Well, if you don't agree with much of this article, does that make you a “Bushbot”?
If so, I guess I am one.
Bush never pretended to be anything other than a mainline Republican. What he was, though, was a man confronted with a modern Pearl Harbor.
So, it isn't hypocritical to condemn a Balkan intervention where there was no national security at stake and no way to tell who the right players were, and then turn around and try to confront a threat against the nation with 3,000 dead. What he wasn't was brain dead to changing circumstances.
What this author was, was brain dead to context. Plus it isn't fair to Bush to smear him altogether for big government. He had a lot to fix after the Clinton years and those attempts he floated, such as medical savings accounts and an alternative to Social Security were dead on arrival. Foreign policy I would grade him an A+. Domestic, C or C-. Far better than the straight F's the current crowd has earned.

Yep, especially if you disagree with them in any way.

If you're not a "Bushbot", you're a "RINO".

Obama is a cynic wrapped in a hypocrite inside a bully.
