Former Mexico Prez Vicente Fox informs us that Bush is clearly afraid of horses. On that basis, can't we stop the "cowboy" criticisms.

no, it's unfair to the horses, and cowboys.
though, "cowboy" in ref to the prez... maybe due to a certain percieved notion of "shooting from the hip" and not having careful aim?

Well heck that's because he and the Hillbillys go way back. During a recent appearance SHE stated that her second on the agenda was to tell the world the days of COWBOY Politics were over (for real ABC TV- The View) .
Now The Days of the Pant Suit politics are coming... for her just politics as usual. Bush is not running but she best. Fed's on her tails for campaign finance violations all over the place. From Hollywood, to China Town to China her self.
As the man above stated. He is a rancher. Crawford Ranch remember? In Texas??
Stop the criticisms?Not as long as a Clinton is on the Ballot.

He is not a true Cowboy. He is just another one of those that thinks a big hat makes him one. He is no different than those so called "cowboys" that you see driving around town in a Ford Fiesta wearing a cowboy hat. A true cowboy is up before the crack of dawn, works all day and returns after dark. Bush has people to do his work for him.

No, it's not fair to call him a cowboy.
It's also not fair to blame him on Texans, any more than it's fair blaming the wealthy corporate lawyer and conservative Democrat Hillary Clinton on New Yorkers.
Bush is the scion of a wealthy family from Connecticut (with summer houses in a compound in Maine). Cowboys are either working-class or small businessmen, so they HAVE to work, and work HARD, while Bush is just playing dress up on his Crawford estate.
As real cowboys say, "He's all hat and no cattle."

I don't think it's meant that he's a cowboy in the true sense of the word, but more a statement of his foreign policy style... as in "shoot from the hip". A real cowboy wouldn't have gone into Iraq without a plan because a real cowboy knows that his survival depends on being well-prepared.

More accurately Bush is a rancher. When casually dressed most ranchers look like cowboys. BTW, there sure have been a lot of photos of Bush on horseback starting years ago when he was in Texas politics, for him to be afraid of horses. Rediculous!!!!!!!

I believe he's called cowboy in the sense that he does what he wants, when he wants and damn the consequences. The people who call him cowboy are not paying a compliment.

I would call Bush a lot of things, but a cowboy sure as hell isn't one of them. Since there may be "innocent" eyes in here, I'll refrain.

Since this guy couldn't afford a vehicle and still rides horses maybe he knows what he's talking about.

And does it bother anyone that we have a president who likes to play dress-up? I mean, would he have got elected if he dressed as a pirate or a ninja??
