Thanks, somehow I had forgotten about McCain-Feingold.
All five of them? Rubbish, look at the voting results, minus the Rino’s, Repubs in congress come down invariably against the DemocRATS.
And what is your agenda? Pushing a third party? Or transform the Repub party into an actual conservative party? I’m for the latter. I’ve got no use for the hippy/atheist Liberaltarian Party. The only third party that has a long shot chance of getting anywhere.
Now, with unified Democratic control of the presidency and both houses of Congress, we're seeing spending that makes Bush's record look downright thrifty. Republicans have again found their voice on fiscal discipline. And some of them wish they had been more outspoken when a president of their own party was in the White House.
Let Bush endorse Obama in 2012 that would be a hoot.
All five non-RINOs. Don’t know where you get your info on the Libertarian Party.
The GOP should stop awarding entire state delegates to the winner....and award delegate based on proportion
McCain won the nomination by getting only 35% of GOP primary votes. Nearly 2/3 of GOP primary voters VOTED AGAINST HIM.
A proportional delegate distribution would have probably kept McCain from winning the nomination. And, the GOP would have had a stronger candidate
I agree with you on that one, but the party wants winner take all in order to avoid GOP Convention floor fights.
George Bush...the liberal history book writers and academia will have a field day crushing his legacy.
I intend to enjoy it lol.
His disdain for conservatives is obvious, mocking and real.
I think the GOP could use a few convention floor fights...it just is not wise to have a candidate with 35% of primary votes. If it was not for Sarah Palin, I think McCain would have been a 50 state disaster
Hey, I do enjoy reading your posts on this thread, you have made some really good points
Thanks.
WE must remember that the movement is about conservatism and not personality and that’s where the party failed on GWB.
W. Bush, take your dad and peanut Carter with you too.
It doesn’t matter whether Latimer is telling the truth or not. Fact is...GW set us on a disasterous course. I know I’m not the only one here who’s had a sick feeling in his gut since last Sept/Oct when he started this Socialist BS. I wanna hurl when I hear Rush and Hannity defend the guy.
Why waste your time laughing at FR posters? The left/dims are really funny, why don’t you post at their sites?
Well said. On each and everyone of these Rush and Hannity were largely MIA. True, Rush did utter a few feeble protests but on prescription drugs I remember at the time that Hannity actually said he "didn't care." For both, the wars took precedence and thus Bush's support for big government at home was a worthwhile price to pay. It is a trite phrase: "war is the health of the state" but is nonetheless true, especially during the Bush years. Actually, it is still true now as conservatives continue to give Obama at blank check for his wars.
Early 2008, per the linked Washington Examiner story.
You can click the link. It won't bite you.
Folks he always said he was a “compassionate” conservative. He made a lot of good calls, he made a lot of bad ones.
Sean’s ‘Stop the Hillary Express’ worked out well...
