BAGHDAD -- President George W. Bush on Sunday made a farewell visit to Iraq, a place that defines his presidency, just 37 days before he hands the war off to a successor who has pledged to end it

President Bush is not a socialist and neither are those who support him. You are losing it and you behaving like a nut on this thread.
“President Bush is not a socialist and neither are those who support him. You are losing it and you behaving like a nut on this thread.”
Now that is too funny. As I have asked list all of his great deeds that are not socialist at their core.
1. Prescription drugs for elderly[redistribution of wealth]
2. Borders[welfare and redistribution of wealth to illegals]
3. Bailout of Freddie and Fannie[nationalization of mortgage industry]
4. Bailout of banks[nationalization of the banking industry]
5. Bailoutout of auto industry[nationalization of auto industry]
6. After promising to veto McCain/Feingold he signed it[attack on free speech] stalinist at it’s very core!
7. Doubled the size of the Department of Education[the left uses this department to brainwash our children about the evils of capitalism and free markets, not to metion the homosexual agenda]
8. Roughly doubled the size of government{God that speaks for itself]
Now that list should start you off, so please add any you can think of. But you probley can’t becasue you don’t know what socialism is do you?
Alia, you can believe anything you like. Reality is reality.
You know, I try to keep an even keel whether it’s a Democrat or a Republican in there. If it’s a Democrat and he screws up, I address it. If it’s our guy and he screws up, I address it. I do not try to gloss over our failures, and Bush will go down as a massive failure on a number of levels.
What do we gain by glossing over a loser? Can’t we be honest with ourselves? Obviously not!
We spend decades in the wilderness waiting to have the White House, the House, and the Senate. We finally get it, and this is what we get for the effort.
If the performance of Bush satisfies people who consider themselves died in the wool Conservatives, then our nation is so far gone it’s pointless to discuss these matters any longer.
He appointed two great judges to the US supreme court and many several judges to the federal courts.
He has been the biggest pro-life President since Roe Vs. Wade.
He signed the law to ban partial birth abortion.
With every word you write you sound more and more like a hysterical liberal. You can’t think for yourself and can only parrot what other liberals say and cannot debate anyone without making personal attacks.
It’s a shame FR has collected so many of you.
That arch-socialist Dick Cheney was just on Rush explaining why the actions with Freddie, Fannie, and the banks was necessary, and he thinks they made the right decision.
Are you going to tell me you think Dick Cheney is a socialist?
Bwahahahaha!
By the way, Bush campaigned on prescription drugs and immigration reform. If you felt “betrayed” you have no one to blame but yourself, because it was right out there at almost every campaign stop. You should have voted for Gore...and somehow, I think you did.
I haven’t voted democrat since I started voting. I first voted for Nixon, voted republican every since.
“Last night Rove was on Fox stating that he doesn’t think O met with or spoke to Blagovich about his senate seat. Yet there are two newspaper articles from 11/5/08 concerning the meeting.”
Sometimes it feels like I’m living in a Twilight Zone episode and hope I wake up soon. They actually seem to be helping the other side. This is how I felt for most of G’s presidency. I kept wondering what the other side was holding over his head.
I feel the same about McCain. Just more of the same. It’s not enough for them to just keep quiet, they have to actually make statements defending the undefendable. It’s just bizarre.
I can hear the music playing now.
I know exactly how you feel. do, do, do, do do. Twilight Zone!
Well, you sure don’t sound like it.
I live in one of the most conservative districts in Indiana. I know lots of people, and a heck of a lot of conservative Republicans.
The only people I know who sound like you are my union democrat brother and a liberal professor who lives down the street.
You really need to review your presentation skills.
And I think that when Dick Cheney says the intervention in the market was necessary, you should re-think your position.
Cheney isn’t one to do something like this cavalierly, nor would he go on Rush’s show and support it if he didn’t believe in it.
BTTT ....
Things are slow over at “Wide Awakes,” doncha know?
The Coven is creeping back in here, one by one.
“And I think that when Dick Cheney says the intervention in the market was necessary, you should re-think your position.

I usually try to think for myself. In this case the first time I heard Dick Cheney say this I laughed. He’s being loyal nothing more or nothing less. Who the heck knows what he really thinks? The guy has been practically mute the past 8 years. How much have we ever heard from Dick Cheney?
He was another bone thrown to the conservatives. He’s an elderly man with poor health an old fashioned ideas about loyalty to the president he served under. Do you take his comments literally?
He most likely just wants to retire in peace and quiet and is hoping and praying that the liberals won’t prosecute him for war crimes. He isn’t about to start making waves now by disagreeing with Bush for the first time in 8 years.
There isn’t a bulldozer big enough to plow through all of the bs that is slung around Washington.
I’m sure the bailout was necessary. For some people. But was it good for our country? Was it good for the taxpayer? Was it even the right and moral thing to do? Was it necessary VP Cheney for all of that liberal pork to be added to the taxpayer’s burden? I’m waiting to hear how that was necessary.
But because a seasoned elderly retiring Washington policitican gets on TV and tells the media that it was necessary you think he really believes it and you believe it too.
Anyone can say they are a conservative. But I don’t pay much attention to that. I wait and see how they conduct themselves and if they really live what they profess to believe. I can’t say that aside from Sarah Palin I’ve run across many of them.
Even Sarah is doing the soft-shoe supportive political speak and not saying one bad thing about John McCain. Do you think that she agreed with everything he said and did?
Ronald Reagen is dead.
get over it. You would have been bashing him for not dealing with the Illegal Immigration scene that he sure kept going.
and how many abortions were there with Reagen?
a president is not “Daddy”...he doesn’t have much power, certainly not with conservatives just bashing him in congress and here on Freep and not supporting him once they find out “Daddy’ can’t overturn Roe v Wade. Yeesh.
I have spent years watching Dick Cheney. When he doesn’t agree with something, he doesn’t say anything, but he doesn’t go on RADIO (Rush is not on TV) and support it. He would simply keep his mouth shut.
I find it amazing that people are characterizing a loan like money is being given. I also find it amazing that people think that this wasn’t necessary.
It’s real easy to make statements that “the auto companies should be allowed to fail in the free market” when your income doeosn’t depend on the auto companies. I am not talking about the UAW. I am talking about the dealers, the suppliers, and all of their employees. Congressman Steve Buyer (who you might remember from the impeachment trial) is my congressman and was on local radio explaining to a huffy loud-mouth radio host that every small town in central Indiana has a supplier, and in several of these small towns those factories are the principal employer.
Buyer voted for the auto bill for this reason.
I really don’t care how insulting you want to be, which seems to be characteristic of the anti-Bush faction here on FR. I suppose you think it scores points, but it doesn’t impress me. When something is going on in Washington we aren’t privy to all of the details, and about the only way we can decide which side to fall down on is by looking at the people who support an issue and the character of those people.
I have never known Dick Cheney to lie. Your characterization of him as an old man with old-fashioned ideas of loyalty is quite patronizing.
I frankly don’t care what you think. And I would place far more trust in Dick Cheney’s opinion than that of an anonymous person on the internet.
You really don’t pay attention, do you? I have been here all along. I post on several sites, and now that the election is over I am going to speak my mind.

Who is going to bail out all the other companies? Why should we just be worried about the auto-workers jobs? There are alot of people losing their jobs and no one is going to be bailing out the companies that they work for.
I’m amazed that anyone who calls themself a Republican would think it is a good idea for the government to be poking it’s nose into private industries like this.
A company should be successful or fail on it’s own merits. If the government had stayed out of the auto industry in the first place they may have had a chance of competing against foreign auto companies. More government is not the answer.
Our founding fathers are dead too. And sure enough, it seems alot of people want to forget what they stood for as well.
And whose money is the government loaning? It’s yours and mine. Taxpayer money. The government does not make it’s own income. They are using our money and most Americans are against this bailout. But to hell with what the people want, once again.
Government by the people for the people? BAH HUMBUG! Jefferson and Adams are dead. Get over it!
I wasn't aware that you had ever stopped.... sweetness.
