***... it was just too painful to watch...****

You have just described the MSM destruction of our President, George W. Bush.

He persevered against enemies, foreign and domestic..and was deserted; not because he gave up on us....but because we gave up on him.

FReepers, get your brain around this - Maybe we live in a country where 50% that thinks it’s OK for an openly gay person to join the army. Think about that. To me, that is mind boggling. How can/could a political solution ever be achieved with people like that? The divisions are too deep now. We can hunker down and listen to Rush, post on free republic, won’t do any good, except make us angry. Politics has its limits unfortunatly.

I believe it would be more accurate to say he deserted conservative principles and refused to fight back. Spending, Plame, Gitmo, WMD, Katrina are all examples of these.

Bush is an honorable and decent man and even a good President. But to say that he was abandoned by his constituency is to ignore reality. When he stopped fighting, then I stopped supporting.
