Back in 2002 I believed talk radio and told Republicans and Democrats that he would be seen in history as a great visionary, another Reagan. Well after many painful years I went back and apologized for that prediction, the 12 step Bush-bot recovery program. Yes, I believed in everything, when Cheney went on NBC and predicted Iraq oil would pay for reconstruction I believed. When he talked about WMDs I believed. Like current Bots I convinced myself GWB was sent to us. This is why I cant tolerate current Bots. (We did get two good things, Alito and Roberts)

Reflections of a (very unhappy) former Bush-Bot in Obama-land

Nice comments. I’m bookmarking this post and will return next week to address them.

I see things a little differently, but I don’t want that to telegraph to you that I don’t understand what drove them and that I think you’re way off course. That’s not the case.

I appreciate the fact that you took the time to write down what you thoughts were/are, and have made those thoughts available for review by others.

A good healthy debate is needed on our side. We need to clearly define our goals, and lay out a step by step policy to realize those goals.

Electing another RINO, IS NOT on the table IMO. By saying that, I am not inferring that you think it is either.

Take care.

Meaning to get back to you, been busy on Health Reform posts and pings, plotting against Obama/Reid Pelosi is way more fun than this :)

When I made the analogy that “WMDs” was Bush's “ I did not have sex with that women ”. I was not referring to the two authors intentions (Lie vs Mistake which everyone has their own personal opinion.) I was referring to their place in history as seen by the population including independents, obviously outside of most here.

Democrats always argue (to me here in MD too) that Bush lied about WMDs, and Obama is misjudging things like the economy and jobs. It's Dems fixed rule. I always ask liberals if they really think Bush thought he could get away with such a huge lie (their assumption seems silly) . Bush supporters argue that Bush's actions were fully justified because he truly believed in WMDs. I disagree with that too, he was in charge, had info we will never see or could see then, and made the decisions AND THE HUGE SALES pitch (and we cant blame congress for the invasion as Hannity tries much as we would like to) .

Just thought of another :” It depends on what the meaning of the word is is ” becomes “ It depends on what the meaning of the word WMDs is ”
