THOSE were the reasons we got Obama. But not the topic of the thread, so my last post on the subject (hopefully. :)

Unfortunately, your hero GWB did indeed contribute to the rise of 0bama, and he did that by generally REFUSING to defend himself, his administration's policies, he allowed his political adversaries to set the agenda and to paint the most unfavorable picture possible, which the public gobbled up without question.

When a politician allows his enemies to define him/her, he is already sunk. George W. Bush never got over his aspirations to "change the tone" in Washington which was just another way of saying what McCain does all the time about "reaching across the aisle", Bush was no conservative and he admitted that when he stated that there "was no conservative movement" and that he had "redefined the Republican Party".

George W. Bush should have been out on the campaign trail and saying something like this:

"the junior Senator from Illinois has never held a job in the private sector, he has associated with Communists, terrorists and those who would tear down America and he makes no apologies for that, his entire philosophy is based on Marxist teachings, freely admitted in his own autobiography, he has even less experience than Jimmy Carter did before he assumed the Presidency in 1977 and we all remember all THAT turned out, now don't we?"

George W. Bush could have at least TRIED, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it, and we could see the handwriting on the wall in 2006 after he and his strategic 'genius' (har har) Karl Rove managed to lose BOTH the House and the Senate.

Nice work George. Nice job Karl.

Thanks for nothing.

Sorry to be impolite, mk, but the subject is off topic and I'm not going to comment further.

But thanks for not aiming any malicious, dishonest blasphemy at me this time. I appreciate it more than you will ever know.

btw, how's that New Year's Resolution coming along? Hope you're sticking to it like the rest of us conservatives have been doing for decades. :)

You're nuts! FWIW, Bush was sunk the first day he took office but yet he survived the 24/7 NON STOP ATTACKS BY THE MSM to be re-elected in 2004. Your comment is classic proof of the influence the media had on even you.

Bush isn't your enemy, never was and is already proving to have been a good, solid president.

FWIW you guys would have probably dumped on Jesus as creating the first welfare state following his feeding of the masses with free bread and fish............

Here's a little test for ya, why is Dick Cheney so reviled by all the moonbat democrats and liberals you have ever had the occasion to discuss him with?

After all, Cheney was nothing more than vice-president, a figure head in our government........

In short, there is nothing a Republican can do to prevent his opposition, with the aid of the equally socialist media, from allowing them to characterize him in any way they want.......
