zulu, there are some things that you cannot control and have go your way.
My point with the post about beating the dead horse is that your derangement towards George W Bush seems to be on every positve Bush thread I have ever seen. While there are things I didn’t like about his stay in the Oval office, I liked it entirely better than Clinton, or Obama (so far). You appear to prefer those two.
How about leading the way to a freerepublic pardon of W so that we can direct our energies to strengthening our country?
The very REASON I have an issue with GWB is BECAUSE his administration's actions and in-actions helped put the lying impostor, closet Muslim and socialist in the Oval Office.
Obama is the worst nightmare to ever hit America. He is so bad he makes Clinton look benevolent. The Democrat congressional victories in 2006 and 2008 AMPLIFY the negative impact of his administration.
You want me to “pardon” Bush. You give me too much credit.
I'm not the only person to criticize him.
But if we lost in 2006 and 2008, we must have lost for a reason. To preclude future loses, we need to understand the problem. I don't think it is with the basic message of the GOP as understood by most of its constituents. I think the problem lies with the GOP party leadership and their continuing failure to talk the talk but not walk the walk.
The “moderate” wing of the GOP is blaming the party for being “too conservative”. I feel it has been diametrically opposite and THAT is part of its problem - the gap between the promise and the delivery.
What do you think?
