If Bush were President today, we’d have Euro Socialism Lite instead of Full Blown Anti-American Marxism.

Neither scenario is attractive to conservatives who are tired of picking the lesser of two evils every damn election.

The situation would be the same but there would be large, well-financed anti-war, anti-drone rallies.

“Neither scenario is attractive to conservatives who are tired of picking the lesser of two evils every damn election.”

The only non-lesser-evil vote I have ever cast was for Ronald Reagan. I’m annoyed at the conservatives who will perpetually wait for the “perfect” candidate and therefore perpetually leave us in Hell with full-blown Marxists. I’d definitely prefer a pro-American Marxist-lite. Romney, Dole and McCain were terrible candidates, but that’s the reality of politics. Let’s deal with reality. We can work towards perfection, but we must vote for the lesser evil or suffer the greater evil.

If Bush were president we wouldn't have Obamacare

as all of you will find out when it is implemented Obmacare will turn the U.S.A. into a socialist state , where many actions of the individual are controlled by the state.

Bush did some terrible things but not the unconstitutional executive orders, Obmacare, treason like with the UN arms treaty that Obama wanted to use to overide the 2nd amendment, and a million other crimes this traitor Obama.

say what you all will against Bush, the Republicans only added medicare part d and DHS , the rest of the government and other ills were added by the democrat congress who controlled congress the 40 years prior to 1992. Bush nor gop gave us socialist healthcare nor Amnesty even though Bush wanted it and he was wrong for that but he's just one dumb individual. what's coming you will all wish we were back in the Bush years

The “media” would have propagandized the sheep to the point his approval ratings would be in single digits.

Yes, reality is something we have to deal with, and socialism lite is indeed better than full blown Marxism - no Obama care is better than having Obama Care, etc. Having said that, Bush was a major disappiontment and set the stage for full fledged Marxism to prevail in subsequent elections.

“Having said that, Bush was a major disappointment and set the stage for full fledged Marxism to prevail in subsequent elections.”

Jesus Christ could not have survived the slime-job done on Bush and Republicans by the mainstream media. Bush looks better every day. If there is any justice, Obama will spend the rest of his life in prison for treason.

Well, perhaps, but we’ll never know, because Bush never even tried to fight back. That was unforgiveable....because it is us, and not him, who pay the price now.

The media would be scouring New York and New Jersey looking for victims of Sandy who are still houseless.

> Who knows what the future will bring in the remaining 45 months of the Obama presidency?

He will use EO’s to disarm the people, declare martial law, have DHS and UN strip the people of their weapons and render portions of the Constitution null and void
He will attempt to implement “Project Beast Mark” and force people to take their Obamacare implant with data storage and tracking capabilities
He will be shot. Rise again in 3 days with horns and rain hell on earth
Jesus will show up and slam him around like a toy ala Hulk in the Avengers style...: )

Thanks for DHS, “W”. Our worst fears have come true.

RE :”Romney, Dole and McCain were terrible candidates, but that’s the reality of politics. Let’s deal with reality. We can work towards perfection, but we must vote for the lesser evil or suffer the greater “

Mccain just joined Dems on the Senate gun law vote, the internet tax (on us) law vote and he is working with Schumer and Durbin on the amnesty bill.

When you support rats in GOP clothing then how can you be critical of Dems?

Lets see :“OH, but Obama’s versions are even worse”
or:“OH, but Democrats would have criticized him if he didnt do that.”

“When you support rats in GOP clothing then how can you be critical of Dems?”

Yes, I’m sick of liberals too. But you have to deal with reality. By voting in Obama we got 8 years of ever increasing socialism. Only the Democratic agenda ever gets to a vote. With a Republican we could (perhaps) have blocked the worst of it. Now, what if conservative activists sit out the next election and the next? At what point will the country be so wrecked it can’t recover? I think we’re close to that point right now. REALITY. You will never get 100% of what you want. You are lucky if you get 50%. Let’s not leave a national Detroit to our grandchildren. (Er...do it for the children?)

These ‘misss Bush yet’ posts are pretty tame.

Up to 2010 and years before there were real worship threads posted to him here religiously. Now don't cry at these pictures LOL

With the GOP supporting giving full US citizenship (and the vote) to illegals and those playing candidates Rub, Ryan and Paul leading on it, it is getting more and more difficult to find a reason to vote at all anymore.

They seem to think that Hispanics will come out and vote for them if they betray us.

Support your conservative candidates in the primary so that, perhaps, they’ll get enough votes to become a VP pick. Then, they have a pole position from which to run for president. A President McCain might have given us a President Palin.

Rubio is apparently an opportunist who ran under a false flag to get elected. He’s trying to develop a racial identity group who will vote for him because he’s the same race. BTW, he’s less popular with Hispanics than GWB was. So, what’s he really thinking? I have no idea. But 12 million new people on welfare will help the economy how? Not a clue what’s going on there. Apparently, people go to DC as one thing and then get converted like Pod People. (Science Fiction reference.)
