"I will never give Bush his due"
You aren't reading his posts for comprehension, you're just swatting them. Picking one phrase out of a whole paragraph and using it as a peg for a putdown.
You ain't impressing me over here. The man is trying to make a serious point, and you won't even talk to him. And what is all this godfatherly "kiss the ring" stuff, anyway? This isn't Skull and Bones. This is Free Republic, not Kennebunkport. Manor Bush's writ doesn't run here, and nobody grovels before those people.
Maybe that could be why you're having such a difficult time comprehending Keyes intentions.
Let's post the full quote:
"If I continue to look at Reagan's greatness in the times he was given, I will never give Bush his due for the issues he must deal with today.
I also said this in a previous post:
I will still vote for the President and try to get others to do the same.
Let me know if you need that broken down in anyway.
