"You could make the case that the Bush presidency ended this week,"

"You could make the case that the Bush presidency ended this week, about a year or so ago",,,,there, I fixed it.

“That was driven home when Sens. Richard Lugar of Indiana and George Voinovich of Ohio broke with the administration and said it’s time for the United States to start disengaging from Iraq.”

Since when do we consider these two idiots to be true Republicans?

Let’s look at that domestic policy legacy:

Tax cuts (good), but only temporary (bad)
Ethanol Mandate
Signed CFR after pledging to veto it when he ran for office
Open Borders, less enforcement than even clinton, campaigned for shamnesty (and attacking the base because we didn’t buy into it)
Medicare drug bill
Ted Kennedy “no dollar left behind” education bill
Steel Tariff
Social Security reform? Dropped rather quickly.
Some pretty crappy appointments to key positions
“New Tone” a complete failure
And many others I’ll probably remember after I hit post.

Plus side: Two apparently decent supreme court picks, after having to fight the “trust me” nomination of Aunt Harriet (and being called sexists and elitists for not trusting him)

Guess both the Hard Right and the Hysteric Left have forgotten the word VETO.

Massively wishful thinking from the Knee Jerk Bush haters on both sides of the Asile.

The defeat of the "Immigration Reform Bill" was a revolt of the American people against the politicians in Washington--OF BOTH PARTIES!!!

It was a BIPARTISAN DEFEAT!!!

"The will of the Senate will prevail," said Senator Arlen Specter just before going down in flames over this bill along with Senators of BOTH PARTIES and Bush.

The Information Age has brought these con-artist politicians into clear focus! The American People do not like what they see. The People are furious!

"The will of the Senate will prevail."

Bush losing 'fast track' trade powersPresident Bush loses his power Saturday to seal "fast track" trade agreements without intervention from Congress, where Democrats blame recent deals for sending U.S. jobs abroad. Since 1975, only one other president, Bill Clinton, has been stripped of that trade promotion authority, designed to speed the reduction of trade barriers and open new markets with other countries. Bush won't get it back again, and the next president might not either. House Democratic leaders, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Rep. Charles Rangel of New York, whose Ways and Means Committee handles trade policy, said...

he expressed disappointment that his compromise measure failed.

Compromise measure? There was no compromise measure. More lies from the Bush White House.

Bush could accidentally nuke Chicago and some would still support him.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s very, very strange.

Do you ever actually bother to do any thinking for yourself? Or is mindlessly repeating the slogans from Tancredo the sum total of your intellectual abilities?

The VERY crises you all have been screaming about for the last 4 years now will remain completely unchanged until at least 2009. The only people who won anything here were the Illegals.

However, since you got to vent your hate at everyone in DC because of the miserable mess you made of your pathetic life, I guess maybe it seems like a win to you.

I sense that this so-called 'End of the Bush Presidency' isnt over yet and not by a long shot.

There a lot of time between now and the 2008 elections and a lot of stuff happening in the world esp in the middle-east and the "Bumper Sticker" War on Terror.

I just feel that there is gonna be another chance for Bush to shine (esp for the Republicans) just as he did after 9/11 - I just hope it dont take another 9/11 style terror attack though.

The buzz around Washington today is that the proactive phase of the Bush presidency is over.

If true, that is a small price to pay in order to defeat the suicidal immigration bill. Country before Bush and party.

The humble advice I’d give Dubya is to remember something he surely
heard during his boyhood in Texas:

“Lay down with dogs...get up with fleas.”

His dalliances with the likes of Ted Kennedy demonstrate he’s fogotten
that truism.

It’s tough to be a conservative and root for politicians in the present. Most of the politicians that we talk about these days are the bottom feeders of the political spectrum.Today they’re men and woman who stand up for the Constitution,tomorrow they’ve flipped and are as liberal and socialist as D’Craps !!!

Strategists of both parties say Bush has now moved closer to lame-duck status—especially considering that his popularity is so low, with only about 30 percent of the public approving his job performance.

Yeah, he's only leading Congress by about 5% in the ratings now....

Nah, this sounds more like the Dims mouth piece, even when it cites some Republican senators.

I surely don’t like Bush for his pushing of the amnesty bill, but I’m not going to say it was the end of his presidency. He still has more than a year in the office, and he still can do many things.

To All!

I want to thank all the patriots that put our precious country — and the principles it was founded on — before personalities.

You know who you are.

God bless you!

Do NOT let your guard down!

Continue to be vigilant — as our country is in your hands.
