And going lower! Bush and Rove did squander the majority. They are a large part to blame.
This is a well-written and cogent article. His conclusion is sobering but mostly right on target.
Bush 41 did more to squander the Reagan Revolution than Bush 43 has done. Remember David Souter? “Read My Lips”?
If Bush 43 has done anything right, it has been his two eventual Supreme Court choices and his tax cut.
They don’t need us. Those two dopes have had their eye on a Mexican majority.
While I agree with much in this article, I am tired of so called conservatives piling on about an "unpopular war"! It is a war on terror! When is war ever POPULAR? World War II was very unpopular until after the war. Most Americans never wanted the country to get involved with WW II.
Yes, I agree with many of the points of the writer, but stop repeating the sludge from the Harry Reid-Nancy Pelosi-Cindy Sheehan-MSM wing of the country. What good does that serve? It does not add credibility to the argument.
Drudge has a story on his site about how the chicken slaughter (most likely Latino slaves) workers in South Carolina have TB. Our leaders are killing us!
All that said, given the alternatives at the time I would be forced to do it again.
But that was 4 and 8 years ago. I think I am done voting for the most palatable, when in the long run one ends up gaging almost as much.
I really am thinking if the likes of Thompson or Hunter or even Mike Hukabee don't get the office this time that perhaps the power we have in the Declaration of Independence might be the only hope we have for this Republic.
Historically speaking, it is quite common for Congress to swing over to the party opposite the President. I don’t believe we can lay that at the feet of Bush or Rove. It’s just the way things go in this country.
Nope!...still coming apart..not at reconstruction yet. At least not until we get rid of Mel Martinez
He forgot the Farm Bill as a tool to buy the 2002 elections. You can not buy voters, only rent them.
Well, unless you are a Democrat.
For years, I have been preaching in the face of some abuse, here abouts, that Karl Rove was analytically dysfunctional and posed a real threat, both to America and to Republican prospects. I take no joy in being proven right. He has brought us to a desperate pass, and we must rise to the occasion.
Yet, to suggest a ray of hope, consider how rapidly our prospects would improve, if Hillary does get the Democratic nomination, and we nominate a true Conservative, and Mayor Bloomberg takes that as an excuse to field a "moderate," pro-Kennedy immigration philosophy, third party ticket. We clearly would win, as he would split off a sizeable segment of the Clinton vote.

Yep. I've also stated the same for us in California. This stooge governor has set us back a generation & I'm not going to forgive the FReepers that voted for AS. Are you all still happy with your "pragmatic" vote for this sellout?
While I oppose the President on the border issue and amnesty, let’s be fair.
Newt himself blew it when he went after Clinton’s affair with Monica instead of Ron Brown, TWA Flt 800, Chicom bribes and campaign cash, Waco massacre, Ruby Ridge, etc, etc. Then Newt resigning for the very issue we were confronting Clinton on...
Trent Lott was another blower for us. His power share deal with Tommy Daschole was a joke! It certainly didn’t help the conservative movement to have such a weak sister leading the Senate.
The Abramhoff and Foley “scandals” were solely the inventions of the MSM-DNC. If not, then why after the 2006 elections, did they faded off the radar faster than a UFO in a Sci-fi movie?
Killing lots of terrorists in Iraq vice here at home is still a good idea. What’s bad is not closing the borders. for this Bush gets a C-, but not a complete fail.
Pales in comparrison to BJ - Clintoon squandered Reagan's Cold War victory.
I'm so sick of this ridiculous "conventional wisdom" about the response. Bush was ahead of the game and that worthless Gov. Blanco never gave authorization and admits the DNC was telling her to hold off to "embarrass Bush"!
The National Guard and military performed a miracle in the air getting people out of danger flying thousands of missions.
And FEMA performed exactly as it had in every natural disaster - with bureaucratic ineptness. So Katrina wasn't new.
And let's point to the elephant in the room - when talking about Katrina what the press and pundits are really saying is "New Orleans", a dysfunctional city that had warning but, as usual, did nothing.
Bush and Rove gave us no Gore or Kerry Administrations. I don’t care what your opinion of GWB is or has become. We would have been much worse off under either of those bozos.
