Very good points. Well said.

I simply do not understand his retisence and his apparent lack of awareness as to the serious problems this has caused.

I needed a good laugh today. Thanks, LV :)

When Republicans leave the presidency, they go home and live a life....democrats cannot stop being political, Bush 1 and 2 didn’t stay in politics, Ford didn’t either...Nixon stayed out of politics as did Reagon before he developed Alzheimers.....Carter cannot shut up, neigher can Clinton. Its their blood and they die without politics..

Bush never bothered to defend his administration's policies, and his country's interests, when he was president. Why expect him to do now what he couldn't be bothered doing then?

The trouble is talk radio and Fox only reach about 20 million people during a week - and most of them are already in the conservative Republican choir.

Instead of spending a billion on a presidential campaign, some of that should be spent marketing talk radio and FOX. I've seen people convert from Democrat to Republican over time after starting to watch FOX inparticular.

First think we should do is all get a bumper sticker for our local conservative talk station and slap it on.

But in a free country where the Hard Left MSM sets the agenda and the terms of debate, the silence of George W. Bush has been an unmitigated catastrophe.

I believe it was revealed that it was Karl Rove's strategy to have Bush not respond to the attacks on him in the media and from the left. Likewise, we saw Rove's SuperPAC this year not do anything to respond to the attacks against Mitt Romney. Rove's an old fool who can't learn new tricks. He's done a lot to lose 3 of the last 4 elections for us.

Have his back for what? Amnesty? TARP? Auto bailouts? Medicare Part D?

[dfwgator]

Social Security privatization for one.

[Fledermaus]

Okay, you got me on that one.

He didn’t spend his capital on entitlement reform, he spent it on trying to open the borders.

[Newtoidaho]

He definitely has disappeared. The biggest disaster for conservatives however was the decline and death of Reagan. Can you imagine how differently things would be if we still had him countering all the lies of carter, clintoon and obozo?

If you can’t see that a flawed mitt romney was preferable to a hardcore marxist america hating kenyan the problem isn’t the GOP. It’s you. The same goes for anybody else that didn’t vote GOP in this last election to remove the kenyan.

Give it a break already.

The GOP-E apparently didn't learn it's lesson with John McCain and decided to double-down with someone, Mitt Romney, who doesn't have a shred of credibility where being a Republican is concerned, much less a conservative as his Progressive Liberal record as Governor of MA proves.

A candidate who proclaimed all the way up to August 27th, 2012 that he was Pro-Life, until on that day, he proclaimed he supported Abortion in the cases of Rape, Incest, Life, and HEALTH of the mother.

A candidate who supported the Gay Agenda in the following terms:

1. Gay Adoption
2. Gays in the Military
3. Gays in the Boy Scouts


Next time, if the GOP wants my vote, they need to stop with the bogey-man, the sky is falling rhetoric and provide a candidate that is not to the left of just about everyone in the GOP.

The problem with the GOP is that is does not represent conservaives. The problem with you is you are suffering from the abused wife syndrome and the next time the GOP puts up someone even worse than Mitt Romney, you'll allow them to manipulate you into voting for their jackass again.

You, my friend, are the problem.

Absolutely. Denny Hastert was a hack of the worst sort. He was the earmark king. After he fractured the Republican party with his spending. He retired I guess he figured the big was up. Later he wrote an op ed to the Sun Times decrying the use of medical marijuana. If that fat ass tried to take a joint away from me if I was going through cemo I’d kick his fat face in.

[dfwgator]

Hastert also defended William Jefferson D-LA, because no doubt he was afraid of what they would find in Denny’s freezer.
