Things I don’t miss about George W. Bush (Michelle Malkin)
Michelle Malkin ,com ^ | February 9, 2010 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 02/09/2010 1:44:33 PM PST by sickoflibs

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but someone has to do it.

The “Miss Me Yet?” billboard (inspired by Jonathan Maney’s t-shirts) is cute. But let’s not get carried away with nostalgia.

President Bush put America on the proper war footing after 9/11 and deserves much credit for doing so, but he also:

1) joined with open-borders progressives McCain and Kennedy to try to force shamnesty down our throats;

2) massively expanded the federal role in education;

3) championed the Medicare prescription drug entitlement using phony math;

4) kowtowed to the jihadi-enabling Saudis;

5) stocked DHS with incompetents and cronies;

6) pushed Hillarycare for housing;

7) enabled turncoat Arlen Specter;

8. nominated crony Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court;

9) pre-socialized the economy for Obama by embracing TARP, the auto bailouts, the AIG bailout, and in his own words:

“I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system.” – George W. Bush

No, I don’t miss having a corporate socialist Republican in the White House any more than I like having a corporate socialist Democrat in the White House now.

I don’t agree with MM on everything, and she’s entitled to her opinions. However, GWB was a thousand times better than what we now have in office, and what we had previous to his administration.

Shame on Michelle for giving the left talking points.

RE :” I don't trust very many of them (in particular, the one who posted this thread) (I think she means sickoflibs, LOL) to actually be conservatives in real life. (by ohioWfan)...... I think I've made exactly that point to several of these guys...including sickoflibs.”(by A.Hun;)

Once again moving from the political to the personal. Do you bots ever play a new record?

So what does your ‘trust’ of your Bush buddies to be what you consider REAL conservatives buy them? Am I missing out on something big?

What about Michelle Malkin? She fail your test too?

Perfect libspeak! Congratulations.

Thank you for the compliment. Too bad you didn't recognize Lib speak when your idol was speaking it. I guess all the mindless drooling and kissing and worshiping the ground he walked on distracted you. You are forgiven.

Now, PAY ATTENTION, and learn so that you don't commit such an error in the future. Being a syncophatic bushbot is no way to go through life.

RE :” Wanted to sell US port operations to Dubai - a nation that supports terror.

This one I thought Bush was right on. Where did the terror stuff come from? Neil Cavuto and even Rush questioned demonizing Dubai over this. Why would they support terrorism when they are trying to expand a world wide port business? It never made sense, I thought this was a lynch mob set off by Chuck Schumer , Savage and Levin. The Teamster union too.

Otherwise I agree.

I think Michelle is mislead....I think you are nothing but a dem/paulbot/bircher/something plant.

Your constant bashing of Bush and Republicans, even after Obama and the Dems are in control, is irrational unless you are working against conservatives.

You and your ilk spent four years destroying conservative morale and helped Obama and the Dems take over.

You should quit helping them now....

LOL! The king of ad hominem lies recoiling from the truth. Oh, the irony.

Just for the record, sick here accuses everyone who doesn't agree with him as being a "Hannity-bot," a "Levin-bot," a "Bush-bot," and whatever random name comes to his mind, no regard to the truth.

Michelle Malkin, unlike you, is a conservative. She's just angry and self-absorbed and clearly desperate for attention.

But, as I said, unlike yourself, she really is a conservative, and she's also out of college.... :)

Reagan was the last President who was not a socialist. GHWB, WJC, AND GWB all allowed the full-bore socialism infestation that Soetoro/Obama and his myrmidons are instituting by law - just as Lenin, Mao, and Hitler did in the last century.

The problem with Dubai was it was the ONLY time I ever heard that idiot threaten to veto legislation. After all the huge manatee expansion of the federal government and he was going to exercise his weenie pen over that. It was another stupid hill to die on.

AOL poll found the following:

Do You Miss George W Bush Yet?
52% Completely
14% Sort of
34% Not on your life
Total votes: 264,516

Wonder how many of the "Not on your life" minority are leftists.

And I wonder how many of them are pseudo-con freepers?

Wouldn't it be interesting to find out? The Bush haters are in bed together, that's for sure.....

You would have hated Reagan with a passion, for exactly the same reasons you hate Bush....are you old enough to remember him?

Gee whiz...we just got Sonia Sotomayer confirmed...Meirs looks like a rocket scientist compared to her or Ginsburg for that matter.

You are mixing crats and Republicans. You should know better. Republicans are always held to a higher standard because we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Do you think a Barney Frank, a Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, or a John Edwards could be elected to office by Republicans? Forbid it almighty God! Only the bott attitude allows such obviously flawed people to be elected.

Think for your self, be objective, don't be a bott.

Your first reaction to a factual post written by a conservative (MM) is a personal attack on the poster, your next steps will be crying victim and then crying to the moderator. At the same time you will calling others immature and not to your high standards.

Not likely. Ask him what his GPA is. ;*)

To be fair, he did give us tax cuts

To be fair, his tax cuts were centered around rebates which did nothing to help the economy.

I only call bots like you a bot. A bot is someone who never posts anything factual, they go with the emotional and personal first. That means YOU!

To be honest you'd have to retract that statement.

To wit:

* A reduction of individual income tax rates from 15, 28, 31, 36, and 39.6 percent to 10, 15, 25, 28, 33, and 35 percent;
* An increase in the child tax credit from $500 to $1,000;
* A phased-in reduction in estate taxes, and a one-year repeal in 2010;
* A big expansion of tax-favored retirement savings plans.
