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.
Comparing Bush and Palin would be like comparing apples and oranges.
Bush was POTUS for 8 years and made a number of bad decisions the specifics can be argued about, but what is fact is that he left office with the country in really bad shape in the hands of Obama and Pelosi. One of the worst things was the 'See you at the signing' episode after Pelosi took over the House in 2007. This is why we dont trust Perry.
Palin is completely different. She made believe she was running for POTUS, you both know the details. It was clear to me eaxctly what she was doing early this year or earlier. She did a few good things too the past two years, but the MAKE believe POTUS run makes her look phony. But she was not POTUS nor will she ever run for it.
The two are completely different situations.
