W ... saw "no need to defend (myself)" against criticism ...

And that horrible blunder, no doubt promoted by Rove, destroyed any chance the GOP had to defeat the communist currently occupying our White House.

As well presented by the author, by choosing this 'strategery', he also failed to defend conservatism, capitalism and the American way against the attacks of both the external Islamist supremacists and the internal socialists.

The only really good thing Bush did, apart from tax reductions, was kicking terrorist ass. No one was singing “Sweet Caroline” after 9-11, especially GWB.

It seems like the USA is up to its eyeballs in a deep alliance with the Saudis, seems no president can say otherwise

Yep. This philosophy was Bush’s worst trait. By far. A sitting president is essentially the CEO of the nation and the party and has an obligation to present a public argument to defend their decisions and policies. The Bush White House was negligent in staying silent or choosing not to fight some attacks that damaged the country and irreparably harmed the party in which he was chosen to represent.

I genuinely like George W, but this has made me so frustrated.

W made the correct choice, imho, not to ‘defend’ himself. It’s like arguing with fools.
As far as supporting Conservatism, he was never a conservative. He claimed to be a compassionate conservative. Of course he was very compassionate with other people’s money. That’s why I didn’t vote for him in 2000. I did grow to like the guy in time.

How did Bush’s failure to defend himself cause RINO McCain to lose?

One liberal who has learned to think for himself.

But the majority of liberals will go on refusing to accept reality even if it is staring them in the face.

Don’t get too excited, he’d more likely want to piss on the next Christian he sees than to want to hear the message of the Messiah...

First taxes, now Islam.

Maher may be evolving. He may turn out to be a Lib who got mugged — an applicant for NRA and the Tea Party.

[I still would not watch him. He is on the same level as David Letterman. I have never watched more than a few seconds of Letterman since he has been on late night. I don’t see either of them as funny.]

Bush was not much better then the current rodent in the White Hut, his drug benefit was the LARGEST transfer of wealth in the history of the world, let’s not forget his auto bailout and TARP, his support of amnesty, he and his dad destroyed the Reagan policies that RR had in place.

His dad, him and his brothers are nothing more the New World Order socialists just like Karl Rove......

Do not forget that the republicans in both house’s aided the democrats in the passage of Obamacare, “Death to Patients” act.

Thanks, and interesting that over on Lucianne, a site with many more estab type defenders, about half the folks are angry at this one. More understanding of the truth on FR than Lucianne IMO....
