I was fortunate to have Bob Barr on the ballot. There was
n-o-t-h-i-n-g that could get my vote for John Liberal McCain.
I rebelled at that socialist nomination before it was even cool. No way, no how was his theater pick of Palin going to bring him my vote.
McCain, Romney, Dole nominees are bookends for the end of the Republican Party. W. Bush was one dementional, on the war and muscular, but that’s about it for his expertise.
Ultimately though GWB lost both wars. While the Iraq “surge” seemed successful, events since in both Iraq and Afghanistan have been failures. GWB said “No More Vietnams” and then delivered another Vietnam.
