I heard Rush when he was talking about this.
He must have been on the topic of Free Republic for several minutes. It was refreshing to hear him talk about Free Republic and the early days when folks here were upset that the Republican Party wouldn’t stay true to it’s ideals.
He said we were the first people to go there. He also touched on the fact that a good portion of us were chagrined by Bush’s big spending.
I’ll see if I can’t pull that sound down, and make the clip available. It was definitely worth the listen.
Did my heart good.
FR launched a lot of careers..those WERE the days..
Somewhere I have a pic of Mr. Cigarman..
When I first began hearing Bush talking about how he “reached across the aisle and worked with the Democrats in Texas” when he was Governor, I thought, “Ha! You reached across the aisle, and you still have a hand left?” - But, then he happened, and he continued to reach across that one-way street aisle, allowing Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to lead him around by the nostril. I didn’t like it; but he was all we had, and he did hang on to a few things - but not nearly enough. Even now, I find him to be too cooperative with Obama’s photo-ops. Also, Jeb’s connection to the Latino contingent is just too muddled..
