Just wondering...
Seems to me that before Soros manipulated the derivatives market to benefit his communist stooge, Obamugabe, Bush 43 gave us unemployment around 4.8% and a consistently strong and growing GDP.
So we should have just left Hitler in power once we expelled the Nazis from all of the countries they invaded?
No I believe in telling the TRUTH. Let’s get the truth in the timeframes 1989-1993 and 2001-2008. In my Opinion the Bushes have been a DISASTER for Conservatism and America.
Either Pres. or Gov. Bush could have saved Terrie Schiavo, but both were cowards. The only way their alternatives would have saved her would have been if Republicans had announced they wanted her husband to murder her, and then the Rats would have wanted to save her.
Alleged freepers can save the flames regarding what the Bushes “couldn’t” do.
They paved the way for a smooth transition to Socialism
Just imagine what might have happened to this country with presidents Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry. There would have been nothing left for Obama to steal or destroy.
There needs to be some clarity. Start with H.W. Bush.
In some ways, Reagan was like Frederick William I of Prussia in several ways, especially restoring the economy and building the military, along with relatively bloodlessly defeating the Soviet Union.

H.W. Bush, in this analogy, takes the role of Frederick (II) the Great in using this “Grande Armee” of Reagan in a way that will reverberate for a century. In this case with Gulf War I, and showing the world in a small way what would have happened in a US-Soviet conflict. Our military and tactics against theirs. The importance of this demonstration should not be forgotten.
In the process, it also stopped cold Saddam’s development of WMD, which he indeed had been developing, and smashed his apparatus for developing it.
One other H.W. Bush victory will never be recognized. He was a superb China scholar, and saw in the Tiananmen Square massacre and great opportunity, and took it, despite congress. After considerable delay, he continued to offer China ‘Most Favored Nation Trading Status’, but only in an exchange for something the Chinese had sworn they would never do. To sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Agreement.
W. Bush was equally competent with foreign policy, but failed miserably with domestic policy. His first domestic blunder was in attempting to use a presidential philosophy of the late 19th Century, that it should be the congress that runs the country, with the president just an executive and in charge of foreign policy.
Then, with 9-11, he not only “took the war to the enemy” in foreign lands, which was fine; but he turned the powerful forces of government inward against the citizenry, imagining legions of terrorists among us. And this was, and remains, a major disaster.
It will take decades to fully restore our rights and liberties because of this. Tragically most of it will not fail because of a popular or political revolt, but just because it is far too expensive to maintain.
George Bush loves this country and its soldiers!
Obama hates this country and despises its soldiers.
Our enemies knowing that if you f—k with us, we’ll kill a hundred thousand of you.
Wait, what? Wrong country? Oh well - you get the point.
Let’s be real. In our pop culture society, there was little chance McCain would beat Obama (or Romney for that matter.) We can’t blame that on Bush. As Rush put it on this last election, it is like running against Santa giving away free spaghetti and butter to Honey Boo Boo. People don’t care about a resume, they want to be popular and get free stuff.
I’ll say at least this for Bush: At least there was class in the White House.
What I couldn’t understand was why the R party (or Mr. Bush himself, or both) didn’t respond much to all the smears against him in 2006-07-08?
You can’t ignore mass-scale smear campaigns if you are planning to win any future political campaigns
barack h. obama and the end of America as we knew and loved it.
Absolutely!
That's plenty, in my book.
;-\
Think of Al Gore in the Oval office on 9/11....
1. I thought blaming Bush was a tactic of the current administration and its followers.
2. When was the last time the GOP won a presidential election without a Bush or a Nixon somewhere on the ticket?
3. What are Tricia and Julie doing?
A COMPLETE MESS.
