I still view this fact as one of the principal failings of the conservative movement:
The willingness to defend Reagan but adamant refusal to defend bush
Bush tax cuts cost nothing.
In fact they yielded the largest revenue results in us history.
Bush reduced the deficit by more than half prior to demc control of congress
Bush saved the auto industry not Obama and required funds to be paid back. Obama required bankruptcy of automakers just as Romney suggested.
Bush’s alleged failings are dwarfed by the failings of Reagan yet there is no grace.
Much of the current problems in defending the Romney tax plan is the failure to defend bush.
Perhaps if Bush had defended himself others may have backed him up.
