My mind is trying to get around this reasoning - I'm trying to think how different it would've been had Gore been Pres. then - or Clinton - or Kerry.
Shudder...your logic escapes me. hmmm - I think I get it now. there are some who couldn't bring themselves to credit Bush with anything, no matter, and so turn it upside down. Yep, that must be it...
Nice try. That's quite easy and convenient, isn't it. Start naming all the non-9/11 related things that define Bush's legacy positively from a Conservative perspective.
And I'll take Alito off the table right now given that if Bush had had his druthers, it would have been Miers. So start there, when you're finished, then let me know.
As to the rest, yes, you missed my point completely. I did address those things however somewhere, sometime. And yes, you're off on it.
First off, what an asinine way to approach this. "Oh, you don't get to cite terrorism as a reason he's good." Talk about peggin the BS meter...OK, we'll talk about Reagan without talking about the Cold War, or talk about Lincoln without talking about the Civil War.
The prosecution of the WOT by itself is worth having him around.
Second...to point out just one area, he's the best pro-lifer we've had in office since Roe vs. Wade. Even better than Reagan. But then, we even have pro-lifers on this board who want to treat him like Satan.
