I think he's done a lot of very good things for the country and our safety and did an admirable job of rising to the challenge of being a war time President. I believe that Saddam Hussein had WMDs and was the threat all believed him to be. Thanks to Bush, he's gone. I appreciate Bush's stance on embryonic stem cell research, his tax cuts and his appointments to the Supreme Court and Federal courts. These are all positive contributions that should continue to benefit us all well past his time in office.
However, his position on illegal immigration and the growth of government and government spending under his watch have done serious damage to our Republic, the economy and to the Republican party. While I do believe he is a good man and that all Presidents make mistakes, unfortunately his mistakes won't soon be forgotten nor overcome.
Bringing dignity back to the WH was one of his greatest feats.
Pray for W, America and our Troops
“Despite vehement disagreements on a number of issues, I do believe President Bush is a decent man who tried to do what he thought was the right thing. “
No question he is a good man. He is just too liberal and confused on a lot of issues to go down as a good president.
“However, his position on illegal immigration and the growth of government and government spending under his watch have done serious damage to our Republic, the economy and to the Republican party.

The rise of illegals is the death of the Republican party. At least the death of us as a conservative party. Go to a North Carolina elementary school. You will see an incredible amount of hispanic children in the younger grades. Most are probably citizens by birth and in ten or twelve years they and millions more like them will be eligible to vote. Think they are going to go Republican?
