Star, I recall you asking me where I saw FReepers bash Bush.I’ll tell you what makes me sickened is the hypocrisy of some that think everyone to the slight left of Sarah Palin is a RINO. Yet Palin has yet to disavow saying she wanted to be Romney’s VP in 2012.I also remember Newt and Rudy bashing and now all of a sudden... they are okay.I have never liked Romney so I get calling him RINO...but I think a new name is needed other than RINO. The republican party is the DNC lite. SO RINO is a ridiculous notion.Possibly only DeMint is the only honest decent republican.
I didn’t say a damn thing about Sarah Palin or anyone else. I made a comment on one particular big government “Republican”. George W. Bush.
Tell me, if a democrat President signed pork-laden spending bills, coddled illegal aliens, bailed out automakers, fooled around in Iraq for years ignoring the fact that a troop surge was needed to win, expanded government powers, created the TSA ect ect ect. would you support that President?
Bush was not “slightly to the left” of an ideal conservative President, he was miles away.
Take away a handful of things like 2 conservative justices, Mexico city policy, sunsetted small tax cut, and a noble but poorly managed and unsuccessful attempt to deal with social security and you have a record that’s hard to distinguish from a democrat President.
He and our “leaders” in Congress who deserve just as much of the blame p*ssed away an historic opportunity for the Republican party to govern. Leftist polices fail.
