Bush decided long ago not to defend Conservatism. Why should we (Conservatives) lift a finger to defend him?

I agree.
Bush is awful. We’ve been electorally slaughtered twice in a row because he’s so lousy. The Bots can worship him if they want on the “Day in the life” threads. I won’t do it.
Please focus you anger on Obama who ordered out the Missouri Truth Squads instead of attacking Bush. More effective energy was needed attacking Pelosie, Reid and Obama than Romney, Giuliani etc. How many wonderful FReepers did we lose earlier this year because of misplaced venom? It would have behooved us to bite our enemies instead of our friends and allies.
I'm convinced if there had been anyone else but John "The Snake" Kerry running against him in 04, chances are pretty good he would NOT had been re-elected.
I know that I am not alone in admitting that I voted AGAINST Kerry as opposed to FOR Bush.
While he continues to use the excuse that he will not sully the majesty of the Office of the Presidency to defend himself (OR we conservatives)--PROBABLY BECAUSE HE IS NOT ONE OF US TO BEGIN WITH--he defeats his own argument.
The Office of POTUS is NOT a magisterial position. It was meant to be occupied by ordinary Americans.
Thus by elevating "it" to such a high status, W is has in fact, made it so, by his unwillingness to not only defend himself, but his Party.
I love him as a man, but can't stand [most] of what he has done over the past 7 1/2 years.
He certainly has NOT been a leader for Conservatives, much less Republicans.
His continued (McCain-like) tendencies to get hit up side the head by DemoRats (OVER AN OVER AND OVER) and turn the other cheek and offer them a place at the table and reach out and work hand-in-hand with them, leave me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Because he chose to defent the nation a$$munch
Because God expects us to. HE put Bush in as president and way too many people bashed him but wouldn’t pray for him. I plan to pray for President Obama even though I despise what he stands for. God is still in control, my FRiend, whether we like it or not.
