Yawn...I’ll just wait to see this story tonight on AB...oh never mind.

Assuming that independents constitute about a third of the electorate, that means those who wanted Bush to fail who were independents amount to 10% of the electorate. Further assuming that Democrats make up a third of the electorate, that means that roughly 20% of the electorate who are Democrats wanted Bush to fail. Add those two numbers together and 30% or roughly one third of the country wanted Bush to fail in a time of war.

No one has been his unsparing in his criticism of George Bush on these threads as I have been. I have bitterly complained of his ineptness and unwillingness to fight his corner. I stand by all those criticisms but I think in fairness I must acknowledge that he was always pushing a heavy boulder uphill. Couple the fifth column operating in the State Department and the CIA with one third of the populace and one can begin to see the difficulties which faced George Bush. They certainly were not as grave as those which confronted Abraham Lincoln but then George Bush was obviously no Abraham Lincoln.

[Brilliant]

And the other 49% just won’t admit it.

Republicans bumble and fumble their answers every time they're asked The "Do you want Obama to fail like Rush Limbaugh?" Question.

All they have to say is: "If Obama succeeds, America fails. If Obama fails, America succeeds."

Simple. Instead they bumble their way through it as if they're guilty of something. Or worse, they end up slamming Rush Limbaugh and all the millions of people who agree with him.

"I saw Frank Schaefer..."

Frank is perhaps the most conflicted individual on the publc scene. I wish he could mellow out.

Jeff,

Terrific research.

Thanks.

A couple years back, if you'd go to Google and type "failure" in the search bar and click "I'm feeling lucky", it would bring up everything G W Bush.

Now it brings you to Wikipedia.

democrats are not real Americans.

[calex59]

You’ve got to remember that is only the democrats, you have to figure in the independents also. The news media isn’t counted, but they certainly added to the failure rant!

[Always Independent]

Don’t know of any independents that wanted to see GW fail. Especially this one. But I would have thought that more of the Demons would have wanted him to.

[kabar]

The Dems supported the troops in Iraq but not the mission. We support the President but not his policies. Same difference.

[Rome2000]

Can you believe these fool honkies?

This is the same Frank Schaeffer who entitled his October 2007 blog:

"George Bush: Destroyer of Christians"

It's hard to out-hate little Frank.

[blueyon]

Can we all send this to Drudge, Hannity, Rush and any where else that one could show the hypocrisy of the left.

[bereanway]

Is this the same Francis Schaeffer who wrote “How Should We Then Live” and “A Christian Manifesto”?

[Edgewood Pilot]

“Is this the same Francis Schaeffer who wrote “How Should We Then Live” and “A Christian Manifesto”?

Yes. Franky is his son.

[Edgewood Pilot]

“This is the same Frank Schaeffer who entitled his October 2007 blog: George Bush: Destroyer of Christians...”

Many years ago, Franky Shaeffer (son of Francis and Edith) wrote a powerful book that addressed some of the real problems in America: “A Time For Anger.” The book appealed to socially conscious conservatives.

Franky seems to have made a turnaround with his outlook and philosophy; I hope he hasn’t ditched all his values.

[1curiousmind]

Yes it is. Thta was a great book. I read it in college. It’s been a long time since I had heard/read or seen Frank. It was truly sad to watch.

What struck me is that these people seem to have totally forgotten how they treated Bush right from the beginning.

You remember Bush...”selected, not elected.”

Radio Talk show host Stephanie Miller says Rush should be executed for treason for what he said.

Perhaps 51% of all democrats whould likewise be executed, beginning with Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank.
