Martha Coakley was Bush-obsessed too.

You two should have a get together and have a real five minutes hate.

But what’s your next diary going tob e about? How much you don’t like Grover Cleveland’s monetary policy?

It’s more of a challenge to reply to diaries like this in the spirit of my Gandalf and the Bots diary. But it’s doable.

The Bush presidency is over. Some of us think he was a good president who did a few things we don’t like (my position). Others, like the author, think he was terrible in all ways.

BUT SO WHAT!!!!!

He’s not the president now. Let’s let history decide how successful he was as a president.

NOW!!! we have a socialist oriented president who is trying to expand the government on a scale not seen since the great depression. This is the guy we have to stop! We have to work together to get the monster out of office.

So I’d like to propose a cease fire and peace treaty between the various factions of Conservatives, Libertarians, Ron Paul supporters and yes even “moderate” Republicans.

Let’s quit the in fighting and join together to defeat the Democrats and their socialist agenda. We can fight each other later…..

Scott Brown’s victory shows what can happen when our various groups work together. John McCain’s defeat shows what happens when we don’t.

He liberated 60 MILLION people in the world

“Much of the condemnation of his policies though is driven by a venomous hatred of Bush’s personality and leadership style, rather than an objective assessment of his achievements. Ten or twenty years from now, historians will view Bush’s actions on the world stage in a more favourable light. America’s 43rd president did after all directly liberate more people (over 60 million) from tyranny than any leader since Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt. ”

Bush, Bush, Bush….heh!

That’s insane.

He made mistakes. We fought him on several issues. But you are not applying your judgement on his entire 8-year term. Here’s just two items:

1) He lowered taxes on many Americans as a first point of order.

2) He got our country through the worst terrorist attack ever conducted on our shores and set things up so that there was not another successful attack on our shores for the rest of his presidency.

I won’t go on except to say that you are applying the same logic as liberals do. We need to stay out of their playbooks – they are proven FAILS.

There’s no reason to post a diary maligning Bush; just about every conservative attuned to politics knows that Bush was an absolute disaster domestically and with the press. Rehashing this belabored point in such a tactless way is unnecessary, and convinces no one.

Also, who told you that Afghanistan was going to be an “easy victory”? Any mission to stop Afghanistan from remaining as the breeding ground for unstable elements was going to be a hard one, and the one that we have now (bringing constitutional republicanism to the region) is darn near impossible, whatwith the abysmal level of education and industrialization in the country.

4x the debt, 2x the jobless and 10x the excuses…
