The abandonment of George W. Bush

Yep, the spineless idiots in congress, including more than a few GOPers may well "abandon" the President. He is better off without the ankle biting sissies anyway, IMO.

[peyton randolph]

The Great Boneless Wonder being abandoned by the lesser boneless wonders.

Why should that come as a surprise?

Empty platitudes do not a conservative leader make.

[Howlin]

abandoned by even most of his own party's members

Sorry; Brit had a poll last ween that proved that 2/3 of Republicans STILL support George W. Bush.

I am more than glad to stand with this man.

[SF Republican]

I liked President Fords take when he said "When I was in Congress I could not believe the President was so dictatorial, when President, I could not believe Congress could be so irresponsible."

[Howlin]

The congressional GOPers abandoned him long ago.

[rocksblues]

The MSM continuously mentions the word legacy. This word only applies to Democrats that failed to do anything during their presidency, IE Carter, Clinton.

[llevrok]

There is a vacuum of leadership in the national GOP. has been for a few years.

If some one doesn't stand up and lead soon, 2008 will be yet another loss as was 2006's elections.

[Vision]

I'll back Bush like he backed the border agents.

[pissant]

That would put you in the spineless category, with the Pelosis and hagels of the world. Enjoy.

[pissant]

The most consequential President since Reagan. And the stiffest spined one too.

[maxter]

The Republicans must change even if they do it kicking and screaming. They must stick to their principles regardless of the consequences. If they cannot or will not do it, then others must. Our very survival is at stake.

[Timmy]

I will abandon any who abandon him on Iraq. We have to win, no matter what it takes.

[pissant]

That's a great line!

[pissant]

Some have. There are still a few patriots roaming the halls of congress.

[stockpirate]

Some seem to be suprised that GW is giving in to the left in America.

I think it is more of a situation that he is coming home now to his roots.

[pissant]

Just like Reagan, Bush will have no need to polish his legacy. It will be self evident.

[fireforeffect]

Nah. You should not have responded to him. Now we will get a 100 line screed.

[Earthdweller]

"Sorry; Brit had a poll last ween that proved that 2/3 of Republicans STILL support George W. Bush."

Other polls last week showed 80%+ support from the GOP. This author is wishful thinking. LOL

[firebrand]

The opposite, really: Sticking with the policies he truly believes in has caused this plummet in popularity.

His greatest failing: McCain-Feingold, because he believed it to be wrong but signed it anyway for political reasons.

[pissant]

There is a leader. he is the president. But the rest of the GOP still frets everyday what the NY Times says about them.
