But Pres Bush's major failures (in the eyes of the "far right") certainly were not a part of that "deal"... failing to enforce immigration laws and protect the border... signing CFR, even after ackowledging that it may be unConstitutional... failing to support conseravtives over Republican incumbents in November... not opposing the liberal lies regarding Iraq...

I can see the immense budget bloat being part of the deal, but the rest certainly is not.

The man is shouldering the security of the world. I can't see adding to his burdens and thinking it's a good idea to punish him. Yes before 9/11 he could be bashed but not now.

Yes, he made mistakes, but none fatal to our national security, in my opinion.

CFR turned out to be a pain, but then we might not have had the Swift Boat Vets for Truth. They put paid to any hope of Kerry getting elected.

We wanted legislation from him, but it was not going to be forthcoming from our elected dunces. He needed more support and he didn't get it from the right side of the aisle. He tried for social security reform and there she was, hitlery, standing and applauding that he didn't get reform.

He had no choice but to support Specter. He got some much needed votes from the bum before the election that he would never have had if the President supported Toomey. And you have to give Specter credit for getting the judges thru the committee.

We have to take the political situation for what it is......not what we want it to be.

Every small bone given to conservatives was offset by bigger bones to the liberal opposition. Include the Dubai ports & Harriet Meirs & Bubba with papa Bush.
