I’m sure you would have enjoyed having Gore or Kerry. Then you could have been THRILLED.
This is just like the Conservatives to sit back and do their special little bashing sessions.
Continue with the bashing and the division within the movement as others work to take back the GOP. Such bashing always gives a wedge to the nuts like ACORN.
While the bashing continues on the right, watch ACORN save itself quietly while some in the Conservative movement are busy shouting from the roof tops W is bad, yeah W is bad.
Some don’t get it and never will get it.
You’ve been all over the US except OK/TX and HI/AK?
Like father, like son. John Podhoretz is now the editor of the New York Post and was a speechwriter for Bush 41. After Bush lost but before Clinton was inaugurated, Bush 41 had to give a speech to be written by Podhoretz. The latter said Bush firmly instructed him that he didn’t “want any of that right-wing (standard conservative) junk in his speech”. I’ve never regretted voting for Perot.
The point is that there are plenty of fish in the sea better than W and we need to not sink to a semi-hawk, semi-liberal next time up. So far Sarah Palin seems safe, but there is plenty of room to slip between the cup and the lip.
And so Clinton got Peroted in for 8 years.
How much do you want to bet they trot out Jeb in 12 to oppose Palin?
I don’t recall McCain making any audacious boasts like this
Papa McCain’s got his bimbo daughter out there mouthing off about conservatives. He has said he is oh so proud of her.
Conservative movement: George W. Bush is inconsequential.
I voted for the guy twice, as he was the lesser of 2 evils in 2000 and 2004. The conservative movement did score some victories in his eight years (income tax reductions, first confirmation by the Supreme Court that Americans have the right to bear arms, expiration of the “assault gun” ban, pro-life SC justices, ending federal funding of abortion overseas). The Dems themselves know conservative views win, which is why Odumbo is having such a hard time within his own party.
He's a whole lot better than Obozo but then again, so is my Labrador Retriever.
I wouldnt call this bashing as much as reflection, so as not to make the same mistakes again.
McCain would have sucked as President, but you're right, he'd still be a better President than 0bama.
Reagan paved the way for Obama with King Day and the nomination of the first Bush, not to mention S.D. O’Connor and A. Kennedy. . Reagan should have been more conservative, but conservatives think he was steadfast.
GWB is still pleading for a Democrat, somewhere, anywhere, to say something nice about him, like Bob Bullock used to do in the mid-1990s.
GWB is to our generation as Tom Dewey was to the 1940s. Everett Dirksen, himself an old compromiser, even once shook his finger at Dewey in disgust.
More like a doting grandpa
Felt? If Bush even HAD a domestic goal, it was to bankrupt the country. He just didn't know how to do it fast enough. Obama wants to show the world that Bush was a piker.
Why do we get such mediocrities as President?
And Louisiana. I had a layover at Dallas Airport once but I don’t count that. Just never made it down to that corner of the states, so yeah, those three, plus the two non-contiguous states remain on my to do list. In my younger days I was quite a drifter.
I remember seeing the Canadian flag flying and thinking it was so weird. Only time I saw another nation's flag flying.
