NAPLES The Bush brothers packed the house at the Naples Grande Beach Resort.
Former President George W. Bush and his brother Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, spoke Tuesday night as part of the Naples Town Hall Distinguished Speakers Series. They talked issues _ everything from health care and the Iraq war to budget deficits and Social Security reform.
George W. Bush, the 43rd U.S. president, has stayed out of the spotlight, limiting his face-time in public since leaving the White House about a year ago.
He and his brother the states 43rd governor addressed a crowd of more than 1,000 who purchased tickets to see them. Tickets to hear the duo speak started at $200.
The brothers had the crowd laughing, clapping and sighing with heart-felt emotions as they showed their more personal side. A few times, George W. Bush fought tears as he talked about the support of his wife in the Oval Office and how his decisions to send more troops to Iraq hurt families in the U.S. who lost their sons, daughters, husbands and wives to the war.

Which you fabricated out of an overly fertile imagination and a huge amount of arrogance.
Now stop calling your conservative elder nasty names, and this can be over.
You have done nothing but falsely deride me as a liberal from your first post to me, and I am sick of it. Just stop and go BE conservative.
“I called you a liar?? Nope. I called you a phony.
Yes, you called me a liar. In this thread.
“BIG difference. You have done nothing other than attack me for being a liberal (following me around to do that, I think), while you have done nothing conservative in your life.”
I don’t follow you around [this victimhood thing is part of the pathology]. I just post in the same threads you do.
I’ve done plenty that’s “conservative” in my life. That includes not supporting liberals. Why don’t you try it?
“Between the two of us, there’s only one active conservative.........ME.”
LOL. Someone who is fine with saddling future generations with debt because the guy partly responsible for it is someone they happen to like is hardly conservative.
Half the things on those lists of his accomplishments you cut-n-paste are liberal things. That you think we should be happy he pushed those agendas - like Part D and NCLB - just shows you have no clue what the conservative position is.
A real enemy? As opposed to what, a fake enemy?
and if you keep fighting the past, we can't fix the future.
If you don't genuinely repent for your past mistakes, what makes you so sure that you can actually become good?
The American electorate witnessed the actions of "conservative" Republicans under a Bush administration and over six concurrent years of a Republican-controlled Congress, during which Republicans abandoned their principles wholesale.
And if we don't get the Marxists out of office
This isn't just about "get[ting] the Marxists out of office."
This is about restoring the Founders' vision of limited, Constitutional government and of individual freedom and liberty.
we're never, ever going to recover.
I find your lack of faith in your fellow Americans deeply disturbing.
“Which you fabricated out of an overly fertile imagination and a huge amount of arrogance.”
Nope. You are like those folks at church who ignore what Paul recommended and sit up front with their hands in the air.... “look at me! I’m so much better than you!”
“Now stop calling your conservative elder nasty names, and this can be over.”
Stop pretending to be a conservative and I have far too much gray in my hair to worry about “respecting my elders” just because they are older than me.
“You have done nothing but falsely deride me as a liberal from your first post to me, and I am sick of it. Just stop and go BE conservative.”
I am “being a conservative”. That’s why I counter your attempts to spin a liberal into something he wasn’t. I’m sick of that. I too, am “sickoflibs”. ;)
She's pushing Medicare Part D and NCLB?
That's sick.
OhioWfan, if you approve of Medicare Part D, then you have no grounds on which to stand when it comes to disapproving of Obamacare.
“She’s pushing Medicare Part D and NCLB?”
I don’t think she has in this thread, but she has supported that list on previous threads.
And I believe you followed me to this thread to continue your name-calling assault.
Now I'm going to ask you one more time BE a conservative, and stop mocking those of us who really DO something.
Favor Center has a serious problem with not telling the truth.
rabscuttle, you're a zealot and quick to call names, but I think at least you tell the truth.
Favor Center doesn't.
I have been opposed to Medicare since before it started, rabs. Since waaaay before you were born.
“Fact - you have called me a liberal since you started posting to me, pestered me with name-calling posts, and mocked me for it (and this has been going on almost since you signed on, newbie).”
You defend a liberal, you get called a liberal.
“Fact- I have asked you what you have ever done for conservatism, and you told me about your state and your job, and kept calling me a liberal.”
You defend a liberal, you work against conservatism.
“Fact - I gave you a list of the things I have actually done for conservatism, and asked you to DO something.”
Apart from anyone claiming anything on the internet, I’ve done my part.
“Fact - you then called me arrogant, a serial liar, un-Christian, and ANTI-AMERICAN, and mocked me for being a “homebody” and now for not having a PhD (because I chose to raise quality kids rather than further my career).”
You are arrogant, you either lie or ignore the truth, wield your faith like some sort of hammer (that’s the anti-Christian thing), run close to worshipping a politician (there two), and have made a big deal in the past about having been an “adjunct professor” as if it gives you more credibility. I presumed you had a PhD and merely asked your field.
Defending a globalist who insults Americans and works to plow us under the 3rd World makes you “anti-American”. Perhaps you should avoid associations that would paint you that way.
Dropping to your knees for a RINO doesn't count.
But do let your fellow FReepers know when you need another set of kneepads to replace the ones you wore out for Bush.
You really need to get your act together. Your lies (yes, now you are deliberately lying) are getting more and more outrageous.
You'd better stop before you get in trouble here.
I haven't lied about a single thing I've said. Not one.
I feel like I'm in a Jr. High locker room.
Probably time to leave so you boys can tell dirty jokes.
(But thanks for the reminder that you're not really a grown-up, rabs. I almost forgot for a minute).
No wonder you don't understand integrity, rabs. You have a filthy mind and a gutter mouth.
Shall I get my husband to read this filth? Or shall I, for the first time, post abuse on this post so the mods can see what kind of creepy boy you are?
And you have a dirty mind for connoting it in such a manner, especially since all I did was replay your words back to you.

This took about five seconds. I’m sure there are more.
Here’s the one I was thinking of:

Perhaps she’s never read actually that list.
“You’d better stop before you get in trouble here.”
Ah, here comes the threat.
“I haven’t lied about a single thing I’ve said. Not one.”
Then you are merely ignorant.
Knee pads? You’re filthy. There is no other word for it.
Maybe you wanted to feel more comfortable. After all, being on your knees for that many years has got to get uncomfortable after a while.
But hey, it's "God's work," so what the heck!
Stop with the kiddie games and give it up ok?
If you get it trouble it will be because you have broken FR rules, and I will have had nothing to do with it.
Since you are so new to the forum, I thought you should know that you are on the edge of getting in trouble.
Consider yourself warned.
