Here's you telling sentence:

But under congressional Democratic pressure to keep hands off the Justice Department, Bush did not act.

First, they went after Ashcroft. Using the propaganda arm of the DNC, er, I mean the national media, they demonized Ashcroft until he left. Who on our side fought for Ashcroft?

Next, we had the Plame affair. Once again, the driveby media stood shoulder to shoulder with the Rats and fed the public the falsehood that someone in the administration broke the law by revealing her CIA creds, thus exposing an agent to harm's way. Well five minutes of research shows it was her HUSBAND, the liar Joe Wilson, who did that.

So over the years we've had "He used 9/11 for political gain" and "What did he know and when did he know it" (as if all of Clinton's mistakes were his), "He lied about WMD", "He dissed our allies and the world by unilaterally invading Iraq", "He disobeyed orders while avoiding the draft in the Texas ANG", "His administration purposely exposed a CIA agent to danger for political gain", "He secretly met with Oil companies to plot to screw us all", etc, etc, ad nauseum and I could go on for hours.

I remember during the Clinton days, when he got in trouble over the Lewinsky thing, there was a literal line of democrat congresspersons and ex-democrats waiting to go on TV to declare Clinton innocent and the Republicans and Ken Starr evil. The same type wrote letters and op-eds to the newspapers stating the same daily.

When Bush was assailed, almost constantly now for 8 years over every single issue, where were the Republican congresspersons lined up to go on Chrissy Matthews', Greta Van Susterns's, Wolf Blitzer's, etc, shows? Crickets.

Oh, we did hear tut-tuts from the likes of Arlen Specter, John McCain, John Warner, and other RINOs, but with "friends" like thse, who needs enemies?

No, the Bush admin has to worry about dems in Congress because no conservatives in this country will lift a finger to take on the DNC/DBM and once and for all FIGHT BACK. We've missed so many opportunities to educate and explain, to get indignent and fiery, to persuade, cajole and defend, it's just a shame!

I've heard so many brilliant, passionate, and positive things from FReepers over the years taking on the media, defending the conservative position, attacking the democratic/liberal whine of the day, etc, that could have, should have made it into the body politic but didn't because no conservative horse on our side understands that you've got to fight, loudly and constantly, the leftist bias that is the DBM. We haven't had such a conservative since Reagan.

And now we have a bunch of us who want to blame Bush himself for not single-handedly taking on all of this entrenched leftwing power, with no one at his back and side for 8 years? In a way, I'll be glad when he's gone from the White House just so he can get some rest.

Rant over.
