Yes, you are the only “TRUE” conservative. So please tell us us just what Bush could have done, since you are so much smarter than he is. Actually, if you look point by point, he is not that much different than Reagen was.
1. Strong defense
2. US first among the foreign nations
3. some attempt to deal with illegal immigration ( reagen didn’t touch that one!ha)
etc.

for your information, the sky WAS falling..not that it was Bush’ fault, but I guess you would rather let the whole economy go into the tank.And of course, THAT would be better...it would REALLY teach those libs a lesson as we headed to a depression.

Oh, how intelligent of you to make the very oh so clever comment about how I should do a little more recovering. Gosh, who would have thought of that clever remark? Tell me , you must be a writer of great thought!

Go start your own site if you want only the two or three hundred other “true conservatives” that think just like you do.

As for the auto bailout..it was sheer brilliance on Bush’ part.Now Obama has to deal with the unions right after he is Pres, or let the auto industry go down. so, go over to the true conservative sites, while we grown ups try to keep conservatism going in the REAL world.

His successor will follow the same policy already in place - and why not? The war is ending itself.

LOL! I should finish reading the page before asking questions!

Hi LUVVY! R&R is almost over. But it sure has been fun. We even got out to humblegunner's and blew up a few things about a week ago.

Merry Christmas to you and yours and an extra hug for little Piper.

Well then, why are YOU here? It seems to me that there are a number of people here who are appreciating the Pres. and saying good-by. If you don’t like it, why don’t you go start another thread of your own and crab! You have the right, go for it! But “Bush-bots have the right to be here too!

After all, I really don’t see a sign on “Free Republic” that says this board is only for those who bash the Pres.. Is your name on it, does this board belong to you? Nowhere does it say that the so-called “Bush-bots” have to leave. It says it’s a conservative forum for conservatives. Not just for “Bush-bashers”, so there!

Oh so now he’s a “left-wing nutcase”? For crying out loud! Because he doesn’t handle the economic issues the way you want, he’s a left-wing nutcase now? Good grief, can’t you see yourself and your insinuations you’ve made? I and most other people on here never have and never will support a “left-wing nutcase”! That’s insulting and you’ve gone too far for me!

You’re not going to win too many over on this thread with that attitude. Maybe you need to knock that enormous, hateful chip off your shoulder. Who knows? Maybe you’ll win more friends other than the ones in your cult of “I hate Bush and his supporters”! Oh yes, in my opinion, that’s also a cult!

Yeah, I wonder if these people think there really is such thing as “Superman”? I’d swear they do! Sadly, there isn’t. I guess they just have to face the fact that they’re only going to get imperfect humans in the WH.

IIRC, last time we posted, the trolls were amongst us then too.

Yes, they seem to think that what they have to say is soooo important. ;-)

Bush is no conservative is my point. After his re-election he turned his back on his conservative base.

And yes, Bush supporters appear to now be the same nind set as O’s cult of personality followers, he has done no wrong.

Until the party addresses the big mistake Bush and his group of cultists were we can not heal and move forward.

Last night Rove was on Fox stating that he doesn’t think O met with or spoke to Blagovich about his senate seat. Yet there are two newspaper articles from 11/5/08 concerning the meeting.

“Because he doesnÂ’t handle the economic issues the way you want, heÂ’s a left-wing nutcase now? “

Nice spin, no not because he didn’t handle the problem the way I wanted him to.

But because he handled it the way a socialist/marxist aka left-wing nutjob. Bush NATIONALIZED our mortgage and finance industry, and now is trying to nationalize the auto industry.

Only a republican could do this, and he sold us out as you slow learners will find out.

Anyone that suppoorts these actions are no doubt leftists.

FoxNews is showing the video of the guy throwing shoes at President Bush at that presser in Iraq.

My question is this:
How did the Secret Service allow the guy time to get a 2nd shoe thrown?
He should have been dead by the time the first shoe reached the podium.

Really? I greatly support President Bush but I and 99% of his supporters are not a cult.

So what do you want to do to us?

“So what do you want to do to us”

If hold hold any of his socialist beliefs you should become what you really are at heart, a democrat!

So make a list of everything you hold dear that happens to be socialist and move on.

Good-bye in other words.
