Of course a lefty will come here to talk trash about Bush…BDS is rampant amongst you folks

from Katrina, to the struggles in Iraq, to Scooter Libby, etc

Katrina, the fault of the Mayor and Governor of LA. Struggles in Iraq? War is not easy young jedi, maybe in the comic books you read but not in real life. The sign of a true leader is one who adapts and overcomes which is what is going on now. Libby? You mean the man who was railroaded for forgetting a date, the man who didn’t leak the CIA desk jockeys name first…you mean that guy? And Bush is responsible for that?

You guys really do need to find some meds for your condition.

OF COURSE far-right wing “bomb middleeast” crowd is going to think Bush is the greatest president ever. You are just as bad as the far-left that think terrorism is some magical event that is made up for political gains. You need to look at certain things when you evaluate a president. Bush’s numbers are at NIXON levels here, and I’m pretty sure that while Nixon is not veiwed as ruining our country, he is less hated then he was when he resigned. Still, people know he was a crook, and corrupt. But all of you hard right wingers, think President Bush has done NOTHING wrong. Nothing! That the left has made everything up, from Katrina, to the struggles in Iraq, to Scooter Libby, etc. At some point, you have to realize Bush has worn out his welcome, and since this war in Iraq will be over in the next three years, and I doubt we can democratize Iraq by then, George Bush will be looked at as a failure.

In the real world

Rofl….yeah, your real world is THE real world. Puhlease.

He was only preparing for and concerned about winning re-election/outdoing his dad.

With polls showing a evenly divided country on Iraq are you that far into the leftist thought sewer that you cannot see the best thing for him to do to get re-elected was to just stay in Afghanistan? You can bet plenty of advice like that was thrown at him. Your pathetic attempts at explaining away your BDS is just that, pathetic.

The insult score is 2 to 1 in your favor with you starting it and me not participating in my last reply. Are you going to continue this game?

Calling narrowminded and ignorant comments just that is not an insult, its just pointing out fact.

Re: “Oh, the legacy that all you lefties believe is in tatters because he is staying in Iraq? That legacy?”

In the real world his legacy was tarnished awhile back for initiating action needlessly without complete preparation and or concern for the consequences. He was only preparing for and concerned about winning re-election/outdoing his dad. He and his minions gave estimates that would have had things wrapped up and troops coming home to victory parades in summer of 04. That was the point of my original post where I took issue with the claim that Bush was “One who does not govern by polls”. His legacy is only getting worse by staying without total and complete war there and at home(some sacrifices). Because of his concern about legacy and the psychological issues concerning his father, he is “staying” because he doesn’t want to “lose Iraq” on his watch, which koolaid drinkers and Bush think his father did by not rolling into Bagdad in the early 90‘s. The statement, “father knows best” is accurate on this subject. Dad told him not to do it. But that “psychological issue” and 04 elections made him ignore good/experienced advice.

“why didn’t he listen to the polls in March 2003”

Because he was more concerned about the polls in late summer/early fall of 04. That should have been obvious from my previous 2 posts.

“narrowminded and extremely ignorant.”

That’s the usual self projection type accusation of a koolaid drinking Bush Cult Syndrome(BCS) victim when confronted with an unpleasant truth.

Btw, if he cared about polls then why didn’t he listen to the polls in March 2003 which said the US was divided on going to war with Iraq? A good Clintonite would of waffled like leaf, thankfully we had a great leader in office instead of pure politician like Clinton or Gore:

HAS BUSH ADMINISTRATION MADE THE CASE FOR WAR NOW?

Yes
47%

No
44%

IRAQ IS…

A threat requiring immediate military action
45%

A threat that can be contained for now
43%

Not a threat
8%

SHOULD U.S. WAIT FOR UNITED NATIONS APPROVAL?

Yes, wait:

Now
59%

Last week
64%

No, take action without U.N. approval:

Now
36%

Last week
31%

and has psychological issues concerning his father

And there you go folks, another example of a leftist view of the world, narrowminded and extremely ignorant.

Re: “Explain why he isn’t bringing the troops home now then when the polls say he should?”

Last time I checked he isn’t running for office. He doesn’t care about the GOP now that he doesn‘t need them. He cares about his legacy and has psychological issues concerning his father.

You’re wrong about Bush being the kind of president we “rarely” see. We’ve never seen anything like him. He is unique among presidents in many ways, most of which will result in a legacy of ruin and disgrace. The lesson to be learned is that the nation should try not to elect someone who refers to the Constitution as a “fucking piece of paper” or an anomalous character such as, say, a fellow born in the East who claims to be a Texan but who is afraid of horses.

Your points on public relations are the common one thrown around by Conservatives which I do not agree with. The Administration has indeed tried to get their message out only to be drowned out by the MSM and the Shadow Party. Abu Gharib? What was he supposed to do? Beg for forgiveness?….he announced an investigation and then moved on….come on.

The Surge was also too late to help morale on the homefront. If he did that before Nov. ’06 the outcome could have been quite different.

Are you kidding? Do you really believe the Dem’s and the MSM would be glowing about the progress in Iraq if the Surge had come earlier…..wow. Thing is, when the earlier strategy wasn’t working he did what any good leader does and finds someone who can lead with a new strategy. If we all have the benefit of hindsight it would be a perfect world but alas, we don’t.

The troop also need legal defense funds these days. Nice sticking up for them Commander in Chief.

Oh please. While it sucks that some troops were railroaded, plenty are not. They didn’t have a legal defense fund when I was in and they don’t now. They get representation and a chance to go to trial just like anyone else in this country. Your just digging for excuses now.

Immigration. He sided against over 80% of the public. And he was on a side that couldn’t just lose gracefully tried to ram it down our throats.

He was on that side in the 90′s also, funny how you didn’t know that in 2000 and 2004.

He is definitely a spender but I can live with that as long as he reduces our taxes.

My favorite part:

He does have good points and responding to the Terrorist and also removing Saddam will probably prove out in history.

Well aren’t you swell for at least giving him that.

Sigh….

I’ll just cut-and-paste my comment yesterday, at Burkean Reflections and Dee’s blog:

I roll my eyes whenever I hear someone mention that “this is the worst president in history”. We won’t know the ripples in the pond for many years to come.

No, thank you. President Bush was and is, the right man, in the right place, at the right time in American history.
