but he led the country into a train-wreck allowing the socialists to come in and ransack the country.

Huh? The economy thriving and unemployment practically nonexistent under President Bush and a Republican majority in the House and the Senate was a train wreck? *rme*

IMHO, equating President George W. Bush with McCain and Graham is completely ignorant.

Bush was a globalist who wanted to see America lead the world. Not in a dictatorial way, but in a democratic way.

Obama is a globalist who wants to see America be put in her place, which is apparently below all other nations.

This explains a lot of the difference between the two men.

IMHO, the record of President George W. Bush has so many more positives than negatives (chronicled on many FR threads), and history will prove this. On the issues with life and death consequences, he got everything exactly right

Correct.

I agree with that statement. Bush did have conservative principles that he would stick to. Can’t say the same for the other two where it is always negotiable.

Peddle to meddle?

Peddle is a verb meaning to travel about selling wares.

Meddle is a verb meaning to interfere where you are uninvited and unwanted.

Peddle to meddle makes no sense, the closest meaning would be to travel about seeking to interfere where you are uninvited.

I need to research US economic performance charts and graphs to see if that’s the case.

Jet Jaguar has done the research for you-go here:

Once a black dimmicrat voter told me that George W. Bush was a liar. “Yes”, I replied, “he certainly is, he just said on TV that Islam is a religion of peace and that is as big a lie as anyone has ever told.” She looked dumbstruck, I think it may be the only time I ever agreed with her about politics.

Bush is old school in that the President goes home and acts as like a President. Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson. Nixon, Reagan and Bush all acted this way. They supported the office holder because they know the difficulties of the office. There is a story that Eisenhower was at the Kennedy White House for an event. He quietly walked with JFK and schooled him on his fiasco on his handling of th Bay of Pigs invasion. Result, a different Kennedy during the Cuban missile crises.

Kennedy needed a vote of confidence from (Supreme Commander, Allied Forces in Europe) Eisenhower to help him out of the sickening loss of face entailed in the Bay of Pigs fiasco. So he Called Eisenhower to meet with him - at Camp David, IIRC - and they took a private walk together during which Eisenhower ripped him a new one. Then Eisenhower publicly gave Kennedy the support he had to have.

President Bush was a leader and he spend a lot in the 8 years he was in office less, then the arrogant pos, who currently occupies the residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. As a matter of fact 0bama spend in the first six weeks what President Bush spend in his entire year and any president before him

[csmusaret]

Bush spent too much, but as a percentage of GDP his average deficit was lower than any other Republican President since Nixon. Just one chart from the thread linked above:

I felt very safe under President Bush. Now I don’t.

Peddle to meddle?

Petal to the metal....Sister Theresa, my 7th grade grammar teacher would have me write that phrase 100 times as a reminder.

Thanks!

[Kaslin]

I can still remember my anger on 9/12/01 when President Bush visited the DC mosque

That is a lie and you know it
