This article itself is full of lies. Should we expect the president the respond to it too?
So Bush didn't whine like a little kid enough for you all? Who cares, this nitpicking is ridiculous.
Did your mother take steriods?
Paulson and Bernake are as big a disaster for this country is as the President has been.
This guy can STFU. It could have been much worse, just wait and see. As far as I can see the whole GOP is the cut and run coalition. Too many crybabies fighting to get in print trying to justify their lousy electoral endeavors. It was bully for Bush in September 2001 and now we don’t know him.
Character does not matter, this writer would be happy with a Jimmy Carter in my opinion.
ROFLMAO!
If yo9u’ve been around this forum long enough you’ll remember the standard phrase about Jimmah that was used in the early days, “he is a decent man”. How the heck does anyone here know that Dubya “is a good man”? (Not saying he isn’t, for those with reading comprehension problems.)
Nixon wasn’t a conservative. Nixon introduced price controls. Nixon normalised relations with China. Nixon handled the end of the vietnam war very badly as he cowtowed to the N Vietnamese. Nixon was way to loyal to his underlings and allowed scandals to blow out of proportion(sound familiar) Nixon got paranoid and overestimated the effect of the left on the political landscape evidenced by the fact that Reagan won a conservative landslide after a Nixon sponsored Ford handoff and the 4 yr Carter administration. Delroy shouldn’t have called Bush the republican party’s Carter. He should have called Bush the republican party’s Nixon.
Bush allowed things to happen that will have consequences for America that are not recognized right now. Alloed is the key word in that sentence.
he was not a good president, but we haven’t had a good president in some time now. Since Reagan every one of these men has worked to bring about one world government. Before Reagan we had Nixon, who “opened” China.
It has taken a long time to bring America to where it is today. Face it, America was a good idea, but it could not stand the treasonous leadership we have had for so long.
This is, hands down, the best summary of the Bush presidency I have read. Deroy Murdock lays out perfectly how George Bush just sat there like a punching bag for eight years and never had the guts to stand up and defend himself as lie after lie after lie from the rats and their newsrooms went left unanswered. Bush’s unwillingness to stand up and fight was an eight-year slap in the face to his bewildered supporters, including me. Bush’s behavior was inexcusable.
“The Republican Jimmy Carter” - - yep, that works.
Reagan made you feel good about yourself and that’s about it.
The George W. Bush Presidency will fill volumes of history books. Reagan’s, not so much.

Very good question. My answer is that a good president has to be a good man at the personal level of intentions, and beliefs and then the toughest and meanest sumbitch beyond that without sacrificing the good man that he is. Bush failed, Reagan succeeded. Just go ask an air traffic controller, a commie or a welfare hag.
Agreed!
Say what you will about W but he showed the wannabe tyrants and third world Marxist just what country was going to be in charge on his watch.
With the current crop of megalomaniacs we have out there today I am somewhat concerned what message our new CIC will display.
On the domestic front; I believe most Americans give their respective elected politicians too much credit with respect to controlling the economy. Paulson and Co. have showed the rest of us who is in charge on their watch.
IMHO

Agreed. Perhaps it's time once again for that shakeup to come from We The People taking our country back.
amnesty for illegals, hence spitting in the face of the very citizens who have paid taxes all their lives, signed on to the draft, served their country through military service, and devoted themselves to fortifying it in many other ways. In other words he spat on those who served. Thus psychologically an aloof patrician in every sense.
the Kelo decision,which although a president might not legally counter, clearly is the philosophical death of everything the conservative believes in (private property), and should be so stated but never was.
GWB proves one thing clearly, the hopeful conservative President better be savvy and energetic enough to counter the nihilistic Media, or they, through default, will walk all over him.
I believe his failings were due to his kindness. Letting Kennedy craft the Education Bill, (for which Bush was blamed), Katrina (which Bush did fine on, but the press pinned on him for New Orleans' failure's, after being warned by the President).
His major failings really were to allow the Press to define him, instead of getting out in front.
But we are still better off, all things considered.
Thank you, President Bush
He still hasn’t freed / commuted the sentences of Ramos and Compean.
No, I cannot defend Bush while those men rot in solitary confinement for protecting America from scum.
If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And - which is more - you’ll be a Man my son!
THAT poem, if nothing else, describes President G.W. Bush. He IS a good man. I will miss him very much and cannot watch the farewells.
It will be a very long, dark time ahead.
Whoops, forgot. That poem is by Rudyard Kipling.
WRiters and thinkers like these are the unmitigated disaster of the conservative movement.
Bush is a greater conservative President than Reagan.
“Bush is a greater conservative President than Reagan.”
How so?
