Nothing vile from that family of scummy hypocrites is shocking.

[Here's my assessment of George W. Bush submitted here 11 years ago on November 24, 2008 in the wake of the dismaying victory of Barack Obama]:

There are many subordinate reasons why this calamity happened and it is necessary to identify them and assign weight to them so that the important ones can be addressed and corrected.

One such reason can be addressed and could have been corrected, or at least mitigated: It is quite normal for a political party in the sixth year of the presidency to lose the Senate and House seats. In some respects, it was to be expected that this would occur now. Clinton, however, was able to resist this historical trend but those were rather special circumstances.

Similarly, history shows the political parties, after 12 years in power, tend to become arrogant, cynical, and corrupt and that certainly has happened to the Republicans in spades. The voters have just cured the arrogance dimension of this equation but it remains to be seen if the corruption has been rooted out. The "values voters" will tell us in the next election if the Republicans have abandoned their cynicism.

Other reasons are less easily identifiable and more subjective in nature. One goes to the very essence of the character of George Bush. I've long published that he is not a movement conservative, in fact he is not a conservative at all but rather he is a patrician with loyalties to family, friends, and country. His politics are animated not by conservative ideology but by a noblisse oblige which, as a substitute for political philosophy, move him to act from loyalty and love of country. The result of this is that he does not weigh his words and actions against a coherent standard grounded in conservatism, but instinctively reacts to do what is right for family, friends, and country. Thus we get Harriet Meirs, pandering to the Clintons and Kennedys, prescription drug laws, campaign finance laws, runaway spending, and the war in Iraq. The conservative movement is left muddled and confused and the Republican Party undisciplined and leaderless. In these circumstances all manner of mischief is possible beginning with corruption and indiscipline in the ranks. To be effective, a president must be feared as well is loved. A President is more than just Commander in Chief and Chief Executive of the nation, he is the titular head of his party and he must rule it. If Bush was willing to pander to the likes of Teddy Kennedy, what did Senator John McCain have to fear from him? Bush has utterly failed in his role as head wrangler of the Republican Party.

Other subjective reasons for the debacle involve Bush's personal character. He is essentially a nonconfrontational man who would rather operate through collegiality than through power. This is reinforced by his Christian belief and he will almost literally turn the other cheek. So, his loyalty to family and friends affects his appointments and produce mediocrities like Brown at FEMA and Ridge at Homeland Security and Harriet Meirs. It makes him shrink from prosecuting the crimes of his enemies even to the point of overlooking real security lapses committed by The New York Times. It makes it very difficult for Bush to discipline his troops and fire incompetent or disloyal subordinates. Instead he soothes them with the Medal of Freedom.

George Bush is a singularly inarticulate man. When he is not delivering a prepared speech, his sincerity and goodness of character come through, but his policies often die an agonizing death along with the syntax. The truth is that Bush has never been able, Ronald Reagan style, to articulate well the three or four fundamental issues which move the times in which we live. One need only cite the bootless efforts to reform Social Security as an example. His inability to tell America why we must fight in Iraq to win the greater worldwide war against terrorism, or how we are even going to win in Iraq, has been fatal to the Republicans' chances in this election. Of course, one can carry this Billy Budd characterization too far and it is easy to overemphasize its importance, but it is part of the general pattern which has led us to this pass. It is a very great pity that the bully pulpit has been squandered in the hands of a man so inarticulate. That the bully pulpit was wasted means that there are no great guiding principles for the country, for the party, for the administration, for Congress to follow, or for the voters to be inspired by. If the voters went into the booth confused about what the Republican Party stands for, the fault is primarily George Bush's.

While I appreciate your commentary, the Lord requires us to judge a personage like George W Bush and his political family by their fruit:

1. 1 million genocided Christians in Iraq since Bush’s invasion

2. Prescott Bush founded the racist, black genocide of Planned Parenthood with Margaret Sanger

3. Prescott Bush funded the Holocaust by funding Hitler.

4. George W Bush continued to fund Planned Parenthood throughout his eight years in office to the tune of billions and billions of dollars.

I shudder to think what the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob will have to say when the Bushes stand before Him.

Trump said he didn’t blame laura bush for hating him because Trump stuck it to her sons. It would be natural for the sons as well to not feel fondly toward the president for the way he trashed W and his brother.

[nathanbedford]

I was unaware of the association of Prescott Bush with Planned Parenthood, an association which I deplore. On September 5, 2008 I wrote:

They are honest, they are loyal, they are patrician. There would've been admired and respected if had lived among the founding fathers. But it is Laura Bush and Momma Bush who really and truly speak for the family and who tell us what they are thinking and who they are. There's not a Bush woman who does not believe in abortion. They believe in family, they live in loyalty, they believe in the tribe, but they do not believe in partisan politics.

I stand by the rest of my observations made 11 years ago describing the character of George Bush and how he left the country in a mess because he left his party in disarray. That because he was not a movement conservative, not a conservative at all, but rather a man of faith and family values which trumped party needs or conservative philosophy.

He can be faulted for soliciting conservatives votes, support, shoe leather and contributions and then abandoning the conservative ideology in office, as described in my previous post. It is not just conservatives he abandoned and harmed but the country.

Not only that, but we/we removed Iran’s only local enemy capable enough of keeping them in-check.

When will people learn that the Bush family are deep state. His dad announced the NWO, which was a traitourous act. The Bush family is deep state.

If you really thought you had a choice before Trump came along.

Our country’s foreign policies have had serious lack of vision for many years. This of course peaked during the Obama years. It didn’t seem like it could get any worse than Hillary Clinton, a corrupt, clueless, power hungry, delusional idiot as our Secretary of State, but then she was replaced with John Kerry who by many measures was even worse. Kerry’s accommodations to Iran didn’t just border on treason they surpassed it. Iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism since Jimmy Carter let and even encouraged the Shaw’s regime to fail. The Ayatollahs have imprisoned 85 million people for 40 years now. And Kerry gave them an unimaginable some of money that has enabled them to keep control. Insane!

I am really disappointed in Bush.

I thought he would know better after all the lies and attacks he suffered through from the Democrats.

Sadly as we see here, there are more than a few FReepers who are incapable of accepting the fact that the Bush clan is Deep State.

The "conservative George W Bush" that tens of millions of Americans voted for in 2000 & 2008, was as much a complete fraud as the "Russian Collusion" lie he continues to push.

What more will it take for these deniers to see the light?

It’s been glaringly evident, for a decade, at least.

I’m sorry I ever supported this guy.

I'll raise you.

I'm convinced we have Deep State infiltrators on FreeRepublic.

Here's a kid teaching Jeb how to order guacamole online.

"Hey, while you're at it, my Dad wants me to post something on FreeRepublic!"
