I’d like to believe this, but Latimer comes off as very deceptive and having made up everything.

Ironically so now, is Bush.

Couldn’t have more lost America to the GOP, if it were done deliberately...

Sometimes it almost seems like it was.

Conservatives greatly admired Bush for his steadfastness in the War on Terror -- to use that outlawed phrase -- and they were delighted by his choices of John Roberts and Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court. But when it came to a fundamental conservative principle like fiscal discipline, many conservatives felt the president just wasn't with them.

Um, Bush offered up Harriet Meyers for the Supreme Court and was chastized by the base and talk radio.

Me too! Bush was ok sometimes but he definitely was not a Fiscal Conservative and I had issues with him on the border!

Some pundits opined that Obama would be better in the long run because he would inflame America enough to bring about an effectual purge of both lefty and wishy washy centrist politicians. Would America have been incensed enough at McCain’s soft points to oppose as vigorously as they have Obama?

I can say one good thing about the current situation: the acerbic debate has paralyzed the Rat government. It has turned blue dog against true-red lefty. I think this is a significant reason the market is smiling. The gummit, not being able to act any more, is unable to screw things up.

I can’t believe they’re still bent on attacking Bush and trying to make him look bad in the eyes of conservatives with this Latimer BS.

After the debunking of the other Latimer’s mega BS on Bush allegedly attacking Sarah Palin, one would think that people didn’t buy this garbage anymore. But, there are always “real conservatives” more willing to keep bashing Bush and securing Democrat victories for centuries to come than there are trying to understand what’s going on here: a democRAT and RINO concerted dezinformatja strategy to divide the conservative front, by exploiting the inevitable backstabbers among former staffers.

WAKE UP PEOPLE! BUSH IS NOT IN OFFICE ANYMORE AND WASTING TIME WITH THIS PREPOSTEROUS BS ONLY HELPS THE OBUMMER AND HIS MINIONS IN SIGHT OF 2010!

Laura Bush — democrat. W and Arnold and Mary Matlyn all have democrat spouses.

Exactly, these guys who turned on G.W.Bush when the MSM commanded them to of course immediately believe this. They probably are all young and would have turned on Reagan in 1987 to if they had been around to hear him smeared by the MSM.

“I’m afraid thar we got sucked in because of the Texas accent, W acts more like a Connecticutt yankee every day.”

Back in the Day, Bush was defeated for a Congressional seat in West Texas by a Folksy Conservative Democrat. He vowed that he would never be “Out Countried” again. He then took on the West Texas Persona and went undefeated from then on.

Bush's record stands on its own.

"I've abandoned free market principles to save the free market system."

Revisiting the Bushes is like discussing your last car. I'm more concerned with identifying our next candidates.

Maybe it was just because he was an oil-man, but he held the line on global warming. And Obama’s betrayal of the eastern Europeans shows how well Bush’s foreign and defense policies squared with Reagan-, as opposed to Ron Paul-, conservatism.

I applaud Bush on the War, tax cuts, being pro-life...As Rush always said. Bush wasn’t a conservative. Bush sold out the conservatives by putting us into more debt. Bush also brought us Obama.

When did Gary Bauer ever lead the CONSERVATIVE CAUSE? I’d never heard of him until he was a candidate.

People around here definitely fell for the cowboy hat-clearing brush routine. What a joke that was.
