Then you fall prey to one of the MSM's cleverest tricks...MSM opinion cloaked in really bad journalism. Few or no or unrelated direct quotes from the principal people and many quotes from "unnamed sources" who were "there".
Cheney’s book will tell the tale. It doesn’t matter much what the Washington Post thinks it’s going to say.
The fact is that Cheney, in his own book, will be quite critical of GWB's second-term decisions and rightly so. Like it or not, GWB lost his nerve under pressure and cut his anchor, condemning himself to drift aimlessly along in DC's leftist currents. He abandoned many conservative principles, not the least of which being the support of free market Capitalism, in a vain attempt for approval by the left and the media (but I repeat myself). Cheney knew, as do most Conservatives, that it's a fool's errand to seek the approval and support from leftists that will never, ever materialize no matter how much you try to appease them.
Please don't misunderstand: I'd take GWB over the Chicago Thug any day. But for supposed-conservatives to throw Cheney under the bus when the truth is so plain to see is the height of Bushbotism.
You didn’t understand my post. Big media doesn’t color my opinions. I lived through and followed events myself. I am fully capable of forming my own independent opinions. Mr Bush successfully protected the country. That is significant enough to call his a successful administration. In virtually all domestic policies he was a failure.
