Barf alert.
Yep, and Reagan cutting and running from Beirut after hundreds of our soldiers were killed in cold blood was "showing backbone".....Reagan reneging on his Soc Security reform and increasing FICA taxes was "showing backbone"......Reagan going the complete PC route and appointing the terrible SDO to the SCOTUS was "showing backbone".....
The reality is some on here constantly want to see things through starw-size peep holes and not recognize the reality of seeing the bigger picture. Seeing the bigger picture however is exactly what GWB and Reagan have both done when necessary. It is called leadership. And on the whole both men have shown it in spades.
GWB is a hell of a good man. An incredible CINC and a guy at times that only wants to see the best in other people and not think the worst (which costs him at times).
Increase the voters base with many illegals every year, and then see how well both the Republican Party at every level and the truly conservative politicians at every level end up doing from now on! Nobody can truly rebuild the Republican Party and the conservative movement by completely destroying them! What is President Bush thinking? Grrr!
Oh, boo hoo, the guy can't win, when he tries to bring the Republicans together everyone jumps all over him, usually the same whiners who slap down everything he has done. He has handled the war with courage and conviction but other issues have not been handled with conservative policies. When he says he is going to bring us all together the attitude NOT to take is what I'm reading here, "don't even try, we don't like what you've done". Stop the griping and let's work together to bring our Party back to full strength, we can knock the left on it's collective behind (if we all participate).
It would take the entire federal budget to produce enough Viagra and testosterone.
"Vote Republican. Because we aren't quite as bad as the other guys" is hardly a slogan to build a party on.
Thanks, Mr. President, but perhaps you should leave that noble task to conservatives, lest the next "Republican Majority" will have to change their symbol from the elephant to the rhino. But please do keep up the good work on the WOT and economy.
Let's see, 2 years, 2 years....oh I get it, he'll be out of office in 2 years.
He's dreaming.
"I'm from the Government and I'm here to help"
"I'm from the Party and I'm here to help"
Mr. President, to paraphrase your father's Waterloo--READ MY TAGLINE--NO NEW AMNESTIES.
That this nation has growing segment of people with your mindset, that don't put a high on value the decency of a man and the character of his resolve (even if you don't always agree).....is why this nation is breaking...
GWB has been a hell of a CINC in a time period when this nation needed exactly that. A strong CINC.
The loyalty shown back to him by "true conservatives" speaks volumes about their own narcissism complexes.
He was a great leader but he made mistakes like Bush. They're humans. We cannot expect them to be perfect all the time despite what some FReepers think.
Isn't the definition of insane....doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome?
That this nation has growing segment of people with a mindset, that doesn't put a high value on the decency of a man and the character of his resolve (even if you don't always agree).....is why this nation is breaking...
Thanks, How'd I manage to leave that big one off.
You have it exactly right. The reality is both Reagan and GWB have been great leaders and on the whole did very well for this country. The United States was lucky to have such men as POTUS/CINC.
Was this in the Onion?
"Stop the griping and let's work together to bring our Party back to full strength, we can knock the left on it's collective behind (if we all participate)."You're right, of course, Rockie.
After all the cussin' and cryin', we must come to the sober reality that THE DEMOCRATS ARE INFINITELY WORSE than the Republicans could possibly be.
However, President Bush and the Republicans should be made aware that we, the American people, are furious with their behavior.
9/11 was never repeated--because of President Bush and his leadership.
The Bush tax cuts stimulated the U.S. economy to unprecedented heights of prosperity.
President Bush has set a high standard of personal behavior, in sharp contrast to his predecessor.
For all these things and more, he is to be praised.
However, he has made it clear that he has no intention of closing the Mexican Border, halting illegal immigration, or protecting the lives and property of American citizens who live along the border.
He has ignored the Supreme Court's ridiculous "Eminent Domain" decision, despite the overwhelming disapproval of it by the American people.
He has expanded the size, reach, and budget of the Frankenstein's Monster that the U.S. Federal Government has become, increasing its threat to liberty, justice, and the American people, even to the extent of adding prescription drug benefits to federal entitlements.
And, worst of all, through sheer foolishness and because of the failings I have just mentioned, he handed Congress to the dangerous, decadent, anti-American Democrats on a silver platter in 2006 and placed the Presidency and Congress in jeopardy in 2008!
For these reasons, the President and the rest of the Republicans have earned--and deserve--the fury of the American people! And they have it!
NOW! That said, we the SANE American people must take to heart the wise advice of Rockiette and think of the future--not the past.
The Democrats must be defeated! The survival of the United States and the American Dream and the future of our children depend upon it.
Think positively. Pray for America. And work as though your life depended upon it--because it does--to defeat the decadent, destructive, insane, anti-American Left--and its Political Machine, the Democrat Party!
I know exactly how you feel, NS, but see post #39. What else can we do?
