At what point will conservatives be embarrassed by President Bush?

Question

This is not a question from a Democrat, nor one that is meant to insult your ideology. But I am honestly curious: this is a President who has manipulated facts (if not actually lied) concerning the war on terrorism, has raised executive privilege to a ridiculous degree, and has blithely ignored or threatened moderates in his own party (not to mention the Democrats).

So I ask you honestly: how far would Mr. Bush have to go before you uttered a single critical word?

Serious answers only, please.

Thanks.

Answer 1

True Conservatives have no need to be embarrassed. However, neo-cons live in a vacuum and are too brainwashed to be embarrassed.

I was in a car with one True Conservative and two neo-cons during the Foley scandal. One of the neo-cons stated "I believe that the liberal media is the cause of all this Foley mess". I couldn't believe my ears. Neo-cons have the IQ of a moon rock.

Bush is NOT a conservative. He only claims the name yet has no clue as to what true conservatism was founded on. Bush is the living embodiment of a neo-con.

Answer 2

Look man you your not listing if you haven't heard conservatives being critical of Bush. There are very few issues that he has been on the conservatives side of. In fact the man is a liberal like his father. He got a couple of important issue right though.
They found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Mustard gas, C4 and so on.
I live under about 1 billion gallons of water held by a dam. You think that it would be mass destruction if some C4 blew it up? You better believe it.
What about mustard gas in Times Square new years eve?
Why do you think Iran gave up there nuclear program? Could it be that they saw us defeat Iraq in a few weeks and didn't want what they got? Wake up! This is war for survival.

Answer 3

Embarrassed isn't the be conscious . try sickened . the place became her help for her son while he became turning out to be up ? She is tarnishing the memory of her son who died serving his united states of america ; and utilising him for political motives . on each occasion I hear her call i won't be able to help see that photograph of her head leaning on Jesse Jackson all gooney-eyed ..as though being delivered approximately the slaughter and loving each minute .. how many cases does she think of she's entitled to have inner maximum conferences with the President . i do no longer see how she could bypass protection everywhere . She's unbalanced . a suitable spokes-mouth for the liberal reason .

Answer 4

Why should anyone be embarrassed ?
You clearly believe that Bush is deceitful (manipulated xx with intent),overused executive privilege (as if other presidents have not how many criminals were pardoned under Clinton,or secrets sold to the chinese to fill clintons pockets) and refer to threats.
Since when is a threat to veto based on no desire to see billions of taxpayers $$ wasted on pork a bad thing? why should Murtha/Pelosi and others get billions $$ to erect libraries,build bridges award their cronies by funding "projects"..
What I find ABSURD is that many such as yourself seem to be obsessed with BUSH...when the dysfunctional congress is obsessed with political power games rather than the security of the nation. People seem to think that finding new information somehow proves that someone lied ???
The need to be "critical" only has value if the critique serves to provide explanation for why the error occurred.
(i.e. bad intelligence /Sadam H fooled everyone inc. Iran,had the help of UN crooks &cronies...so what can be done to fix the intelligence services/remove the political agenda types/disgruntled employees whose turf was re-organized ...)
should we ignore incompetence or deceit for personal gain if it exists in agencies that provide info simply to blame the boss because you dont like him?)
--You and every one else has an opinion so what?So what do you get out of someone agreeing that they are embarrassed for Bush? I dont get it to me its petty and juvenile!

Answer 5

I have yet to find him do anything that I wouldn't do. He's a good president.

Would I have done it different? You bet... because you and I learn from 7 years of history. But I will never be so cunning to pretend that I knew all of this in advance as the libs claim. It's the dishonesty on the left that makes this president look so good.

Kerry claimed we had the worst economy since the Great Depression and the lib agreed and tried to make others believe it, although there were no soup lines.

They told us Kerry made better grades than Bush and we find out after the election it was just the opposite.

They told us Bush was the rich oil man but we find out Kerry's single plane is worth more than Bush's entire net worth.

We find the Kerry was not a millionaire, but a billionaire, after the election.

These are the lies that the left wanted us to believe about their last candidate. What kind of lies are they telling this time?

Yeah, Bush stands for conservative values and decency. Con games don't work with Bush or the conservatives. These con games are simply ignored for what they are... BS.

If you say it enough times it's true, is only good before about 3rd grade... after that, it doesn't work.

Answer 6

Thier are many critical republicans but we ar not going to go screaming down the street, about a lie that a president told. Honestly if you can name apresident that never lied i would be very impressed and suprised. If he lied on the war on terror i really cant verify because there were a lot of shady issues with wmd's in iraq since a wmd is not limited to jsut nuclear but also includes chemical and biological weapons. Secondly i will trut the cia or cnn every day of the week. The executive priv is kinda annoying but to be honest im more worried about the next president who might inherit it esspecially if they have power over congress we might end up with anoter jimmy carter. Moderates are always ignore about 10% of this country has a voice while the 90% of moderates are quite and just go along with it. its sad but true.I tihnk i answered your question somewhere in that rant.

Answer 7

Embarrased, no. Disappointed, yes. There is a huge difference between the two. But, as evidenced by several answers and the question, few people on YA are interested in those kind of distinctions.

Answer 8

Embarrassed because many conservatives were fooled into believing this guy was for real. I mean...a conservative.
Bush is a liberal. He wants permanent ethnic change in America, the Latinization of our culture just as many lib democrats want.
Did you see how HAPPY he was when Pelosi became speaker of the House?
This is because he's as do-nothing lib as she is!
And your premise is indeed false I am a Ronald Reagan worshiping neo-con! and I say this with pride and I have been knocking Bush for years. If you paid any discerning attention to conservatives....you'd see plenty of criticism aimed at the twit from Texas!
Bush is a Yale-educated dumby and he sold the American people down the drain on the immigration issue...and plenty of others too.

Answer 9

The immigration stupidity was that moment for me, and this sub-prime bail out is a little embarrassing. He also spent more than I'm happy with. But he has been good on most everything else.
I especially like how he gets under a liberals skin. He has made them so filled with hate they can't even reason any more. Cracks me up.

Answer 10

I don't like him either. I'm a Republican, officially, and a Libertarian in viewpoint.

The real and completely "over the line" as far as I'm concerned, is the bill from about a year and a few months or so ago that said that anyone who is SUSPECTED (not proven) of being a terrorist can legally be detained, incarcerated and questioned.

Can you say "thought police"? Big Brother is watching you? 1984, here we come.

***Ron Paul for President!***
