I very much admire President Bush.

His work reflect a far greater intelligence than that shown by his detractors.

I AGREE! I am getting awfully tired of all of this Bush bashing. I guess that the fools would prefer the other guy!

I very much admire President Bush.

Can you tell us why?

Can you cite examples?

[NTHockey]

Either that is sarcasm or delusion.

I REFUSE!

And I very much don't admire El Presidente Jorge Bush. I think he has done far more damage to the United States than have Jane Fonda, John Kerry or Jimmy Carter.

Well please educate us about Ted Kennedy's third immigration bill, which will dilute the Conservative movement and any concept of limited government, probably forever.

I voted for the guy twice. I do admire his performance on foreign policy, and there's little doubt that he was the right person at the right time when 9/11 happened.

On the other hand, his traitorous immigration policies are absolutely stupid and horrific, and he needs to have his feet held to the fire because of it.

I think you'll find his plummeting popularity on FR and across the country is due mainly to his moronic immigration stance, and he deserves every bit of criticism he gets on the issue.

I don't feel a damned bit sorry for him.

I agree with you both. Could there have been a “better Bush”? Certainly. But I believe he has accomplished a tremendous amount against daunting resistance.

You can’t possibly be serious. No rational thinking adult American who loves his country could possibly admire George Bush.

True, but that's no great task (joking).

To be critical of the President is completely understandable and no doubt correct, since no statesman is perfect. To fail to see that this president has stood on principle on virtually every issue, and has thought through even those issues one disagrees with him on, is to fall into the sort of sweeping knee-jerk attack that is typical of leftists rather than conservatives.

The fact is, President Bush has held the line on taxes, on protecting the unborn, on the war on terror, etc., etc., etc., out of principle, forethought and conviction. President Bush could have easily coasted, popularity-wise, on the success of Afghanistan and left Iraq to his successor. President Bush could have pulled an Arnold and gained numerous plaudits from the press for compromising with Democrats on taxes, stem cells, etc.

He hasn't.

The fact is, on immigration President Bush not compromising with Democrats--- he is acting on the same principles he ran on, and that he employed as Governor. I agree he is wrong on this issue, but, (contra Dawkins)it is really is possible to be wrong on one issue (or even more than one--- imagine that!) without being ignorant, stupid, insane or wicked.

That's because his masters are aliens from some galaxy far, far away. They tell him what to do. That's probably why you are confused.
