Are there any other REPUBLICANS who feel that the Bush Pres. is a real party low point?

Question

...a real stain you wished could have been avoided if only it could have been another Republican candidate that rose to the ranks in 2000 instead of the Son of the 1st Bush?

Also, is the only real way to regain lost ground or longer term damage to the party's reputation is to distance from Bush's tarnished legacy post 2008 and direct the party to more moderate grounds and wrestle control away from the nutjob neocon faction and once again *try* to become known as the party of fiscal responsbility?

Answer 1

he's not a conservative... he's an oil man. He has no party affiliation, he's never been a republican... he's a technocratic despot. So if you have a funny feeling that you have been duped, follow your intuition... and become a Libertarian.

Answer 2

Personally, I think both parties are at their lowest points in a long time. The GOP certainly didn't stick to their held values and traditional agenda (the President being the biggest offender) and have therefore left their party thinking what now? The DNP has done similar, they were dominant in the last election, but they have come into power and done nothing except whine and spin their tires. Both parties are full of corruption - they are worried more about money on the side and their own agenda. It is true the leaders of the GOP are at killer low approval ratings, but so are the GNP leaders. Take the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, he's below 20% approval. We aren't comparing apples and oranges here, they are all apples. Lastly, as far as the immigration matter tearing the GOP apart, that is not entirely true. There are only a handful of republicans that support the president, the rest are sticking strong to the traditional GOP values. The president is in line with the DNP on this one and they could get it passed if the DNP came together, but no one is. P.S. the best money laundering case is the democrat from Louisiana...on tape and then $90K in his freezer...awesome. P.S.S. I am a registered Democrat who sees this is not a party issue, but a global problem.

Answer 3

Certainly, the Bush presidency is an absolute disaster, both for the country and the Republican Party. He had both houses of Congress in majority, and accomplished nothing, other than leading the country into an unnecessary and endless war against the Middle East, raised the deficit through the ceiling, and did virtually nothing for the real problems facing the country.

Answer 4

From the moment GW took over the White House, he has had mud and lies and innuendos thrown at him from the left wing democommies and he has not had many fellow republicans with any gonads that would stand up to these communists. Sure, GW has made some mistakes but he is RIGHT about this war on terror and for whatever reason, he has been unable to gain or keep enough people on his side to enable him to conduct a full force effort on our enemies. I, sad to say, blame some of this on our other politicians in Washington. So, the party low point is directly in the back yards of the spineless republicans and George Soros democommies.

Answer 5

You call yourself a Republican and you spout these Democrat lies? Suppose you tell me, other than the Democrat propaganda, just exactly where President Bush has gone wrong genius?

Taxes are down and the economy is booming

The Koreans are on the run

Terrorists are dying all around the world.

there's been no further attacks on the USA

Unemployment is a record lows

You have absolutely no grasp of what's going on around you and you're buying into all that Democrat propaganda. You just don't get it that they still haven't gotten over Fat Albert's loss to W in 2000.

The thing that really amazes me is that now Fat Albert is being lauded as some big environmenatl hero when it turns out that he's one of the worst energy hogs in the Country.

Gore's Tenessee mansion is using 20 times the power used by an average American home, and this buffoon has everybody convinced that he's buying carbon credits to offset his use. HERE'S AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH: He's buying them from his own company. IT'S A HUGE PONZI SCHEME.

The President's Crawford Texas home is 4,000 square feet. It's completely energy neutral. The home has deep wells that pump 67 degree water throughout the house and back into the ground. The water heats the home in Winter and cools it in Summer. The home also has a 25,000 gallon cistern that recycles all of the rainwater and all of the wastewater (after it's been purified by passing through filters) and uses it for irrigation.

Why are you so ashamed of a man who's done nothing but good for our County and what are you siding with those who have done NOTHING for our Country? What's wrong with you?

Answer 6

I am ashamed of what our political leaders are doing around the world. Unfortunately, at each election we only get to vote on extremely bad choice #1 or much worse choice #2. We need for a politcal good guy to come along - get up on his white horse and ride into Washington and fix things.
But, you know, that at the next ballot counting (regardless of who's running) the count will be 49.9% to 50.1% showing once again how divided our county is along party lines.

Answer 7

I don't.

Has he made mistakes, yes. Haven't been a President yet who didn't.

Time will tell....but I believe he will go down as one of the best of all time. There have been only two people elected from the Democratic Party as President since 1968.......

Answer 8

Face it the choices the two major parties give us are pretty much

Which inbred, imbecile, billionaire, Yale Frat Boy son of priviledge do you hate least

Answer 9

He's the low point of politics world-wide since the ancient Rome - namely, they were the last time/place where demented members of large dynasties were leaders just because of their families, reaching their positions through lies and manipulation. And, like they destroyed Rome, so this demented member of a dynasty ruins the States, Dick's little Nero.

Answer 10

No. Whats so bad about Bush except that hes an overspender? Right now his administration are the only ones in Washington wearing suits that give a rip about national security not to mention our troops. They are the only ones that understand what America is up against in Islamic extremism and they are the only ones that have the stomach for war.

The only damage to our reputation comes from a relentless assault by the liberal one-way media and liberals who feel they cannot defeat conservatism in the arena of ideas so they must try to destroy them and silence them instead.

I think Bushs legacy will rest with the war on terror. The next time there is a terror attack in this country, everyones going to look back to Bush for inspiration in fighting extremism. All democrats (except rare ones like Joe Leiberman) have a live and let live philosophy with terrorism and that is not the American way in dealing with tyranny.

I agree with the overspending bit but dont play the "fiscal responsibility" card against republicans. Rest assured and youll see from this congress that democrats are no friend economically of the public. They will spend like meth addicts and they will raise your taxes through the roof. Unchecked, and they will turn this into a socialist state complete with 30% unemplyment, 50-70% taxes, and wait-in-line socialized medicine. Ick!

Answer 11

I think liberal Americans are at an all time low point.
The garbage of "I support the troops but not the mission!" is a slap in the face. What exactly do you support - that they come home? That they continue to breathe as a human? Then support them in the mission they chose to accept, you hypocrites! How can you say you want them to come home when you continue to embolden the enemy with your hatred and hyper-focus on parties.
