I am too tired to do so but I will say all you Bush haters sound like Democrats to me
It ain’t worth trying to defend Bush here, but I appreciate you. Bush is the only Republican president I have had in my adult life.
I don't think there's so much hatred of the Bush's on FR. It's more like a deep and abiding disappointment that goes down to the bones of conservatives.
So many of us pinned so much hope on George W, and he fell short time and time again. Most of us never wanted to believe that he was a moderate squish who felt comfortable forwarding an agenda that was more Democrat than Republican, but his record shows that's exactly what he was.
Try to understand that quite a few people feel betrayed by him.
The bush clan are frauds -- neo-statists pretending to be Conservative.
Let's see a little of their history: the ADA, read my lips, No new taxes (then goes on to raise them), rapid expansion of Head Start; Medicare Part-D, No Child Left Behind (bush let kennedy write the entire bill), bloated highway bills; TARP (destroy the Free Market to save it); ethanol subsidies, expansion of the EPA, hard push for Amnesty in early 07,and so on...
Does anyone think a true Constitutional loving Conservative propose any of those Republic destroying programs?
The bush clan has clearly shown that they worship at the Alter of State Power.
I am too tired to do so but I will say all you Bush lovers sound like Low Information Voters to me.
