Have to disagree. Bush laid the groundwork for what we have now. The Bush family has done so much to destroy the Republican Party and the conservative movement, that I begin to think they have been sent from the Democrats for that purpose.

President GW Bush makes Obama look like an utter joke. It is difficult to even compare the two. However, if GW was a Democrat he'd still be the second most liberal president ever (third if you adjust FDR's spending to current Dollar figures).

I disagree. I think history will treat GWB better than the public opinion polls. GWB can be compared Truman, never very popular while in office. But someone who made the really tough decisions in time of war. GWB laid the groundwork for taking out Bin-Laden. There is more....much more....It was Bill Clinton who dropped the ball on not taking terrorism seriously and letting Bin-Laden escape when he had im in our crosshairs. Bill Clinton was preoccupied with more important matters in the Oral Office with the young intern nestled beneath his desk.

During his presidency I supported him completely. I still think he is a good and decent man with a lovely family. That being said, looking back on it he opened ALL kinds of Pandora's boxes. I completely agree with you that he is actually to blame for a lot of the mess we find ourselves in today. What do they say? The road to hell is paved in good intentions? Bush 43 sure paved some seriously nasty road!

So totally disagree with that. You haven't been enjoying the tax cuts?

I blame the GOP for the problems with conservative movement.
