The kicking of the president began when he was re-eleted in 2004. Our right wing talkers constantly criticized, bashed, nothing this President could do was good enough.

They became the unappeasables, the perpetually offended. All the while adding to the President's burdens.

All so they could say, as I long ago predicted......I TOLD YOU SO.

If only the president listened to them, then all would be perfect.

Frankly, too many of them think the President is stupid and they don't mind telling us how much smarter they are.

I am ashamed of this place this week for the first time ever. Embarrassed in fact. I have spent YEARS convincing folks that THIS was not that face of the GOP. In my heart, I do not believe it is. But it has certainly become the face of FR.

I know for a fact, this attitude will guarantee we do not win another election for 40 years.

IMHO, the kicking of the President started with the contested election in 2000. The bile from the left started spewing then - they couldn't accept the fact that the clod Gore had lost.

Ever since then, they've tried to steal elections, all the while vilifying, ridiculing and insulting President Bush and undermining his every move.

One consolation is that President Reagan had to suffer these fools too - and he is now revered as the greatest President of the 20th century. Hopefully President Bush will go down in history as a man of courage and fortitude who stood fast against the Islamofascist threat to our civilization.

Of course. You are right with every statement, taking away the breathless hyperbole and distortions, such as the word "perfect" and "All so they could say...". Other than that, you are pretty accurate.

Am I supposed to be ashamed of being disgusted by the man who could be seen by any conscious American to be destroying the conservative movement? I'm not. You should be ashamed of supporting everything he did. He's not conservative, he's not liberal, he has no philosophy. And that's being kind.

I hate to correct you, but he was blasted from the get go in 2000 --- the election he swiped thanks to SCOTUS --- with only a brief intermission after 9/11.

It took 6 years for MSM in collusion with the democrat 'get him.'
