what a joke.

You voted for Bush twice and you can’t name ONE policy of his that has changed.

Every thread here on FR turns into a “why we hate Bush” thread.

So, I’ll ask this in every post.

tgusa, name one policy of Bush’s (and, specifics, please) that has changed?

Baloney? You deny he worked with Kennedy on Shamnesty?
and you deny he ignored his base (again)?

Welcome to FRepublic, newbie.

How about:

President Bush(2001):

“You’re either on our side or the terrorists’ side”.

Unlike most of you calling yourselves conservatives here on FR (I have been told and DO believe that most of you are simply DUmmie plants with internet longevity), Bush IS the one fighting terrorism.

So again. What policy of Bush’s has changed?

OK, you win. He never intended to protect the border, even after 9/11. You win, I was wrong to vote for him twice. You win, us conservatives are all knuckle-dragging throwbacks. You win - I’ll cast my vote for my congresscritter, who has proven himself to be a true conservative. You Bushbots disgust me. THINK.

It’s the old “My party/prez, right or wrong” nonsense. I’m loyal to my country not some politician.

[.. What I suspect is one of two things. Those of you bashing Bush just don’t have the guts to actually stand up to the media and liberals who are interchangeable, or you were never Bush voters in the first place. ..]

You have a point.. I'm not too smart.. I voted for Bush Sr., Bush Jr. and his brother in Florida multiple times..

By the way what does "I'm a Unite'er NOT a Divide'er" MEAN???..
The boy has been unite'in with democrats since the year 2000...
You know, like his daddy..

Gallagher has this backwards.

The President abandoned us, it was a disasterous decision, and now after the Amnesty insanity, he wants us ‘back’.

To late.

I won't stop my support for the war on terror, but if Bush pushes for things that are bad for the country, I will not support him in that.

The RINOs in Congress that are no longer supporting the war on terror were never really genuine supporters of it in the first place. Supporting it was a political expediency just as it was for many Democrats.

Bush is blatantly failing to fill his duties as the head of the executive branch by refusing to do more than token enforcement of our immigration laws, and by effectively inhibiting the enforcement of many of them.

On the other hand he is doing a much better job at fulfilling his duties as Commander in Chief in prosecuting the war on terror, and I support him in that in as much as he is working to protect us.

I will not offer continued, blind support for this or any other President. I am hoping that the next elections will put a President in office that will faithfully enforce our immigration laws and faithfully prosecute the war on terror. I have had enough of Bush's compassionate conservatism.

While I believe that Bush is in general a good man, he has sacrificed his integrity for his particular ideals about illegal immigration and other social issues. He is failing to execute the laws that Congress has passed. He has either blinded himself to reality, or is being extremely dishonest about the immigration laws he is supporting.

I appreciate a great many things that Bush has done for this country, but he has also done a great many things wrong. No man is perfect, but I think we need a different, if still person, in that office that will secure our borders as well as fight to keep us secure from terrorists abroad.

Gallegher is so wrong on this; FIRST of all, Byron York did not say conservatives should throw Bush under a bus. All York said was the same things here: That Bush has abandoned the GOP base on many things and has failed to act like a conservative, so therefore, conservatives are naturally going to look elsewhere.

Bush tried to give the country away to 20+ million illegals in an act that would have effectively eliminated our sovereignty.

He ought to be thrown out of office for dereliction of duty.

Fool me once...

The President tossed his base aside like used toilet paper. I feel no loyalty to this man. If he would LEARN to really listen to others' opinions and build the damn fence he was supposed to and start defending our country from these illegal invaders, I could get past his initially trying to jam shamnesty down our collective throats. But, he is too stubborn, so I don't really see him doing anything but trying again.

Did you excuse R.R of losing our large majority in the Senate in 86 because he "wasn't a leader" or a "true conservative".

When RR took office in 1981, the Reps held the Senate 53-46-1 and the Dems held the House 242-192-1. When he left office the Dems held the Senate 55-45 and the House 258-177.

When GWB took office in 2001, the Reps held the Senate 50-50 [until the Jeffords defection] and the House 221-212. When he leaves office the Dems will hold both the Senate and the House.

The Rep majority in the Senate under Reagan never exceeded 8 and prior to the 1986 election, it was just six. GWB enjoyed a 55-44-1 majority in the Senate in the 109th Congress and a 231-202-1-1 majority in the House. Reagan never had such control over Congress.

“He ought to be thrown out of office for dereliction of duty.”

****

And I guess you’re going to join in with the impeach Bush/Cheney crowd too.

Like those folks, you don’t have a legal argument to stand on.
