Buchanan, the ultimate nattering nabob of negativism.
Pat, I would hope you would resist the dark side and avoid the Vietnam mentality so prevalent on the left.
Bush did not campaign on SS reform. SS was hardly even a blip on the radar. It was after his election was safely secure that he advanced his current SS agenda.
I was going to read this, but got bored after the first few sentences. Too much hot air and not enough substance, again, from Pat.
Actually, no. The war is validated no matter the outcome. The long term results of his policies in the M.E., Iraq being one, is essential only in that success is necessary to provide the will to continue. Success provides successors the courage to continue to pro-actively protect America by spreading freedom.
and lost it, something no other president has ever done.
Ever hear of Vietnam?
An historic victory this was not.
Yet before he cites this...
For the second election in a row, George W. Bush increased his partys strength in Congress as he secured the second term his father failed to win. Not since FDR has a new president done so well by his party.
This isn't an historic victory? Buchanon would do well to consult the model Bush & Rove consulted for victory. the outcome matched it near exactly. Had they wished an electoral landslide, the model would have differed.
Yes he did. He also campaigned on it back in 2000--and back then it was a blip on the radar. Remember the "3% personal accounts" proposal?
The fulfilling of Bush's campaign promises--which are conservative in nature (a RINO wouldn't campaign on Social Security reform)--is the measure of his second term's success.

Agreed. The time for rhetoric and hand-waving is over. Bush's sucsess will be measured by WHAT HE DOES, not by what he says, or what anyone else says. He has all the tools to do it right, and leave a legacy that real Americans will appreciate and remember.
"As for the Bush guest-worker plan for illegal aliens, it is in trouble in the House, as he is condemned in his own party for refusing to secure Americas borders."
Oh so very true.
Pat is a good Christian man.
If hordes of illegal aliens (estimated at as much as 20 millions) are given amnesty with subsequent citizenship, this country's cultural heritage would be transformed from a Christian one to a Third World one.
yup.....not much campaigning on it.....Buchanan is still just bitter about not getting thru the primaries those couple of election trys..........his sister Bay is alot more thoughtful and supportive of Bush
Buchanan, the ultimate nattering nabob of negativism.
I never could figure him out. All I know is that he is often out there. Somtimes he's all over the outfield.
he sure has turned into one hasn't he....too bad he turned into what his old boss hated most
I don't know about you, but every damn liberal and conservative I know knew that Bush intended to privatize social security.
It may not have been the centerpiece of his campaign, but unlike kerry and gay marriage, he made it clear and plain where he stood and what his plans were.
If it was a blimp, that blimp was the size of the goodyear fleet.

Pat is trying so hard to stay relevant, but he doesn't realize people stopped caring about him in 1992.
"Bush's sucsess will be measured by WHAT HE DOES, not by what he says, or what anyone else says."
In effect what you're saying is that we should not trust Bush in what he says.
I think he says what he means and means what it says.
Bump
I guess your mostly right, but it would be a 3rd world version of a christian culture.
Most of the illegals are catholic, and pretty devout, and more pro-life then the population at large, yet still supporting dems.
Pat who?
The name sounds vaguely familiar, as does the idiotic, bitter rant. But I just can't quite place him...
