“Nope...I think Bush is one of the top three presidents of all time along with Lincoln and Washington...”
You gotta be kidding, right? I guess we should start carving a new face on Mount Rushmore. While I think that Bush has done a great job on taxes, judges and the War on Islamo Fascism, he has been terrible in so many other aspects.
Lets keep in mind the school bill he had crafted with Ted Kennedy and the stupid free perscription drugs for seniors and the McCain Kennedy amnesty that almost passed. He also said he would sign the AWB if it came to his desk and he signed the McCain/Feingold bill. That means he’s weak on the first and second amendment.
Also, under his Presidency he has just recognized Kosovo as a seperate nation. This is a royal blunder that could very well end up backfiring right in our face. And for what? What national interest do we have in Kosovo? Is it worth expending American lives for? We might find out because this could explode into another balkan war.
In the words of Bismark, “the whole of the Balkans is not worth the blood of one Pomeranian grenadier” and my addendum or one American soldier/Marine.
Yes, Bush has done some good things as president, but he has also helped to fracture the conservative base of the party. So much so that we have McCain as our standard bearer.
You're as bad as the Dems blaming Bush. Bush hasn't voted.
The voters in NH started the ball rolling down the East coast for McCain.
Who besides Washington and Lincoln is better than Bush?

Good economic times will bring spending. The key is to look at the tax burden percentage-wise. I don't like the prescription drug bill, but the problem with that is more the American people's attitude toward it. Everybody thinks there has to be a pill for everything.
...and the McCain Kennedy amnesty that almost passed.
Unlike most of my conservative brethren, I see no solution to the illegal immigrant problem besides what Bush supports and sealing the border better. The idea of rounding up millions and dumping them in the northen Mexican desert is a non-starter. It'll never happen. What does that leave us?
He also said he would sign the AWB if it came to his desk...
The American people wanted a Dem Congress in 06 and they got it.
...and he signed the McCain/Feingold bill...
McCain demogogued it to a 70% approval rating...not much Bush could do about that.

Clinton's doings there. What's Bush supposed to do, send troops to kick out the Muslims, just to have Obama send in troops a year from now to kick out the Serbs again?
In the words of Bismark, “the whole of the Balkans is not worth the blood of one Pomeranian grenadier” and my addendum or one American soldier/Marine.
It appears that's close to Bush's position. If the Serbs wanted the Muzzies out, they've had 7 years to do it.

The people that have fractured the conservative base is the conservative base by making the perfect (not perfect in my eyes...kicking out 12 million is a dumb idea...protectionist trade policy is a dumb idea...) the enemy of the good.
