I think our “fellow conservatives” are precisely the ones who destroyed Bush, although I have always thought there were a lot of Dem trolls on the anti-Bush threads who revved up the old guys at their keyboards.
There were a lot of things Bush did that I didn’t agree with, because I thought he was intimidated by the Dem hostility over Iraq (which they initially supported) and then began sucking up to liberals.
But we have to remember that we can disagree with somebody on something...and then be able to present our positions and argue for them and make suggestions.
Instead, we had the anti-immigration idiots referring to “Jorge Bush” and offering absolutely no suggestions of their own except machine guns at the border, even though the biggest immigration problems we have had have been LEGAL immigrants from Muslim countries who hate us and are trying to destroy us.
So why didn’t these people offer their own suggestions? Because they are either Dem trolls, or they’re elderly keyboard kommandos without any suggestions.
If people want to attack a candidate’s positions, they should do that but have some idea of what would be their solution - and then be prepared to discuss it. Otherwise, this will be done entirely by other people, and believe me, nobody here (including me) is going to like it.
In short, the word is “grow up, people” (no matter how old you are).
Thank you!!!!!!!
You summed it up much better than I could have..my frustrations exactly. Talk arguments...I don’t need just large letters saying “he’s a RINO”..
\It also helps NOT TO SAY “I THINK I HEARD THAT....”
Give facts or resources.

Jorge Arbusto pushed amnesty even harder than did Juan McCain. He did a great disservice to this country. So of course he deserved to be lambasted for it.
Give credit where credit is due; by the same token, give criticism where criticism is due.
Jorge is to be applauded for backing a tax cut. He is to be criticized for being an amnesty pusher, a big government/big spender president, and plenty of other things.
We don’t need, and shouldn’t tolerate, more Bush/Dole/Bush-Bush/McCain nominees. They’re killing us. And people who back the failed policies of these CINOs (even if it is “their turn”) should be roundly called out.
