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?
ZULU, in my opinion there is one main problem with government today. It’s true all the way from DC to your local city council. We the people are not represented.
Both established democrats and established republicans benefit from having people like you, me and the democrat down the street arguing with each other. The three of us will never be represented, the more we argue, the more entrenched they become. Any newcomers that want to represent us will be blackballed for not greasing the right palms. So we end up with issue-pandering over meaningful action. We end up with legacy preservation, over leadership.
Name one politician that is more interested in the people he represents than his own political empire and I’d bet that person has a dead political future. It puts the “ruling class” at risk.
I am of the opinion that we will need to join forces with other citizens of other political persuasions to break the cycle. If the citizenry rises together, reform is possible. If not, we will simply fight with each other and strengthen the status quo of backscratching, in-the-know, politics.
In other words, we’re doomed.

Total BS!
Sheeple swooning over the 1st bi-racial candidate, 24/7 media demeaning, mocking and personally assailing the characters and motives of Pres. Bush and VP Cheney et al with THE most despicable personal attacks ever, an hyper-partisan obstructionist Congress, and a mostly uninformed and indifferent electorate just craving ‘change,’ and pubbies who thought withholding their vote or PUNISHING the GOP would actually help.
Talk about fantasy world.
