50 Shades of Bush Blame

[Kaslin]

The seventh paragraph says it all

[txnativegop]

His passage of the Patriot Act will haunt all of us, Kaslin.

However, the left has done an excellent job of labeling GWB as the bad guy. He wasn’t overall, but he did make serious mistakes like the Patriot Act.

[Sans-Culotte]

What it really comes down to: the rats control the media.

[DManA]

My complaint about Bush was he was worthless. He made no progress on any of the existential threats to the Republic.

[GBA]

They skipped a Bush.

Poppy restarted the decline that Reagan had momentarily halted and turned in the right direction direction.

The economic turnaround was all a Reagan illusion. Voodoo economics don't work, doncha know, so elder Bush and all who have followed have systematically undone those reforms and taken us to where we are now, admiring the view from the fiscal cliff.

If you're going to blame Bush, start with the original. All things flow from the source.

[LucianOfSamasota]

Bush is Emmanuel Goldstein. He caused aids, global warming, and Hurricane Katrina. Teen pregnancy is a result of Bush additives to the public water supply.

Only Obama can save us. But he needs to be freed from legal and constitutional limitations, so that he can ‘kick some a**’ and punish the greedy.

There. Newspeak isn’t so hard.

When you know the nature of a thing, you know what it is capable of.

[TurboZamboni]

Creating DHS was the biggest mistake of all,IMHO.

super bureaucracy with super spending...just wait till TSA unionizes.

[Kaslin]

You are mistaken it did not start with President Bush 41. He did not renege on his promise not to raise taxes, but war forced by the rats to do so, and that is a fact whether you like it or not. Maybe you didn’t pay attention but I did

[Kaslin]

You might not like it, but I believe the Patriot act was necessary, because of 9/11, and tell me what rights did you lose? We are losing more rights now with this administration than we ever had or ever will

[malia]

Thank you!

[Kaslin]

All I am saying that is our opinion and you are entitled to it. He was a million times better than that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave

[malia]

and .......... Thank you, again!!!

[GBA]

I was paying attention, but I don't wear Bush bias glasses and am not a member of the rino party. As such, I'm rereading history with a more open mind, following the footprints and not liking what I see.

The state of the GOP, and in large part the state of the nation and its economy, flow from the Bush family. It all is as much their legacy as it is the demonrat party's.

Reagan was the idealist, non-establisment odd man out and they have made sure the era of Reagan ended in the GOP and elsewhere. Their hostility toward the TEA party republicans adds more supporting evidence. I believe it is more than just appearances that Clinton is a welcomed part of their family. Just ask Babs.

[Kaslin]

I thank you for standing by me

[dragnet2]

Here’s the big conservative Bush, just a few years prior to the housing crash, pushing home loans for totally unqualified minorities. “You can have as good of home as anyone else”.

[Kaslin]

Don't make me laugh. What accomplishments have your candidates of your third party gotten. Where are they?

[Theoria]

'because of 9/11, and tell me what rights did you lose?'

Are you joking? Simply because 'you' or I haven't been prosecuted or suspected of doing anything does not dismiss the point that the Pat Act greatly dismissed the role of the 'accused' citizen.

Secondly, like almost ALL things Bush did. It laid a template for another President to expand the State. Either in the form of Gov't bureaucracy or for economic purposes. When we look back at recent precedences, it wont be Obama who expanded the role of the State, but Bush. And for the that, the Republic will never be the same.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Kaslin.

The Left and their Old Media amplifiers tell a simple story: George Bush inherited from Bill Clinton a strong economy and a balanced budget. He proceeded to commit national arson by deregulating Wall Street, cutting taxes for the rich, and fighting two needless wars.

Bush made Obama possible.. but thats not the worse thing he did..

The worse thing Bush did WAS.... making it possible for democrats to blame all THEIR spending on HIM..

And they did it quite well so well that America elected Obama AGAIN..
He spent like a democrat in his second term.. AND did nothing about massive voter fraud..

The Shrub should be awarded Hero of the democrat party..
It may take a few years but he may yet get that distinction..

And YES he’s a dead ringer for Alfred E. Nueman... i.e. Madd Mag..
The republican “elite’s” must still having a great Yuk about that.. foisting that ringer on us..
I know the Dumbocrats are..
