You can make a sweeping generalization about anything if you ignore enough detail and complexity. Here, watch this:

Of course conservatives have to account for the past failures of the applications of conservatism. You guys wiggle all you want but regardless of how moderate those presidents were their economic theory was fiscal conservatism. They both did nothing but fuck up the country except where they integrated liberalism heavily like in the establishment of the EPA.
See now isn't that just retarded? Detail and nuance matters.

Hey I agree the morons who voted for those people are accountable as are the establishment conservatives who allowed Trotskyites to hijack their party because they bought into a conservative branding scheme. What does that have to do with a proven failure of an economic theory like socialism?
You are saying that people ran under the premise of implementing fiscal conservatism but its easily shown that they did not implement those policies where as the soviets and other socialist systems did implement socialism and it lead to the corruption you use as an excuse for their undoing because long term socialism isnt a viable system.
