Is this true or just a rumor. That being said, W. is the most failed Republican President since Richard Nixon, who was the most failed Republican President since Herbert Hoover. All three did great damage to the Republican Party.
It made matters worse having incompetent RINO leadership in Congress followed by moonbat Democrat control (in the latter case, for which Dubya was happy to go along with rather than fight).
Nixon looks like Alexander the Great next to W. and Hoover.
