Wrong, the endless bashing of Bush, undermining his every move, belittling him at every turn, spreading lies about him, his service, his motives, the 2000 election, his education, you name and no one backing him up, especially himself, led to Obama.

Even the Democrats were harsh to Bush.

You Paulies make no sense at all. All you desire to do right now is destroy the GOP so you can sweep in and take it over.

Once you kill the party, what the hell do you think you will do it? Do you think people that rejected Paul outright and have rejected the libertarian message for nearly 40 years will all of a sudden flock back to the GOP just because the cult of Ron Paul now runs it?

You people deluded yourselves with your stacked online polls and now, you delude yourselves in thinking that once you destroy the party and take over, voters will flock back to it.

I voted for him twice and so did most of the country which is why he got a second term. The Democrats never succeeded in sinking Bush -- Bush did it to himself.

I love watching neocons feel sorry for themselves -- it's so pathetic.

The GOP needs no help in destroying itself. It's dying off all on its own by abandoning its conservative and libertarian roots -- and there has been no bigger offender in recent history of forgetting those roots than GWB!

Playing the victim card, eh?

Destroy it? It's already been destroyed by a man named George W. Bush.

GW Bush: "There is no [conservative] movement...I redefined the Republican Party"

At an individual level Bush seems like a great guy. At a presidential level he was the worst RINO in recent history. Despite rising government receipts, he blew up spending beyond belief. Remember, the wars were “off balance sheet” so don’t factor into the deficits. The “Patriot Act” is now being used by Dems to label conservatives as terrorists. The medicare expansion will cause untold billions in deficits in the coming years. His failed attempt to give legal residency to illegals is now being used by Dems to turn Texas blue.

Last but not least, he failed to catch bin Laden despite everything else. God bless his retirement, but he was a terrible president.
