When I witness a people acting in ways I can’t understand, I try to put myself in their shoes and look at things from their point of view.
I have been trying to do this with people here who tie themselves in pretzels trying to excuse Bush’s progressive policies in order to maintain their love for him.
I confess now that I have failed. I just don’t get it.
You will probably find that most prevalent in people like myself that live in Texas, because we remember him as governor. During that time we had a concealed carry law, twice vetoed by our idiot previous governor, signed by Bush. We had a cold blooded murder (Carla Fay Tucker sp?) that had scammed the world with her “conversion” that Bush stood his ground on and sent to pay for her crime. And many, many other examples.
I believe Governor Bush was a lot closer to “Ranch George.” Unfortunately, Washington has a way of twisting people to its shape. Reagan was one of my favorite presidents, but a long list can be made of things that were screwed-up during his term of office (how many other people got screwed in 1986 when the ITC was repealed in the fall, RETROACTIVELY to the first of the year?).
