I notice you give G.W. Bush a pass you don't afford to his father or Dole. W. has been a disaster for Republicans. And not because of his policy failures, but rather his complete and utter inability to connect and communicate with the American people in any way. He destroyed our brand by seeming not to give a sh*t, even though he obviously does.
It wasn’t intentional. I was just condensing history.
I totally agree with your comment about our current President. A nice enough guy, but an ineffective mass communicator and a non-user of the bully pulpit.
He took entirely too much guff from less worthy opponents, and totally screwed the GOP with his new tone, which was basically a surrender to Democrats.
My last call to the WH comment line was yesterday. I asked when the President was going to take action against the NY Times for AGAIN revealing top secret military information in a time of war, about the order to go into other countries to hunt down Al Qaeda. With calls to my two Senators and my Congressman as well to the same effect.
Just another example of feckless leadership.
