How George W. Bush failed the GOP

The Washington Post ^ | December 11, 2013 | Rachel Maddow

Painful as it is to admit it, there are some good insights as to how the GOP fell into the hands of a bunch of two-bit GOP-Establishment hacks.

[1rudeboy]

Name one insight.

[Williams]

Blame Bush?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

It amazes me to no end how leftists are always analyzing over the death of the GOP and then offering sage advice.

Why can't they be happy that's its dying, and celebrate? Or do they need them like the Globetrotters need the Generals?

[1st Division guy]

the GOP is failing the GOP

[Las Vegas Ron]

Madcow blaming Bush on FR?

IBTZ!

[Borderline]

Who would EVER give a flying firetruck what Maddow thinks?

[JRandomFreeper]

Welcome to Free Republic.

I don't take advice from people like Rachel Mad-cow.

This boi-dike’s first first column in the compost is very original. Blame Bush, what a novel idea. (is that sarcasm tag really necessary?)

[JRandomFreeper]

Tis the season. There will be lots of them with the contested primaries.

Is this Maddow’s dutiful attempt to change the subject from her president’s sinking popularity? Quick, the countries disappointed with Obama, let’s talk about W some more.

[Gay State Conservative]

Sounds like she needs to get...well,you know.Wait! What’s that? She doesn’t......

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Hey, we were all new once.

[DoughtyOne]

I may have my differences with Bush, but it will be a cold day in hell before I’ll give a darn what Maddow or the Washington Post have to say on the subject.

Where’s the critical analysis of the man that has the job now?

Oh, that’s right, there is none.

No, it’s more important to get in a few more kicks to the groin of an ex-president, than to take down the present enemy of the state who is doing his best to destroy our nation.

[NormsRevenge]

IN the sense that he served at a time when the country was ready for change and moving ahead, his plate was full, his leadership required elsewhere besides uniting and building the Gop. IT was and is as much a coalition of malcontent groups of odd curmudgeons and patriots as any, the opportunities lost may come up ahead of the successes claimed.

So now it’s Bush’s fault because the GOP establishment (mostly) are jack asses?
Good grief.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Yep, first 2014 mid terms, then primaries, then 2016.

We got three good years of some serious rocking coming up!

[Theoria]

The GOP failed themselves. They didn’t push pres. Bush to the right, hold him accountable, nor did they develop a bench.

[JRandomFreeper]

But none of us found Mad-cow insightful.
