and he did exactly what he did while in office. No difference, just the party-- would he still have been such a lousy president?

Nope. The liberal mainstream media would be behind him all the way. For example, our economy, unemployment rate, etc is just as good, if not better, than it was with Clinton. But the liberal media portrays the economy as bad because a Republican is in office.

Yes. Bush's policies are exactly the reason why he is such an abysmal President; had a Democrat enacted those policies, they would have been just as disastrous for American and the rest of the world.

Yes, what he has done remains regardless of party makes him an awful president. Although if he was a democrat, his supreme court justice nominees, defense of marriage act, and his rampant military spending certainly would have pissed off the democrats. I think it's better he is a republican, or else the 2 parties would be far too similar.

Absolutely! Democrats are not so blindly loyal as to follow their party down the abyss of failure and incompetence.
Democrats condemned Clinton's misdeeds, but he was still a great President.

My views on him would still be the same yes. Take away his political affiliation and he is still a guy who has no concern for the low income families in the country, he is still a man who put us in war over Oil. Just because you make him a Dem, doesn't make anything he's done any better.

If Bush had been a Democrat, the Republicans would have impeached him, before they lost their majority in the House.

Absolutely. Bush is a loser no matter what party he would represent. The real question is, would Rove be able to survive as a democrat?

As a republican I can honestly say I still wouldn't have voted for him, he did a good job after 9/11 but his social policies are stunting America's growth.
