I knew Bush was a fraud when he coined “Compassionate Conservative” (as if to say Conservatism isn’t compassionate — it is FAR MORE compassionate than liberalism, I bet Reagan would have some words for GWB), but he’s still a much better man and president than the current occupant of the White House.

But no more Bushes in the WH. EVER.

...but he’s still a much better man and president than the current occupant of the White House.

It's not exactly that hard to be "better" than a scum-sucking, Alinsky-loving, America-hating Marxist.

“But no more Bushes in the WH EVER.”

In the words of Jesse Jackson, “America, stay outta the Bushes!”

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

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 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.

President Bush did not coin the phrase "Compassionate Conservatism". The first time I ever heard it used was in Tom Bordanaro's unsuccessful campaign in the special election in late '97/early '98 to replace the deceased Walter Capps.
