Everyone on Free Republic put him up on a pedestal and loved him big time as President. Wow.....we were really stupid.
Some of us began to see the light after he made that sharp left turn after the 2004 election. That was when he really started pushing for amnesty, etc. Some of us were pointing out that the economy was starting to collapse during his presidency. The stalwarts were blaming Clinton, not Bush, even in 2006-2008. They ignored the bailouts that started under GW.
But, some of us had fun rattling the chains of the bushbots. Just the mear posting the term 'bushbot' sent them into hysterics -- resembling those of the Dembots/Obamabots/Hillarybots of today.
