Republicans lost because they took the pious wimp approach to politics. The GOP played politics by Marquess of Queensbury rules of civility, while the Democrats used guerrilla tactics.

And it was reflected Bush's same attitude in conducting the war in Iraq

He is a man of integrity but not up to the job at home or abroad

He showed himself way back in the 2000 primary with that dumb Compassionate Conservatism and stayed the course

GOP voters fear and hate of the democrats could only last so long

I hope all those on this site that castigated us so called Bush Bashers have seen the light

Rove ain't no political genius

I understand your frustration but bottom line he is our President, he is the Republican President and by sitting out of this election we did not help our cause.

Problem is, the same advisors are in place as were during the Viet Nam fracus, behind the scenes, but still calling the shots. What happened to the tried and true "go in there, and get 'um, and get out"? It worked up through WWII. (Although I do not think it is the duty of the US to reconstruct!)

I agree whole heartedly.

Don't worry wayward Bush-bots we forgive you your trespasses against us (Reagan Republicans) as we enter into the fight with the Democrats in 2008.

Reagan Rules !!!!
