“PATHETIC LITTLE PEOPLE!!”
Bush was another LBJ who tried to sink the GOP and may have succeeded (not that the GOP didn’t work on that too). What is there to defend? You think you’re the bigger person for defending someone who sided with Teddy Kennedy against his own party? If being honorable means holding to the oath you took, then Bush was not honorable - he SIGNED CFR after saying he KNEW it was unconstitutional.
He was an LBJ or an FDR, not a Reagan. He believed government was the solution and should be bigger. That is indefensible.
I would oppose this witch hunt on legal grounds if against even Clinton (and Clinton probably DID do things that were illegal, not just unconstitutional like Bush), but I would defend the Office of the President, not the particular politician who occupies or occupied it.
Did you read this article? Do you know what it's talking about?
What is the point of arguing political opinion about an honorable man when our whole country is going down? When we have a Marxist in the WH?
My question is about your priorities.
btw, if you can't see any good in George W. Bush, then your eyes are sealed shut. If you can't defend the sanctity of life, the honoring and respect of our military, the incredible judges appointed, then you are missing some basic priorities.
I'm sorry. But you are.
Amen, and well said! He also said we had to give up capitalism in order to save it.
You are correct...he should NOT have signed it knowing it was unconstitutional. He honestly believed that SCOTUS would shoot it down, apparently not realizing they do not give a damn about the Constitution!
The rest of this story requires one to look at the background and the facts surrounding CFR and to actually THINK for once!
The bill had been in the works for at least 5 years with George Soros behind it and providing the money to push it.
The originators of the bill were McCain, Feingold and FRED THOMPSON! Yes, McCain the so-called republican 2008 presidential candidate and the so-called "conservative grass-roots" candidate that had to be drug out from the moth balls. Many of the same folks that berate President Bush for CFR, which we heard little to nothing about during the '08 election cycle, are the very ones that "recruited" Fred Thompson.
Next, look at the date of the vote on the bill as posted below. I've already highlighted the pertinent information for you.
Think of what was going on at the time. This bill had been ready to go for a long time. Why was this particular time in history chosen for the vote?
Please note what was required to pass the bill. Notice the number of YEA votes??? Had President Bush not signed this bill, they would have voted to override his veto.
If you do not believe that, you may want to go back and research the private war John McCain was waging against President Bush at the time.

I agree with ohioWfan: “PATHETIC LITTLE PEOPLE
President Bush did not come close to being an LBJ or FDR. Get real for once.
You are right, he was no Reagan!
President Bush did not give amnesty to millions of illegal alien invaders, he did not steal more of my hard earned wages at the point of a gun by raising my socialist security taxes and a few other taxes, he did not sic his transportation department on my personal freedoms and the rights of private business.
Finally, the noobie troll got something right.
