BAGHDAD -- President George W. Bush on Sunday made a farewell visit to Iraq, a place that defines his presidency, just 37 days before he hands the war off to a successor who has pledged to end it

You completely washed away your “through Bush glasses” with me when you said “Harriet Meiers.” I would continue to respond, but that has me laughing too hard to continue. You may have been here since the sight was born, but that does not make you the VOICE of this conservative. You have your opinion of Bush and I have mine. We’ll just leave it at that.
tip-toeing around insurgent-filled mosques and other PC warfare nonsense
I couldn’t agree with you more!
Compean and Ramos are still rotting in prison while mosque terror centers funded by Saudis are opening up all over the country.
It makes my blood boil when I see the BushBots flock to these threads and try to make it appear that Dubya has been a good Preident. Dubya has been a disaster for our country, state and the GOP — and now our economy. Only a BushBot would blindly continue to deny that.
I will never, ever vote for another Bushie for any office no matter who they run against.
Now, I know that many of those who post pro-Bushie messages on these threads are connected to the Bushies and the GOP and are sent here for that purpose. Tell Dubya to get back to Crawford or Dallas before he does any more damage.
Doesn’t everyone look a lot older after eight years.

The lines in his face are deeply etched. I think the financial collapse and the ascendancy of Obama weigh very heavily on his mind.
Laura on the other hand looks virtually the same as she did in 2001.
He dragged us back out of the depths. Terrorists are running away. I thank God for him, may God bless and keep him.
LOL... How does this sound for his plaque, at the Unveiling of his Rushmore Image on Sept 11th 2041.
Because of his unwavering devotion to spreading the idea of Freedom and Liberty throughout the world in the face of harsh political adversity both foreign and domestic. He has successfully laid a foundation for Peace in the world and Peace toward the United States of America this foundation is as solid as the granite from which his likeness is here graven.
“God bless George Bush. a man of courage and character.”

And let the people say; Amen!
Good for the President. I think it’s great that he is saying farewell to the troops.
$$$$$
I think he is also saying thank you to the political leadership in Iraq for a job well done - I bet they have a higher “approval rating” than the American Congress have.
It's a shame conservatives have forgotten the War on Terror.
Despite what you’ve done lately, George-—God bless you. I’m sure the troops will enjoy the visit.
Bush deserves the scorn I have for him.
The cult status of some towards Bush is right up their with the O’s followers.
Merry Christmas.
True. But I wonder how helpful the downthread part really is.
How helpful is knowing little comments like, "Ahmish again! /sarc" or "Guilty!" or "Bush is a sellout!" or "Nobama isn't my president!" or "Don't blame me I voted for Duncan."
In general, FR is little more than a way to "have your say" on Drudge Report articles.
There's very little original posted other than what the MSM determine we should discuss.
What might be interesting is a site that merely allows posting of ACTIONS regarding articles/topics.
For example an article on a leftist could be posted, and his office phone could be posted, and the more pings it gets (and the calls made) the more it gets bttt.
My point is that there's little "direct action" created by FR. In fact, posters' motivation to act in the real political world is probably reduced once they have their say in a FR post.
Thank you so much for your input. Rest assured I will give it all the consideration it so richly merits.
BTW How are things in nutterville? Any Black Helicopter sighting lately? Hows the bunker coming along?
Now, I know that many of those who post pro-Bushie messages on these threads are connected to the Bushies and the GOP and are sent here for that purpose.

Can you name a few of those you know?
Does getting a Christmas card because of a donation to the RNC count?
You need to get on the meds Tugger....
Name any President in History that was dealt the same hand as George W. Bush....
Thought so,
Teddy Roosevelt defined people like you when he said,
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. “
Well said.
Ditto
There are thousands of soldiers and free Iraqis that would disagree.
Oh yeah, tomnbeverly reminded me: "...someone who GRANTED, I will type it again for possible penetration GRANTED, AMNESTY TO 3 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS"
Ronald Wilson Reagan would've lost to Barry Hussein in a landslide in 2008.
The Reagan Democrats have been replaced by Katrina and Detroit union saps. The social conservatives would reject him on abortions, border conservatives would punish him for amnesty, etc etc. The press would play him as an incurious oaf, but Olberman and Jon stewart types would rip into his good humour demeanor. He'd get destroyed today.
