GWB was not that popular even in 2004 but Kerry was an idiot. Republicans had a great convention show including clips of Reagan funeral , and the Swift Boat Veterans for truth showed Kerry as the fake he was. GWB second term was a disaster, he even tried to screw up supreme court with Harriet Meyers. Except Alito and Roberts looking back maybe having that idiot Kerry make the D party look bad would have been better than this.
If they have a "god" that is different from our God, then you're saying that there are more gods than one. There are not. It is the faiths that are different, not God. Do not confuse religion and God. They are not the same thing.
At the time I would have blown a gasket if Kerry had won Ohio and thus the election despite losing the popular vote.
I believe GOP would have made gains in 2006 and in 2008 Kerry would’ve been out on his butt. Unfortunately our new President might have ended up being McLame but hopefully some better people would’ve run in the better political climate. There would still be a GOP Congress and the Obamamania would have been forestalled until 2012.
The 2 Court seats would’ve been the only negative. Hopefully O’Connor would have stayed or one of both them would’ve quit right after the election to allow Bush to replace them. Although the Senate rats might have filibustered such an action.
At the time I was for Harriet Meyers, she seemed fine to me. In retrospect it was a real boneheaded play. And since she’s so close to Bush it’s doubtful she’s a real conservative.
George Bush, the man, is a decent and good man of success. George Bush, the president, is an abysmal failure who has not secured any peace for this nation let alone won any war!

A$$hole!
Yes some of them HERE obviously hate the man.
If you aren’t among them then my factual statement doesn’t include you.
It is also factual that a boatload of conservatives stayed home, which is their right to do.
Of course Sarah Palin helped very many to turn out who would have otherwise stayed home or just simply not marked a presidential selection or alternatively, written in a name. Without her the loss would have been much worse.
I don’t know what the problem is with what I wrote.
It wasn’t about blaming anyone for the loss.
It was about Bush hatred by both Leftists and conservatives and my comments regarding that particular thing.
I profoundly disagree with him on several issues. I note where he’s done some good, conservative things...while reminding he didn’t run as a conservative but as a “compassionate conservative”...major difference.
This article was about unreasoning Leftist hatred, and I said some conservatives exhibit same.
A poster even argued it was appropriate literally to HATE him for areas he’s differed with us on. That was an example of what I was saying. DUH.
So be it (conservative Bush hatred) you say, even though you’re not among the haters.
Okay...

Bush’s 2000 Tax-Cut Promises , President Made Good On Tax-Cut Promise, But Critics Cry Deficit - CBS News

You know, you are funny.
Congressional Republicans wrote the tax cut bill, not Bush?? Why, how can this be?? I thought every President wrote Congressional bills...
/sarcasm
Back to truth and reality...
As if we needed reminding of that which we remember so well...
Bush built his 2000 Campaign around the proposal to cut taxes across the board by 1.3 trillion.
I remember Ann Richards warning the Dems that Bush was like a machine mentioning tax cuts every other word and they’d better not take it lightly.
Mentioning his issues every other word is what got him elected Gov. of Texas and sent Ma Richards back home, so she should know.
I shouldn’t bother, but the two links I provide document the reporting even by Libs that Bush both ran on, and delivered, massive tax cuts.
Then they turn around and try to blame his tax cuts for the deficit.
Thank God you Texans are taking back this clown in a couple of weeks.
