Come on folks....get over that BDS....
George W always occupied that space between moderate right and Conservative Republicans, and never claimed otherwise if you really listened to him. He was Moderate right on some things and Conservative on others.
Calling Bush a Liberal/Socialist etc is naive at best and down right bordering on aiding and abeting the Donks....
Grew Goverment? 1) Fighting the war on terror is/was expensive, and having to rebuild the military after the Clinton years of neglect adds to the cost 2) Congress is the co-equal branch of government that writes/passes spending bills/new entitlement programs etc..... a legitimate question is “where was his veto Pen?” Note that spending bills always include things that,if taken on their own merit, would have been vetoed. Do ya think that the President needs a line item veto power? I sure do!
The Dems held all or part of the Congress for 4 of Bush’s 8 years, and with the voting habits/reaching across the aisle of the McCains, Snows, Collins, Chafees, Specters, Grahams, etc. eroding the slim Republican Majorities in much of those other years, you could make a reasonable case that the Dems effectively controlled Congress for all 8 years of the Bush Administration.....
Being elected President is not like being crowned King, although with Obama and the supermajority Donk Congress the electorate gave him you’d think otherwise....Maybe we should work to recreate this circumstance for our side...
Anyone have a problem with the 2 Conservative Supreme Court Justices that were sworn in during the Bush Years? Didn’t think so.....
We failed Bush by not electing a more Conservative Congress with sizeable majorities.....look in the mirror all of you that sat out “to teach the Repubs a lesson”.......making a bad sitution worse!
2010 is the time that we need to redeem ourselves and elect a Conservative Congress with enought of a majority to stop Obama dead in his tracts....let’ stay focused on that objective, and end this backbiting....
Yes, and McCain in Congress was a constant thorn in the President's side.
I sometimes think McCain was torpedoing the Bush efforts to do anything major in reforming SS, etc. McCain always seemed to me to be jealous of Bush. He was good on defense but weird on other stuff.
Thank you, for being a voice of sanity in a swamp of rightwing nutters.
