"George W. Bush was an absolute failure as president and I regret ever having voted for him."

I tried by best to warn everyone back in 1999 and 2000. Empty Suit, not conservative at all. Steve Forbes would have been a much better choice.

GWB was just one of “the latest $hit sandwiches” in a long line of $hit sandwiches that the GOPe has “ served up.” I just hope the Republican “sheep,” with the help of men like Trump, Carson, and Cruz, have finally figured it out just how badly they’ve been played.

Forbes would not have beaten Al Gore and we would be in serious serious trouble as a nation of he’d won. Hard to believe we’d be worse than now, but we would.

I don’t like revisionist history.

Things have changed a lot since 2000 and since 2008. At the time Bush was the best thing we had.

Since then we know a lot more. The differences within the Republican and conservative populace has become a lot more clear. It’s an evolution that has occurred. And we are better for it.

We can’t judge things from today’s perspective that are Pre-Tea Party and 2010 before the lines were drawn more clearly and the divide became greater.

It goes both ways. We ought not condemn Bush like deranged liberals of the 00’s today but we are under no obligation to respect his opinion’s in 2015 which we know are ossified and wrong.
