George W Bush was a more conservative president than Ronald Reagan, who I love. It's clear we are never going to agree about GWB, and thats fine. It is what it is. My issue is the constant hate-filled attacks using leftist lies. Not legitimate criticism that we can debate, but the lies of America hating scumbags such as Michael Moore and code pinko. When FR sounds like DU and other commie sites from last decade, well there's a big problem.

What has the wars under Bush gotten us? Well, how many times have we been attacked on American soil after 9/11 when Bush was president? Is that not the most important thing? To prevent further attacks? Bin Laden is dead. Why? Because we caught a guy who led us to him. Where did we capture said guy? Iraq. Saddam Hussein is no longer stockpiling and developing wmds. He is no longer supporting terrorists. He is no longer attacking our planes. He is no longer threatening us. We basically wiped out Al queda because Iraq served as as a roach motel for terrorists after Saddam was removed. We fought them over there, not here. That was the plan right? America is safer because we took action.

One more note, if you were anti-Bush and against the wars all along, you are part of a very small minority of Republicans and conservatives. My remarks are mostly targeted towards those who have embraced the lies they once fought against.

George W. Bush was a disappointment in some areas and made his share of mistakes, but he was a whole lot better than having Gore or Kerry as President. Just in terms of the Supreme Court--he gave us one solid conservative and one wishy-washy conservative (who only abandons the Constitution when it really matters), whereas Gore or Kerry would have given us two hard-line leftists like Obama and Biden chose, and we would now have a leftist majority on the Court. I think Bush wanted to do the right thing but wasn't enough of a fighter--Trump showed us what someone with real courage could accomplish.

I don't think wanting to get revenge for Saddam trying to kill his father was a significant factor in his decision to invade Iraq. Any serious President (that is, excluding people like Clinton, Obama or Biden) weighs seriously the consequences of sending troops into harm's way.

Unfortunately I don't think GWB will get over Trump humiliating his brother in 2016, but he has zero political power and virtually no political influence at this point, so it doesn't really matter (other than hurting his nephew's political fortunes).
