Why do conservatives only whine about the economy when a democrat is in office?

Because they keep watching Fox News. And with conservatives you can tell them the truth all day but they won't listen.

Look at Bush - in office eight years and he blamed Clinton and even his own dad for our current economic mess. Wihch also illiustrates the point that conservatives don't take accountability for any mistakes.

I was complaining Bush and the Republican Congress was spending like a bunch of drunken liberals on shore leave before Hussein was a glimmer on the teleprompters shine.

maybe Obama should not have promised less than 8% unemployment if his stimulus is passed then he would not have opened himself up to the huge wave of dissent that is about to come down on him

You would be pretty dumb not to whine about the economy - there's plenty to whine about, at the moment it's in one big huge sorry mess. Who said it was all Obama's fault, by the way?

If people criticized their own party when it does the same thing, they would probably leave it.

Well he's sure "spreading our wealth around" in overdrive!

The same reason liberals blasted Bush the entire time he was in office. The Democrats didn't approve of the way things were handled; now, the Republicans don't approve of the way things are being run. Basic ideological differences. Also, though, the economy now is worse than it was when Bush took office. Take that however you like, but there is more to whine about now than there was eight years ago.
