1) We won the war in Iraq in a month. Get over it. It's been an occupation and reconstruction ever since, with every jihadi from around the planet coming to wreak havoc. Exacty where we wanted them to go. They have an elected gov't, constitution, oil flowing, a bustling economy and an insurgency/criminal element. We already won the war. Now it takes patience, which the limpwristers do not have. "let's nuke mecca" is for Savage idiots.
2) Token tax cuts? GWB is the biggest tax cutter in modern history, and it is a FACT, not conjecture on my part.
3) Yes, GWB AND the GOP have been bad on illegal Immigration, as has every other single administration back to Eisenhower. ANd the dems??????? MUCH MUCH MUCH worse.
4) IF there is ONE thing you can NEVER accuse Bush of doing is catering to the polls. That is beyond ridiculous.
No, the electionwas not a rejection of conservatism, is was a rejection of Bush by SOME conservatives who have no clue about history, in addition to too many milquetoast candidates.
Bttt
2) Tax cuts were limited by the uncontrolled spending. If government growth and spending would have been properly managed even larger tax cuts would have been possible. I for one and not going to be thankful that the government is only taking 50% of my income.
3) Illegal immigration alone is enough reason to have fired anyone/everyone! The western states are bankrupt, health care has collapsed, law enforcement is under siege, and security is a nightmare!
4) Not driven by polls? Explain the insane support of Arlen Spectre and a host of conservatives that the GOP leadership has crapped on.
Which Pelosi and Harry Reid aren't going to allow.
Although I disagree with part of your basic thesis that it's now just an Occupation and reconstruction. Those going OK to very well. But the jihadies have done enough to allow the MSM to give us another Tet.
