Bush was a disaster that the Republicans and America in general are a long ways from recovering from. His failure to stop illegal immigration alone should be the end of the discussion, all but assuring the death of the GOP and really all hope for restoring republican government by demographics. He destroyed any credibility the GOP might aspire to have on deficits.
His signature on the TARP bailout renders Republican claims to standing for free market accountability as just irrelevant prattle, not to mention that he should’ve stepped in to reign in Fannie and Freddie years earlier. Though I certainly shed no tears for Mullah Omar and Saddam, he committed the U.S. to exactly the kind of foolish nation-building that he campaigned against, and that inevitably results in failure amid massive losses of blood and treasure, especially when attempted in any past of the world under the sway of Mohammad. He never met a freedom he wasn’t willing to sacrifice for “security”.
The best that can be said for him is that he kept Gore and Kerry out of the Oval Office, which I suppose is no small thing.
Who in the house or senate supported securing our borders. Only Gov. Brewer of Arizona has taken measures to do so.

His refusal to enforce immigration law certainly guaranteed that California will permanently be a fortress for the Democrat left. And what starts here eventually spreads to the rest of you.
Apparently the oath he took to enforce our laws was something he regarded as optional.
