You are as ignorant about Presdient Bush now as you have always been, ray. (He didn't fight for McCain?? McCain was campaigning against HIM, and factually, Bush did not 'leave us' with Obama. There were a score of actual reasons Obama won. Bush's 'failure' -in your eyes - was not one of them).
It is because I do not participate in groupthink, that I do not agree with your hatred. It is because I think for myself, and am not swayed by the emotion du jour, that I did not lose respect for a leader who had earned that respect, even though I disagreed with some of his policies. It is because I have paid close attention, that I know much more than you do about who President Bush really is.
Take care, ray. We do agree on many things, but not on your irrational anger toward a man of great character and patriotism.
Peace.
my response to Raybbr is above
Your replies are very good and I appreciate your being around
It strikes me that if an “independent “ voter ever wandered onto this site now looking for reason to vote for Gingrich or Santourum or whoever, they would have a hard time wading though the hatred for GW Bush
and how can we say that we want someone to vote for a Republican when there is so much contempt for the last Republican president.
I think McCaine hurt himself by not directly addressing the critics of Bush/Cheney and I think that whoever gets the nomination now should face it head on
