Tea Party Is Evidence 'Democracy Works,'--President Bush
FoxNews.com ^ | November 5, 2010 | FoxNews.com

Posted on 11/05/2010 9:20:31 PM PDT by luvie

The rise of the Tea Party movement shows "democracy works ," former President George W. Bush says in an interview to air Tuesday night on Fox News' "Hannity."

"Here's what I see. I see democracy working. People are expressing a level of frustration or concern and they're getting involved in the process," Bush told Sean Hannity in advance of the release Tuesday of his memoir, "Decision Points."

"And the truth of the matter is, democracy works in America," Bush said.

Oh........and the “Bush gave us Obama” tripe is a completely non-factual, emotional outburst from people who are denying the reality of what was going on in 2008.

I wouldn’t think so literally. But a great deal of the leftists were outright hypocrites in their criticism of Bush, no sooner did they leave office than they pretty much did what he either did or had plans to do.

I give you EVIDENCE and you respond with pseudo-con talking points and ad hominem attacks.

Ohiowfan gives you EVIDENCE and you respond with more pseudo-con talking points and ad hominem attacks (and a few straw men tossed in for good measure).

Ohio and I need respond no more; you’ve proven our points quite nicely. [FYI: It was never about you in the first place; it was always about the lurkers who needed to be provided with an alternative perspective.]

I’m off to enjoy my evening and hope you do the same.

Evidence? What evidence? Where? Please clarify. Both of you are in over your head here.

I do not respect ANYBODY that is NOT pro life! If that offends anybody that is their problem! Am I not entitled to my opinion?

I was being honest! I have had great respect for GW Bush, have never said a word against him ever. Yes just in this case I was quick to believe what I heard, mostly because I have heard no denial up until now about what he supposedly said about Sarah.First report of this was in 2009

Apparently he just told Oprah (who I have zero respect for) that “you betcha I will support her” so I may have been to quick to believe...I wait for the denial on Hannity Tuesday night.

As for Laura? She just recently told the world that she is NOT pro life. As stated I have ZERO respect for ANYBODY that is NOT pro life.

Last time I checked this board allowed honest opinions.

I know that this is bothering you, but if he NEVER said that
about Sarah...and if it’s all rumors...then WHY would he have
to deny it? It would be foolish of him to deny something he
never said in the first place.

Just sayin’..........

I don’t think he’d EVER say something like that about a fellow
candidate. He’s never been an unkind or negative person.

What in the world made you think I thought otherwise? I relish the back and forth that goes with discussing things with others who have different opinions than I do.

You are most certainly entitled to whatever opinion you have of Laura Bush. (I was referring to some very vile things said about her, not related to anything you have said).

I think there was a misunderstanding here, Friend.

Your insults are a sign of desperation, rovian. A sure sign that you lost the argument before it began because you have issued non-stop personal ad hominems from your first post.

You give me cartoons, and I will respond with HISTORY.....

Deal with it. Alito is on the bench because of George W. Bush. Roberts is on the bench because of George W. Bush.

And America hung on by a thread for two years of leftist chaos because of Roberts and Alito.

History, rovian. Deal with it.

Conservatism ROCKS! :)

Have a good evening, Deb!

Don't let the ad hominems get you down. It's all they've got when they've lost the argument.

It's amazing how often President Bush's grace and class are held against him on a conservative forum.

And it's remarkable how many conservative 'purists' march in lockstep with the anti-Bush left.......and apparently aren't perceptive enough to catch the irony of their alliance with the political enemy.

Yes, it is a total “head scratcher” to figure out the ones
who rail against the left and then flame the very person who
fought them tooth and nail to keep this country going in the
right direction toward prosperity! The DUmmies in Congress
never gave him a break and then have blamed him ever since!

I have to think that some are just angry, bitter souls who
don’t like ANYTHING or anyone!

I thank you for your accurate and honest defense of OUR president!

Not a problem, LUV. It's an honor to defend an honorable man.

Do you know who the two most despised people are in the world to the radical left??

Sarah Palin and George W. Buah

There's a reason for that. They are both effective models of conservatism and patriotism, of character and common sense.

And yet some here are falling for a ridiculous attack on BOTH of them by the left.....this silly attempt to dishonor President Bush by claiming he doesn't like Sarah....... people claiming to be conservative. It's sad. But they don't seem to see that they are doing exactly what the left wants them to do.

They have fallen into a leftist trap.

Indeed, they have. They have fallen for the very arguments
that the left always uses to trap the gullible...the same old tired tripe that
has lost any semblance of truth in it's misbegotten anger.

We KNOW honesty and real passion when we see it,
and it is manifest in Sarah and President Bush...
and a few others!

It breaks my heart to see people on this forum who have no appreciation for President Bush.

Many who like him seem to feel called upon to add a disclaimer, as, he wasn’t perfect but ...

Well, nobody’s perfect, but Dubya kinda looks perfect compared to what we have now.

GW KNOWS he’s not perfect. He has never, ever claimed to have
all the answers. But...what he has is a deep love for America,
the people who live here and for the troops and that is saying
a lot. He fought tooth and nail to keep us free, safe and
secure in a dangerous world!

He has to be privately shaking his head in disbelief at the
ignorance and disprespect shown by this fake president for
all things American.

I’m wondering why you think Laura is not pro life. I read her book and I don’t remember her saying anything to that effect.

She is rather more quiet about her religious beliefs than her husband but I can’t imagine her being pro abortion.

Are you sure?
