Not to worry...you're mostly amongst FRiends and like minded individuals here.A few here may smarmily call you a "Bushbot";however,take no mind of them.President Bush isn't perfect,but he and his team are superior to anyone else out there and head and shoulders above many past presidents.
Unfortunately,some here prefer the mythologized Reagan to his true,factual self/accomplishments.
No,Reagan was NOT "more Conservative" at all.He was a good president,some may even say GREAT;however,there have been several threads and portions of threads which have compared the accomplishments of both first terms and Reagan is in no way more Conservative.
Let them call me a Bushbot. It beats being a sKerrybot hands down.
Head and shoulders above the rest...I agreed whole heartily.
I'm sure Reagan was a great president, but my first choice will be W.
Barnes is a shallow, second-rate political analyst.
Krauthammer is far better.
I agree. The "Evil" Karl Rove is already taking aim at a 60-seat Republican Senate after the '06 election.
Where the hell will the seats come from?
Still and all,when all is said and done,he has been and no doubt shall continue to be a president who agrees with my views/positions more than he and I part ways.And THAT really is all any of us can hope for.
It's mostly fingers,who call people such as you and me "Bushbots". Pay them no mind at all.They only imagine that they are right about everything...they aren't.
Reagan was a very good president;however,I do believe that President Bush the younger is more Conservative and will get much more Conservative goals realized than Reagan did.
Fortunately, there have been a ton of books in recent years about Reagan and his presidency. I'd recommend WHEN CHARACTER WAS KING by Peggy Noonan, and RONALD REAGAN -- HOW AN ORDINARY MAN BECAME AN EXTRAORDINARY LEADER by Dinesh D'Souza. Those would be good places to start learning of the great man.
I tell my hubby, we will see the core of Bush now, he can't be reelected for a third time. He'll really shine in all that he wants to accomplish. He doesn't have to try and pander to liberals now....he can ignore them and be himself.
Both good books.
I've heard of the one by Peggy Noonan but not the other.
With bigger majorities in both Houses,the president should be able to get more things done this term. :-)
We'll see.
The "Bushbots" are on the right side of history. The naysayers won't even be a footnote in the history books in 100 years, and yet in 2100, the world may still be feeling the effects of George W. Bush's presidency.
Hope you and yours had a lovely Thanksgiving.
From the "RED" states that still have Dem Senators,who are up for re-election in '06 and inroads made in some now "purple" ( counted as blue states,but which are really mostly RED!)ones. :-)
In 2008, no more illegal alien apologist from Texas!
