Blameocracy (blame + democracy); Blameocrat (blame + bureaucrat)

A “blameocracy” (blame + democracy) is when one political party blames another political party for seemingly all of the country’s problems, or when a president blames the previous presidential administration for all of the problems. A political official in a “blameocracy” is a “blameocrat” (blame + bureaucrat). Blame is assigned to everyone and everything—except the “blameocrat.”
 
“Blameocrat” has been cited in print since at least November 2000 and “blameocracy” has been cited in print since at least October 2005. Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh did an extensive “Obama Blames…” August 8, 2011 segment of media headlines, although the terms “blameocracy” and “blameocrat” weren’t used.

Oh, ok, you’re a Blameocrat—no surprise, since I’ve not seen any Democrats who AREN’T trying to blame Nader for Gore’s astonishing failure to win a victory over a talking potato like Bush, even with the tremendous advantages he had.

I’m not removing responsibility from the “stud” owners, but adding in the idea of American Blameocracy.

I’m tired of the media and the blameocracy
In light of recent events at VA tech, I’ve discovered that an old hatred of mine for the media and the blameocracy of our culture has resurfaced.

In my opinion, this is horrible news. Our society is growing more into a humorless blameocracy every day.

100% behind the economic meltdown, folks, and the blameocrats are 100% behind the problem!
Set your politics aside and consider these facts:
The State of Sonora is angry at Influx of Mexicans into Mexico from the United States!

Yup. The Blameocrats. I am just surprised that they didn’t try and somehow pin this on Bush and Cheney or Rush Limbaugh.

We don’t have a democracy, we have a blameocracy. The entire goverment is a failure and we just blame the other party. The whole world is peeing their pants laughing at us!
