I have little respect for the man.
Why didn't he push to clean up voter fraud,stop illegal immigration,stop government growth and interference,promote oil refineries and drilling,etc.etc.etc.
G.W. Bush was no Constitutional conservative nor did he do much for the Republican party.He was too accomadating to the socialists and as for "Islam is a religion of peace",bah!
Nor have I ever worshipped at the altar of Rove.
Bushes are Democrat Lite.
Frankly, this was the last straw for me with GWB. I appreciate Roberts and Alito on the SCOTUS, and I like having no attacks on the US for 8 years,but this dude was like Nixon. Trying his damndest to be “liked” by the Left by giving them exactly what they wanted. Nixon left office disgraced and hated by everybody. Bush left office being hated by everybody. Reagan left office with a 69% approval rating. Not only was he liked by the republican base, but even the leftists respected him.
I distinctly remember, during the 2000 campaign, when GW first said "compassionate conservative" and i thought, "uh oh." But the alternative was vastly worse...
