointed Supreme Court Justices will only allow big corporate (including foreign) and the big Banks to control our government even more.
As Benito Mussolini, the fascist dictator said, “Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power”
So anytime you Repubs come in here trying to defend yourself you won't get any respect here until you atone for your sins. Only then can we come together and fight the real enemy.
