GOP Embraces McCain, Discards Bush

Bull shit!

[TXnMA]

"Republican President George W. Bush, widely derided for the unpopular Iraq war, ailing economy and soaring gas prices."

Yes, "widely derided" -- over and over, like a neverending drumbeat -- by YOU, Rooters, and the rest of the DAMNEDMSMDBMCNNABCBSNBCBSPBSMSNBCREUTERSMARXISTMEDIA!!!!!!!

Without the endless self-fulfilling prophecy/repetitive slandering of Bush by the libmedia, he would be "WIDELY ACCLAIMED" as the President who saved the U.S. from innumerable repeats of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Reuters, like all the media, is under the mistaken impression that the President is universally disliked. They make it sound like no Republican can win because he’s just going to drag them down. Isn’t is odd that they never mention that Congress has a lower job approval rating than the President, and it’s been controlled by Democrats for the last two years? Why wouldn’t the Democrat candidate be dragged down because of that?

"Republicans have a stake in McCain," said Stephen Hess, a congressional scholar at the Brookings Institution. "They hope he helps energize their party."

Right and move the GOP further to the Left so it becomes indistinguishable from the Dems. We don't need no stinkin' principles.

Right. I grudgingly tolerate McCain. I respect G.W., even when I disagree with him. I trust G.W. to do what he thinks is best, even if I don’t come to the same conclusion...the same is not true for McCain.
