Give me a break. GWB is responsible for his own actions. That is standard political tripe. If you go over MSNBC they are making the same lame excuses for Obama flipping so many positions from his promises to them :that he is too nice a guy, that he insists working with Republicans, that wants to be liked by them, that he doesnt understand how bad the other side is, BLA-BLA-BLA. This is just canned party excuses that gets repeated. They need to hold Obama responsible for his actions and quit blaming others, as you need to with Bush.
Look, Bush worked with Pelosi to ban safe light bulbs, that wasnt Obama it was Bush. He created a new entitlement in 2004 that we are stuck with the bill for (for purely political reasons.) That wasnt Pelosi or Obama, that was Bush. He stuck us with NCLB without private school vouchers. That was Bush. Then there was campaign finance reform... it's endless. He didnt pass any of that socialist crap to get Democrats to like him, he knew that would never happen especially after the 2004 election.
These people don’t care about the truth. They can’t handle the truth and don’t want to hear about Bush the Democrat, Bush the liberal.
Now the GOP insiders are considering running someone else from Texas? Has any anyone ever heard/seen Perry give a speech? His body language, his demeanor, and his voice are as phony as it gets...I’m talking 3rd rate carnival game caller. It’s down right pathetic and disturbing any conservative capable of critical thought, would even consider these people for high office.
I hear you. I do hold Bush responsible for those things. I think he did them to try to be liked and fit in with the political culture. All that “compassionate conservatism” crap. That’s a reason, not an excuse. He wouldn’t defend himself on Iraq either. That’s all his fault.
