What I've learned for the last 20 years:

  • Blame the other guy when things go wrong.
  • Praise your choice of politician when things go right.
  • Forget everything that happen for the previous 4 to 8 years.

Rinse and repeat.

Somehow people hated the guts of Nixon, yet they voted Reagan. (And now they adore him) Somehow people hated the guts of Reagan, yet they voted Bush. Somehow people hated the guts of Bush, yet they voted W.

Rinse and repeat.
