For the sake of clarity and for the record, this "Uber Conservative" has not denied accomplishments by members of the Democratic Party. For example, they accomplished passing the Farm Bill. It is just that the Farm Bill is not really a "farm" bill, it is a welfare bill. It supports poor people needing food assistance and wealthy farmers. The bill has unintended consequences including driving up food costs and is inconsistent with the stated goals of Party leaders. This "Uber Conservative" was critical of Bush's and Republican support of the previous bill and will be if Bush signs the current bill. Many of the "accomplishments" you often point to have real and legitimate objections. Heaven forbid, anyone challenge something supported by Democrats, question their motives, our ask them to reconcile their rhetoric with their actions. Those questions are considered offensive and go unanswered.
I have been consistently pointing to rhetoric that can not be reconciled with actions from Democrats. Seems the knee jerk response is - well we had to do it, or, we were forced to to do it, or, those mean old Republicans made us do it. And let's not forget, the "Uber Liberal" response - Bush lied, therefore...
Again, I get it. I think I will post something else showing how Democrats say one thing and do another - see the Countrywide thread if interested.

Care to elaborate? Host's position is clear, Bush lied, therefore...what? If I believe a person is a lier, I don't believe them...ever. I never act on what they say...ever. I always do my own homework. Saying Bush lied over and over is B.S. Perhaps you can say it once.
Then we have DC, well we did not do A, B, and C but we did E, F and G. Oh, the A, B, and C things are the most important issues of the day. But we will just complain about A, B and C. O.k., maybe I don't get it. If you can elaborate I will listen.
