Tea Party Is Evidence 'Democracy Works,'--President Bush
FoxNews.com ^ | November 5, 2010 | FoxNews.com

The rise of the Tea Party movement shows "democracy works ," former President George W. Bush says in an interview to air Tuesday night on Fox News' "Hannity."

"Here's what I see. I see democracy working. People are expressing a level of frustration or concern and they're getting involved in the process," Bush told Sean Hannity in advance of the release Tuesday of his memoir, "Decision Points."

"And the truth of the matter is, democracy works in America," Bush said.

Mr. Bush is not a man to get in folks way or criticize their action but I always felt in his Heart that Obama and his Socialism may not be what he expected it to be.


The best leaders motivate their people to lead themselves, without any micro-management. The best leaders (and bosses) serve as examples. In theory any organization should not need to see or speak to their leader, executing a realized
good plan that was put into place with the right staff supporting it.

Man, I am so high since we took back the country.

The US Constitution works....

With its checks-n-balances, may I add.
Power To The People as it were !!!

The 'Tea Party' movement may not have eradicated all of the rot of career politicians in this election cycle, but it sent a clear cut message that it will do so eventually. Many rats and rino-rats still remain and it will take time to flush them all out and dump them into the dustbin of history.

The Tea Party is not Astroturf nor even a political party proper .. it is the real deal ... it is US(!!!) -- normal standard Americans who are sick and tired of schlock politicians wrecking our lives with their government money grabs and narcissistic malfeasance and whatever 1960's radical counter-culture nonsense they attempt to foist upon the American people.

'We The People' have HAD IT with them. All of them. And they all gotta go -- Pubbies and Dems alike

"And the truth of the matter is, democracy works in America," Bush said.

If this were a true democracy, Al Gore would have been president.

I haven’t been to Texas since before GWB was governor, but I can assure you that it was in fact Texas at that time. According to many who lived there at the time, it had been Texas for many years prior to that even. :)

I believe all of us here...AND Mr. Bush...know the difference! There is a democratic process that helped the tea party movement to produce wins....and THAT worked!

Bush needs to get out there right now, to counter the MSM meme that's brewing about his opinion of Sarah, and say

“I didn't think much of her in 2008, but in 2010, when I saw how savvy and SMART she is with this election, and how she became the Voice of the Tea Party, and how much she's upped her game, her knowledge and her expertise on foreign & domestic matters, I think she'd be a GREAT POTUS. Compared to Obama, she's Abraham Lincoln!”

You could say... that due to the leadership of the last 16 years that Texas is again its own Country, Sovereign.

Compare the state to other states in the union.

Obama is Bush’s legacy. For those who live in denial about Bush’s true leanings, there is a Bush-Clintoon charity organization which makes hundreds of millions of dollars in the name of charity every time a disaster strikes. Guess they don’t let a crisis go waste. Bush also supported socialized education and his close buddy Karl Rove revealed recently where his true loyalty lay.

One word for 8 years of “compassionate conservatism”

Frustration.

Look at California: Did the Terminator do anything to restore and protect the state? NO

Look at NY: did any of their RINOs do anything to protect and restore them? NO

Look at the Carolinas: are they falling to pieces? YES

Look at Florida: is their electoral situation something out of Peyton Place mixed with Queer Eye for the Straight Guy ? YES

Look at Wisconsin: did they finally say No More Bullshit? YES

I could go on and on.

Privately saying she is unqualified isn’t the same as saying it publicly.

If he did say that those that make it public are violating Bush’s confidences.

Go away Bush! Wait til Fox News Sunday when the 3 hero’s of the RNC start babbling. The air will come out of the balloon quickly when the 3 stooges talk. They are going to outline their plans to keep the Ponzi scheme afloat. Disgusting. The RNC establishment will now come crawling out of the woodwork after we have worked our butts off for two years to save the USA from Obama.

“Go away Bush!”

Indeed. The shrub and his daddy are ‘New World Order’ guys that helped pave the road so that the 0bama-Soros gang could drive us into a One World Government.

The best thing I can say about Bush is that he wasn’t nearly as bad as Obama is...
