We lost. We didn't have a great candidate and Bush has been the worst Republican in office since I was born.
But the real loser is Hillary. The Clintons are done...that is unless Barry nominates Hillary to the Supreme Court.
How so? Please enlighten me?
Not so fast ... there is a quid pro quo in there somewhere but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it withdrawn. Also don’t be surprised if Hillary replaces Dingy Harry. It is the only way she can share power and affix her name to things.
the worst republican president in my lifetime was Whip Inflation Now, RINO Ford.
and all things considered we would be better off with socialist Hillary rather than Marxist, Terrorist loving Obama.
Semi-RINO, Bush Jr gave us Roberts and Alito and for that he is a Great President.
No clearly articulated initial goals or exit strategy in Iraq.. This killed his approval rating. I am/was for the war in Iraq, but the guy never got out and made the common person understand why, when, where.
Spent like a drunken sailer. Rather than go on national TV and fight, he was an appeaser and spent more money than we can print. He failed to reduce govt. spending. Part of this is due to no clear scope of a military strategy in Iraq. The scope was too wide and therefore the price was way to high.
He continued the fight for globalization. His father started this shit. This meant the offshoring of millions of high paying US jobs.
He didn’t do shit about illegal immigration. He sold out because he was afraid to lose the latino vote. Well, guess what, we lost their vote anyway.
Now, he did have a unique set of challenges. 9/11. But he could have had the Republican party smelling like a rose.
He never fought for conservative ideals...plain and simple.
Bill Clinton is the biggest loser. His “speaking fees” will be drastically reduced since they can no longer be used to finance the campaign of the “next president of the United States, Hillary.” His money has dried up. His legacy is set in stone. The machinery of the party has left them at the altar. Even the quality of his skanks will go down.
Last laugh. Hillary on the Supreme Court.
Dunno if she would want the job.
I said it over a year ago, that Obama would beat her. The Clintons are all about power. Obama, on the other hand, is all about deception. The deceiver always wins.
I assume that means you were born since 1976. Ford wasn't bad overall, given the situation he found himself in, but his one Supreme Court justice turned out to be a stealth liberal, whereas GWB has given the country two excellent justices.
You mean to tell me Bush could not have gone on National TV in 2003 or later and used the bully pulpit on what was happening to the Financial markets because of CRA? He could have demanded regulation and audits.
Energy Policies were right but were never explained we are headed to $4.00 a gallon gas if we don't act. SCREAM it.
Agree. Worst 3 of my life (50 years) were Carter, Clinton & Bush.
I agree, Leo.
Thank God the Clintons are out of power. Hillary missed “her turn”, and it will never come again. Now she is just one of one hundred, when she sought to be “The One”.
The other guy who is out of power is Plugs Biden. He has to give up his place on all those powerful Senate committees to do the bidding of Hussein. I expect he’ll be sent to a lot of funerals of foreign dignitaries over the next four years. And he won’t be going home on the Amtrak every night! (Missing “Happy Hour”.)
Hillary wont replace Dingy- the Obamites do not want this woman in Barry’s direct chain of power
But it’s conceivable she is one polyp away from replacing Ruth Bader Ginsberg
I think Obama would probably pick someone younger and even further to the left than Hillary. Anyway, confirmation hearings would dredge up a lot of old scandals: cattle futures, travelgate, etc. Obama doesn’t owe the Clintons anything—they went through the motions of supporting him but just the bare minimum.
Can’t you see Bill as UN ambassador?
Keeps him out of the US- a lot
Keeps him rich and fat on speaking fees
But..........if “something” ( scandal, impeachment, birth certificate....fill in the blanks ) should prevent Barry from continuing in office & Biden has to take over.....who’s the most logical choice for new VP......can we all say “Hillary”!!!! This way she gets to the Oval office ( after Biden then has to step down for health reasons ) without the “inconvenience” of waiting four more years & without spending a penny of her war chest.....( I am now going to put a cold cloth on my head & wait for sundown to imbibe in an adult beverage )....
Hillary’s too conservative for obamalamadingdong to appoint to the SC.
