You know, I have a problem with this. If this is true, then why didn’t Bush defend himself when all this was going on? If this is true, this demrat “politics of personal destruction” gambit could have and should have been killed still born.
Even in the face of an incessant barrage of spurious attacks by the dems over the 8-year Bush administration, he just stood there, wrapped in the cloak of his “New Tone” nonsense, and virtually said nothing.
Maybe someday someone can make sense of it. I really don’t understand people who will not stand up for themselves. I come from a Philadelphia row home. If you touch me I guarantee I’ll touch you back in such a way that you’ll not be able or not want to get in my way again.
I hear ya. Good point. I am not persay defending Bush in this light but I recall the MSM at this time-frame having more respect than nowadays. (Specifically Dan Rather) as being one of the old school cronies. Therefore their spin was more so believed and any Bush defense was drowned out.
As well as, the liberals perfected demonizing Bush and making him out as stupid, the big bad boogey man of war-BTW there were WMD they were moved to Syria- so well... everyone fell for it.
I think W thought this stuff was way too far beneath him. Think about it. He was running the nation’s White House as it was intended (boy do I miss that) and stinking media lies were so abundant about the man. I believe he knew that someday all the truth would be revealed and it didn’t matter to him whether it was on earth, or before the Judgment Seat of the Almighty, who will one day say, “Well done.”
“I really don’t understand people who will not stand up for themselves.”
27:12 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. (27:12-14) “He answered him to never a word.”
27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
27:14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
Sometimes the mere act of answering a question legimitizes the question (and the questioner).
