I am going to continue using every opportunity to suggest the time is ripe, today (not after 2012) to challenge the legality and propriety of the dysfunctional presidential primary process, as it has grown up out of the unchallenged notion that the States should finance or regulate the method used by private organizations to select delegates to their national conventions, and federal funding of those conventions.

This process is not traditional, and is likely to be illegal, and it largely stands today as a legacy of "reforms" instituted by the Democratic National Committee under the leadership of George McGovern after 1968 and Jimmy Carter after 1972. (Interesting that both these people went on to win their respective presidential nominations after heading up those reform efforts.)

They became part of the process followed by both parties because Democrats used to control a vast majority of the state legislatures, in the big primary states, and the presidential primaries for Democrats "naturally" became the presidential primaries for Republicans.

Unless we toss out the presidential primary system, as it stands today, we will end up with another Bob Dole or John McCain (or George W. Bush, for that matter) and be left wondering "what happened," yet again before the snow melts in New Hampshire in the Spring in 2012.

Republican establishmetarianists will effectively resist all challenges from Conservative until we quit ignoring the ridiculous and illegal basketball tournament of a presidential primary process...

We quickly forget what a stupid mess that it is just as soon as it is over, and forget also that it needs to be tossed out and replaced with a legal process appropriate to a Political Party.

You're obviously not an ACORN expert, since it was created long before GW came along and it started out, like most things, innocent enough until it was infected by the Marxists in the Clinton administration and Democrat congress. The amount given to ACORN by Bush's HUD was a pittance and I'm sure they would have loved to defund it, but what were the odds of a black civil rights & poverty organization disappearing without a media tsunami?

This effort to permanently trash the Bush presidency has really gotten disgusting and stupid. It also won't work.

In all fairness, don't forget that any restrain Bush tried to put on these people and on lenders generally drew all kinds of attacks from the Liberals. The made him out to be the worst kind of ‘racist’ on earth (among other things) when he urged these entities to demonstrate more accountability.

The whole nauseating Liberal emotional blackmail machine went into their typical, self-induced hysteria and faux humanitarian indignation when Conservatives attempted to force some responsibility on these entities.

Yes, but the Republican party demonstrated that socialism is okay if it is Republican socialism. Look at all the freepers excusing Bush. No wonder Rush thinks that last weekend’s 9/12 event was only directed at Democrats.

I seem to recall that there was a bit of noise from the R’s about ACORN and they were promptly ignored by the LameMedia.....however the great new media has made sure that ACORN will not remain unknown and hopefully unfunded by tax $$s.

President Bush showed his extreme left-wing side in his last 4 years as POTUS.

I dislike Bush and his dad.

He is a socialist.

Why would you say at this early point, before any Republicans are nominated, that you’re going third party? If we can’t win back the Republican Party, how can we win back the nation as a whole?

What's the difference? Bush lied and raised taxes, gave us a host of new programs including the Americans for Disabilities Act, and jacked up spending. Clinton, for all his many sins, actually reduced spending compared to both Bushes. Please tell me one significant different between both administrations.....other than Clinton was ALSO a liar.

Good, I love him too because his getting Obama elected has woken up the minds of many people in this country, the best thing that could have ever happened, now the war is open, everyone knows who everyone else is, it's time to choose sides, and Soro's made a huge freakin' mistake. I'm voting 3rd party, and so are many other Freepers.

***President Bush’s justice department broke banks’ arms to force them to lend money to Alt-A and subprime lenders, ruling that failure to provide equal loan access to illegal alien day laborers at the same rate they gave loans to well-establishd, middle-class, financially sound Americans they would prosecuted for discrimination on the basis of national origin.***

April, 2001: Pres. Bush advocated oversight of Fannie and Freddie. He said, in essence, that it would lead to disaster if they continued as they were going. Bush reiterated this statement 13 times while he was president. Congress, led by Barney Frank and Charles Schumer refused to act. Zero, as usual, did not vote.

Well said, Clinton was the most conservative president since Reagan, crazy but true ....
