Thanks for your brave insertion of sanity to the discussion.

Marxist Fascist

There are not technically fascist yet. Why? Because it takes fervent Nationalism to be a true fascist. But just let some state or states decide to actually cut the cord and secede, you will see the passive marxist "flower children" that run fedzilla now turn into the biggest warmongers in the world.

My strategy has worked FAR better than your strategy.
You have yet to get even one person elected, to any office in the country.

Thank you all!

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks! Had intended on commenting, but the thread already devolved into more Bush bashing. I’m outta here!

No one "makes" a party and no one ruined a party; and if all W did was protect the U.S. from Islamic fruitcakes for 8 years, he'd still be a hero in my book.

That is no excuse whatsoever for the actions of anyone else; and certainly they all make choices, made them two years ago, and are making them now. Stop shifting blame. There is little doubt that Bush weakened Republicans, but that is all he did. They have no one to blame but themselves if they give Cass Sunstein a pass.

The republicans basically lost it after '96 with Dole's campaign. They continued to run one RINO after another in the hopes of currying favor with the media. The only reason Bush won was because Al Gore was so abysmal and Bush ran as a conservative.

The GOP still hasn't learned, with McLame being the latest disaster. The only spark of life they had was Palin and she was trashed almost as much by her own party as by the democrats/MSM. I don't think 3rd party is the answer because all that does is guarantee election of what we don't want.

The only bright spot I see is in the tea party movement. You can tell its having an effect by the way the drones on MSNBC and the like attack it. The only thing our Mau-Mau president fears is a mass rejection by the American people. I only hope & pray that we don't lose hope and we keep up the pressure through the tea party movement. /rant

Whatever. the GOP in Congress really screwed the pooch. Never ending spending increases...they completely abandoned Bush in early 2005 leaving him high and dry on social security reform. Bush is not without blame, but this finger-pointing is ridiculous. The GOP as a whole abandoned the idea of limited government..a majority opinion in this nation.

[LS]

Give it up. Bush kept the country safe for eight years; and there are, or have been, over 250 elected Republicans NOT named Bush, and at ANY time ANY ONE of them could have emerged as a leader by merely doing the right thing.

Criticism here belongs in one place only, OBAMA, who is nominating these lunatics. If Republicans spent half as much time attacking OBAMA as they do Bush, we wouldn't even be talking about this crap.

Criticism here belongs in one place only, OBAMA, who is nominating these lunatics. If Republicans (and conservatives) spent half as much time attacking OBAMA as they do Bush, we wouldn't even be talking about this crap.

I changed my mind (a woman's prerogative) and returned to make a comment after all. Luckily I read your post and saw that you had already articulated my thoughts perfectly! Thank you.

And both Bush POTUS weren’t RINOs?

[snowrip]

It is the fault of the people who elected the rinos. Stop with the blaming Bush mantra.

By your rationale, Bush was not responsible for any of his actions while in office... it was all the fault of the voters. You need your head examined if you actually believe this utter nonsense.

[mad_as_he$$]

Then why don't you tell the Reps leadership to get out and attack 0? The one party system is a failure. Oh and W kicked me out of the party two years ago. Cost then about $500,000 I used to bundle and my personal support. I do not go to party functions and I will not darken the door of the party offices. After all I am a racist - can't have that in the party.

[JaneNC]

Sounds like MSM to me.
Drinking the kool ade ....eh?

It is tiresome and boring.
The fact is Congress ...the GOP are intimidated by Obama.
I think it is stupid to blame Bush for the lack of action of Congress.
What about the CIA memos?
What about international gun control?
What about being anti Israel.

It is just stupid to blame Bush for everything.
And 8 years of that shizzle is enough.

[JaneNC]

The liberal tactic of assaulting ppl who do not agree with you is obvious.
Personal attacks...because I am not a Bush basher?

I think you need your head examined if you think everything about the GOP is Bush’s fault.
Talking to a liberal is like talking to my dog.
Reminds me of this discussion.

[snowrip]

Had intended on commenting, but the thread already devolved into more Bush bashing.

I see. So, if anyone criticizes Obamessiah based upon a rational summation of his actions, it must be Obama-bashing, too. Right? And if anyone criticaized Clinton for WhitewaterChinesecampaignmoneyLewinskynucleartechnologyBinLaden, that's Clinton-bashing, because we all know none of those things actually happened.

Bush was a globalist fruitcake who weakened the US from within. He did this by weakening the republican party through an embrace of the utter idiocy of "compassionate conservativism", and through total lunacy on a host of issues from amnesty to forcing TARP money on the banks. What good is an A+ in the WOT if you undermine the institutions the WOT is supposed to protect?

[Plumres]

I can not think of a single Republican Senator that is worth saving. I think all the RINOS should be primaried and kicked to the trash bin of history.

[central_va]

Look, I am beyond caring anymore, our fellow Americans want socialism. The republic is dead, notice I didn’t say Republican Party. We now live in a Constitutional Empire run by Socialists. There is no politically solution to this problem unfortunately. The only tried and true way to throw off this yoke isn’t at the ballot box . Read Roman history, it applies directly to now. Add some high tech to the Roman Empire and we are looking at a mirror of ourselves.
