“I think W. will be remembered as a man who did what he thought was right, a man of action who refused to back down or see America’s greatness compromised. ” — Posted by Mark

What someone thinks is right is not always the right thing to do. Politics can NOT be governed by personal values, especially not in a country as large and diverse as ours is. The President must put what’s best for the people at the forefront of his office. What’s best for himself comes last.

We didn’t need other countries to compromise America, he was happily doing it from within. Did you ever stop to wonder why Americans in other countries constantly felt the need to apologize for Bush, or were you too busy swallowing his “everything is fine” idiocy to look past your front lawn?

You leave out many conservative quotes of substance, while giving your lefty pals a free pass on outright distortions:

Google how many years there were between the next most recent Islamic fundamentalist terror attack on the US and 9/11. Get back to me on how this proves W improved our security apparatus.

-Scott

Ok: 1993 - World Trade Center bombed by Islamic fundamentalists, 6 killed, 1,000 injured : No response from Clinton Administration

1995 - Islamic fundamentalists bomb Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, killing many US Military personnel housed there: No response from Clinton Administration

1998 - US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania bombed, 200+ killed: No response from Clinton Administration

2000 - USS Cole bombed by Islamic fundamentalists - 17 sailors killed, many more injured: No response from Clinton Administration.

At some point in there, he lobbed a sinlge missle at an aspirin factory, taking out the major threat that was the one janitor killed there, most admit in order to take attention away from his misuse of the oval office and an intern.

So Scott, thats four in seven years if you don’t count the embassies separately, leaving you with an average of one major terrorist attack on the US every 1.75 years under a president who did everything in his might not only to not use the military correctly, but to demean and dismantle it at every opportunity.

On the other hand, within a month of the only major terrorist attack on the US under Bush, we responded militarily. There hasn’t been one since. So, 1 in 7 years compared to 4 in 7 years tells me he’s slowed the rate to one quarter of the rate of attacks under Clinton.

Let me know if you need any more help with math.

2008 - the year the media DIED

The current administration has demonstrated a complete disregard for the legal system, US Constitution, established international agreements and treaties, without any meaningful supervision by the House or Senate.

The Administration has engaged in personal slander, propaganda campaigns, double-speak and unmitigated fraud for anyone in disagreement with their warped agenda.

a. The House and Senate negated their assigned duties as representatives of the electorate when they handed the Administrative Branch a carte blanch ticket to start wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

b. The House and Senate have stood idly by while the administration carried out illegal wiretaps, refused to provide testimony required to ascertain the extent of the abuses and then passed laws to protect the culpable from due process/prosecution.

c. To allow the President and Vice-president to usurp the power designated to them by the electorate, the House and the Senate can only be recognized as complacent supporters of Totalitarianism and Fascism.

d. I urge Congress to restore court oversight of the government spying program and hold accountable the corporations that knowingly broke the law. I urge full judicial oversight of the responsible parties, removal from elected office or corporate position and, if so adjudicated, incarceration.

e. The non-sanctioned, preemptive wars against the sovereign nations of Afghanistan and Iraq were undertaken in violation of laws governing international aggression. The pretext for starting the wars was done with known deception of elected officials and the people. No matter how big your flag is, it is not big enough to wrap around the bodies of innocent men, women and children killed in battle.

f. I urge the immediate impeachment and trail for war crimes and misdemeanors of the President, Vice-president, Secretary of State, former Secretary of Defense per the petitions that were submitted to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees by popular petitions. This has remained in committee too long already.

Bush is stupid? Please explain to me what a shamable is.

Thank you for your courageous leadership, President Bush.

George Bush will be remembered as the President who sent liberals in frothy rage and caused them to lie and demean and smear and make up absurd and insane nonsense that didnt have an ounce of truth in them.
Just think - Bush was less political than Clinton admin (who fired *every* DoJ attorney in 1993), DoJ is standing, church and state as separate as ever and athiests more outspoken than ever, FEMA helped in dozens of storms, including Ike this year.
Oh yeah, and Bush won the war in Iraq. we can thank him for finishing the job there so obama doesnt have to.

I also like this comment: “George Bush will be remembered as a heroic man who led a pack of yapping-at-the-heels dog Democrats to victory in spite of their vicious selves.”

It’s funny how all those who in 2002 voted for war, including Clinton, Biden, Hagel, and many others … became turncoats against their own position. The Democrats were wrong about the surge, were wrong to protect fannie mae, and are wrong today in trying to shovel money into failures like the big 3 bailout.
But the Dems got away with it because they could always blame Bush no matter how irresponsible or wrong they were!

Had President Bush been a weaker man, we’d have lost in Iraq.
Thank you, President Bush for persisting and WINNING in Iraq. I think his inner core values are sound and his policies will proved to be sound over time as well.
