Bush was assertive as a shy boy at the high school prom. His communicating skills or lack thereof was his worst enemy. He tried to please everyone and governed like a D with an R next to his name. He made the same mistake Richard Nixon made in believing the hard left could be ‘compromised’ with. Even Reagan got bit by that one.
what would you have done in his place, oh, knowledgeable one?
(this is where we find out of you have a faulty memory, or if you were 10 years old in 2006)
You simply can’t play nice with Democrats. Ever. They are duplicitious and will stab you in the back in a New York minute.
Democrats are viscious infighters who view politics as blood sport and they play to win at all costs. Republicans just can’t understand the singular reality of that.
First of all, Bush’s communication guy Is/was a DEMOCRAT...I forget his name....he’s with No Labels now...POS......PLUS Laura Bush is a DEMOCRAT....pure and simple......and husbands listen to their wives, even when they are wrong.....it’s why they marry. Bush was WAY more conservative than his aides and Laura.....he was PRO-LIFE all the way......not easy when you are surrounded by ABORTION LOVING FEMALES like his wife and daughters and MOTHER!!!
