Just because I understand the requirements for war and a needed strong national defense and your beloved Liberal Republican hero did not doesn't make me an armchair QB. I do my homework before I post. Yet like I said Bush himself in the 2000 debates told this nation he and Mr Gore were not far apart on most issues. To that part Bush was true. He loathed the Conservative side of the GOP and it nearly cost him two elections. His lack of ability to unite the GOP cost us a two house majority. Why? Because he had no use for conservatives.
If a seat came open he had a long time family friends name in the media spotlight. If that friend lost in the primary to a conservative Bush lost interest. I give you the Fred Thompson senate retirement and Bush announcement of Alexander within minutes as an example. We had two far better conservatives on record. Who does Junior anoint? Poppy Friend Lamar Alexander who is almost as Liberal as Lindsey Graham on many issues. Enough Said!
So? Neither was I. I’m tired of the petty, sniveling namecalling of a ‘rich frat boy’ who could have sat back and enjoyed his entire life as a goofball, but instead had the courage to step up and take responsibility for a nation who needed an honest, respectful leader at the healm. He was exactly that for eight years. Babble on . . .
