I suppose you’re for Jeb in 2016, too?
Bush meant well, but he was right there with the Dems pushing more no-money-down, government-guaranteed home loans to poor credit risks. And he was a big spender—not really one for conservative financial principles.
Not at all. I did not support Bush in his decision but refuse to clear Obama of his demand FOR that decision.
Just as it burns Obama’s butt that NO republicans voted for Obamacare. Can’t blame a single one for it.
I would start with this along with some other items posted:

That’s a weak link. I am not blaming Bush for everything, just acknowledging that he isn’t a conservative, unless it’s relative to Obama. GM should have done a prepack BK and the same with the TBTF banks. Government could have reassured the marketplace without extending any real credit.
Remember that GW Bush was a two term President, that’s 8 years. He gave us the DHS and the TSA. He could have let a couple of airlines BK or merge after 9/11. They were limping along anyway and that would have shored up the entire industry.
You can’t have it both ways - a free market and a crony capitalist market. We have the latter. I want the former. I am a conservative.
I don’t mind people wanting more conservative politicians. I voted for Cruz and bush. I see and appreciate the difference. Pretending bush wasn’t conservative is false and self destructive.
Deficits were going down until dems took over. Congress can repeal dhs etc. it won’t if dems are elected.
One million less people working today than at this time five years ago, even though US population has increased by 12 million over that span.
