To keep in theme, Republican Congressmen are also PUNKS because they refuse to fight the Democrats. They want to be liked. Maybe a better definition is PUSSIES. You decide on the term. I just think they are all, from Bush down, a bunch of self-serving self-agrandizing bought turncoats. I could probably name the Constitutionalist members on one hand.
So, the Bush legacy is what? You tell me if you don't agree with my word.
If there is one genuine Constitutionalist in Congress it would surprise me.

When you consider McCain always voted with the rats, along with a few of his RMP buddies when necessary, on all things ANWR, the President didn't enjoy much of a "republican" majority of CONgress.
Again, the 109th and the 108th were the prime target sessions. The House did some good work, only to be shot down by the limp wristed sInate!
How ALL the failures are President Bush's fault remain a mystery to me.
Not in today's political climate. A filibuster proof 60 is the majority not 51.
The government is made up of weakling republicans and little whining democrat ninnies. Both need an endless supply of kneepads so they don’t wear out their knees sucking up to the special interest groups. Real Americans don’t have representation in this corrupt government.
