You right wing libertarian conservatives have had your chance in the last 14 years. Now it's time for the meaningful socialists to take over and fix the problems that you have created.

Boy oh boy! The above conflates so many different things that it's tough to even know where to begin.
I'll simply observe that "right-wing libertarian conservative" is an oxymoron. Bush and crew were certainly "right-wing." They may or may not have been conservative (depending on your definition). They bear absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to "libertarian," though. Violating civil rights left and right, imprisoning folks without trial, foreign military adventures, etc. etc.
ad nausem -- let's just say that the vast majority of what the Bush administration did is utterly incompatible with any definition of "libertarian" (small l or Large L) that I've ever heard.
