Any further demands?

[OldFriend]

I guess you weren't here during Reagan's term.

[Liberty Valance]

When he is gone, we will miss him dearly. He does not have long enough to win the war on terror, but the wrong man could already have lost it.

Bump!

[joesnuffy]

Yep compared to what we will get next...no doubt about it
we will miss him...

And I thought "hero worship" was frowned upon around here. Isn't it funny how some have very selective memories?

You poor, poor little man. You sound just like a flaming lib.


You can't see the bigger picture for all your petty snipes. And calling Bush a "failure", in reality probably describes you to a tee.


Well, by focussing on the fight against terror, Bush is saving our country, our freedom and our strong economy all at once, and your sorry ass still gets to benefit despite your worst thoughts of him.

You little, pitiful, ingrate.

excerpt
"Bush understands that we face the same stakes in our confrontation with global Islamofascism. Though he has never said it quite so well, Bush’s determination that…”that nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal shall not perish from the earth” is why this great, and occasionally flawed man will be remembered as one of the greatest presidents in our history."

Excellent article. Thank you for posting it.

Duck and cover there Frank, for the incoming Bot swarm! Blackbird

Any further demands?

Equivalent Exchange, my oldFRiend: they ask for our votes to become our national leaders and then take/spend our tax dollars, so we should indeed DEMAND they lead the way we want them to.

[DrDeb]

Thank you for the ping! EXCELLENT ANALYSIS!

Excellent article. Reagan and Bush are both great presidents in our times. God help us if we get another clintoon goof-off in the White House.

Hey........when you say something really stupid, you deserve whatever you get coming your way, Blackbird.

And saying that there's no difference between President Bush and a Democrat is beyond stupid.

[wagglebee]

As bad as Klintoon was, I think Gore or sKerry would have been far worse.

[ohioWfan]

There are those on this forum so dense that they don't think it makes any difference if we get another debauched, corrupt President, tioga.

And they actually call themselves 'conservatives.'

[onyx]

Yes, but I suspect the greater number of them are really democrat disruptors, no matter how loud they cry foul.

[ohioWfan]

Who's 'we?' President Bush has an exceedingly high approval rating among Republicans.

It would seem that 'we' (i.e. the people who elected him) are pleased with the way he's governing.

[DrDeb]

Question: Which president ran the highest deficit as percentage of GDP since FDR?!

You guessed it -- Ronald Reagan.

Reagan hit a record -6.0% in 1983 (with a Republican Senate and 'cold' vs 'hot' war). The highest it has been under GWB is -3.6% (with a 'hot war'/a recessive economy (thanks to Clinton)/business scandals that impacted the stock market (again thanks to Clinton)/a global energy crisis/devastating natural disasters, and so on, and on, and on.)
[*WAIS Document Retrieval]

We could continue this tit for tat ad nauseum -- what's the point?

Both Reagan and GWB were/are pragmatic incrementalists -- Reagan did what he had to do to win the Cold War and GWB is doing what he has to do to win our War against Islamofascism!!

I have given up trying to distinguish the 'purists' from the trolls, onyx.

They think exactly alike, use exactly the same words, and there is no way to tell who's who....
