Boston Globe, March 8, 1987
Im very concerned, said New Right leader Weyrich, a frequent White House visitor in recent days. The position right now seems designed to get an agreement with Moscow. Its getting a great push from Nancy Reagan so that there can be a Nobel Prize at the end for her husband. Adds Howard Phillips of the Conservative Caucus, I think it may be the same game Nixon played back in 1974 at the height of Watergate, using talks with Leonid Brezhnev as a prop to show that he was still an effective president. . . On this and other foreign and domestic issues, the concern I have is that our options are not going to be presented forcefully . . . Weyrich is only slightly less gloomy. In the very short-term, were going to know whether conservatives are just window-dressing, he said. Howard Baker is saying to everybody and his mother that he wants to really reach out to us. Well soon see. Many White House watchers take the mood of those on the New Right as a clue to which direction Reagan is moving in, which means the signs appear to point toward the middle recalling Reagans moderation and compromises during his second term as governor of California in the early 1970s. Howard Phillips accepts the analogy but adds a warning to all Republicans. As Reagan drifted to more of a consensus politician, he bought surcease from heavy criticism, he said. But in the process he also spent all his time responding to his opponents agenda, in effect legitimizing it. Just in case anyone has forgotten, I believe Reagan was succeeded as governor by Jerry Brown.

That reminds me of the “Bush brought us Obama/ Pelosi / Reid” meme (nothing new under the sun is there)
Just want to post this here before I go....
I've got a theory working that ALL true BDS'ers have low IQ's (as evidenced by some on this thread).
I'll share it with you later. ;)
Every single ONE of this little knot of Bush-hating 'purists' (most of whom are more liberal than the average freeper, btw) would have been bashing Reagan on this forum, had it existed.
There is no greater example of dishonesty and duplicity around than these 'perfect' conservatives.
They're ALL phonies.
These Bushbots and RINO apologists sound exactly like Mike Huckabee.
There are all kinds of Leftists.... knothead..
Some them are REPUBLICANS... calling themselves "conservatives" or "centrists"....
You must think this whole thing to SIMPLE!!!.. Its NOT simple..
Bush is a Progressive.. like the other republican elitists...
Evidenced by what he DOES and DOESN'T do....
But I HATE the republican progressives the most.. because they are shills..
Shills... you know.. fakes, poseurs, phoneys, turncoats, moles, spies, tools, what did Stalin call them.. "useful idiots"..
The very ones the TpCaucus HATES...
I don’t see anything that has happened that vindicates Bush one iota.
Way more questions than answers here on Bin Laden.
That's why I work in the Republican party primaries to get the most conservative people possible to reform our party from within.
If you think calling George W. Bush Alfred E. Newman helps conservatism, you must be a libertarian who smokes what you think should be made legal.
Don't just be angry and whine on the internet. Get to work.
btw, you still haven't looked up the meaning of the silly insults you throw out there, have you.
Buy a dictionary. Think. It might make a difference in your ability to discern.
Then again, maybe not.......
See you, Buffy. It's Mother's Day and I'm having some fun, and since you are humorless and witless, you and your witless buddies can't be a part of it. :)
You're off your rocker, skippy. You know nothing about my preferences.
The truth is G. Bush is as smart as you or I am..
But the truth is he resembles Afred E. Nueman STRONGLY...
The so-called conservative agenda NEEDS the TRUTH!...
He also exudes Alfies..the "What me worry?" by line..
He refuses to attack the democrats but prefers working with them..
The truth is he doesnt know the WAR is in Washington D.C. NOT IRAQ... so ignores the real threat..
SOoooo he fights the wrong war.. i.e. Iraq, Afganistan..
Iraq and Afganistan are mere skirmishes the real WAR is in Washington D.C...
What HIM worry?..
President Bush's grasp on exactly what that horrific attack meant on 9-11 and the programs he implemented to ensure our safety and to keep that war off our shores was magnificent.
He had to fight an horrific battle at home to as the liberal press and minions of other democrat elites tried to tear him apart daily. (Wonder why gas prices right now are not front page news at NBC, CBS or ABC or even NPR and NPB? Oh, that's right, by golly, a marxist is in the house and the liberal press cannot lick his hiney enough!)
Yes he signed into law to much spending but he did not take us where we are today.
And he respected the OFFICE of the PRESIDENCY and he set an example by his lifestyle as President, he did not party on our dime everyday of the week, or take extravagant vacations, etc., etc.,
So you feel betrayed by him? Sorry for you.
I do not.
I am glad SO VERY GLAD he was President exactly when he was. We needed him.
Yep, to 'get' more big government, big deficit,big regulation, big entitlement ‘conservatives’ just like GWB. Heaven help us.
Well put!
Another sane one comes across insanity island. Welcome.
It's scary to think that those who still see GWB as a success may now be involved in the Republican party, electing more RINOs.
You can deny, deny, deny the TRUTH all you want. You can condemn him for everything he is, and everything he thought and did if it makes you feel better, but somewhere down inside that sad heart of yours, I know you KNOW it isn't right to do so.
I know that you KNOW he was an honorable man who loves his country and that the things he did to prevent terrorists from killing more of us worked. You know somewhere inside that he worked incessantly to fight Islamofascism and to keep us from further harm.
It doesn't matter to him whether you belittle him or not, but if you can't even recognize that he wasn't a fool, and that your calling him names doesn't do a blasted THING to help this country, there is no hope for you.
Take care, hoser. We need to work (together) to fix this country, and we need to do it fast before it disappears before our very eyes.
[ The irony of your actually feeling that President Bush had a “What? ME worry?” attitude in light of the fact - FACT - that his policies resulted in the prevention of further attacks on this country ]
The “What me worry” part was more of his Mexican border fiasco Kabuki dance.. His policys had nothing to do with no more terrorists attacks.. Keeping them busy in Iraq had nothing to do with it.. or even Afganistan.. Killing soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan WERE attacks on this country.. epecially attacks on our economy(huge bucks spent).. Wars of attrition... like in Vietnam.. AND he spent many more bucks domestically to calm down the democrats.. with new “hairbrained” entitlements..
Sure he did not approach Obama’s largess but then he was “Alfred E. Nueman” NOT Clem Kadidlehopper like Obama “IS”..
