Bush never defended himself against leftist trash, so their attacks were allowed to stick. If he’d been more effective in fighting them off and less of a RINO in his actions, he’d have left with an undesputable legacy.
Now he’s just like his father, left us with ANTI-AMERICAN trash in charge due to their failures as communicators and a JACKASS majority in congress due to their weakening of the party. Not sealing the borders and not prosecuting those leaking like a sieve to the NY Slimes will define his legacy, like it or not.
The Bush legacy, both 41 and 43 will be that of rebuilding DUmocrats - especially Clinton’s STAINED legacy.
I saw through him in 2000 before the election or even the primaries.
I can't vote for Bush because of the same reasons I couldn't two months ago. The more he speaks the more clear to me my decission was right. He will continue this nation on it's present course maybe not as fast but in the same general direction.

President Bush has been a good man and for the most part, a great president... for an ungrateful and despicable country.
WE did not deserve his greatness during our darkest hours.
52% of the voting public are going to get what they deserve within the next year or so... and I will laugh at them as they cry.
I will always appreciate the fact that there has not been ONE gun contorl law passed under Bush. That was the reason I voted for him and he delivered.
BTTT
And decades from now our children and grandchildren will still be paying for Bush's mistakes.
(I don't make the rules. I just call them as I see them, even when they go against a man I worked hard to help put in office.)

I don't think so, and we have alot to thank him for, much more than we have Cahtuh to thank for, most certainly.
Maybe a trip to the optometrist is in order! There's just no comparison between the two.
If he'd governed as a conservative, Bush would have been great, but historians will spend decades wondering what happened to his brain after the 2004 election. If Bush thought he was keeping the country safe, while letting 20,000,000 invade us through our unguarded borders and ports; letting us become pauperized by off-shoring our industrial base to the Red Chinese and leaving us in hock to them to finance his wars, then he obviously smoked a lot more dope while he was in college than even he knew.
The only thing good about this drubbing of The GOP is that we won't have to see that conservative "Christian's" simpering face any time soon, and, God willing, conservatives will remember that their future lies with real people like the Gingrichs, the Palins and the Reagans instead of effete, limp-wristed patricians like the Bushes.
And, if I sound bitter it sure as hell is with damn good reason: In 2002 and 2004 conservatism was in the ascendancy, but when the half-wit decided he could piss away his political capital by veering hard to the left, everyone with even half a brain could see the ship was going to hit the iceberg.
I think he will be remembered for his response to 9-11, the WOT, the supreme court justices he appointed, low taxes, among other things, when it comes to POSITIVE aspects of his presidency.
Here’s my list of positive things to remember about the Cahtuh years:
Bush is the best Democratic POTUS the DEMs ever had working for them. He is the worse Conservative the GOP ever had not that he ever was one but some people just would not listen to the truth about Bush in 2000. He did his Pal Teddy proud and left the Conservatives hanging high and dry.
As for the WOT? I'd grade him a D- for ignoring vital Post WW2 lessons and not learning from previous mistakes. I'd give him an F for using the W.O.T. as a reason for pushing every bad idea he had like FTTA. I also give him and the two Sec of DEF an F for sitting on their hands while America's Finest faced Politically Correct Oriented Court Maritals for fighting an enemy that wears no uniform and hides in amongst the civilians. Some JAG Officers needed Convience of the government Discharges. The Bush Administration's silence on this issue was deafening. I give Bush an F for having embedded media in the initial days in Iraq. I give him an F for not letting The Armed Forces of the United States put Saddam to death but instead insisted on a silly civics lesson. How many people died while that man awaited trial? I give him an F for not letting our Armed Forces level Iraq as an example to others like Iran. I give him and F for doing what he said he was clearly against just months after he said it which is nation building.
A wiser and smarted POTUS would have kept his mouth shut and tried covert ops on both Saddam and bin Laden. I give him and his Sec of Defense and F for always getting in Israel's face every time they started cleaning house in the M.E. I give the Road map to Peace an F as it scares the hell out of me trying to force Israel to make peace deals with those seeking her destruction.
I give him an F for using the GOP Majotity in making the office of POTUS far more powerfull than the Founders ever intended while at the same time expanding the federal goverment. I give him and his Pappy both an F for taking the nation further left so the likes of Obama would even be considered for POTUS. A Bush has been in the White House for 12 of the past 20 years of which a GOP congressional majority held power for about 12 of them. What happened? Da Liberal Bush's that's what happened. Politically not much different than Slick Willie.
