Amen!
I'm so tired of hearing conservatives who are still saying Bush failed. I too miss his quiet strength, resolve and love of country.
It seems that conservatives contemplating running for President are running against Bush!
And then there are the talk show hosts...Today Glenn Beck on Fox, stated that everything we are going through now was started by Bush.
Another thing, Republicans have got to stop apologizing for "getting things wrong." So, they weren't perfect...When has a Democrat ever apologized for anything?
and this was my reply...
Every apology says "the party of Republicans make lousy choices" for it was Bush and McCain that Republicans put on their tickets.
And it's catching...every day I hear "real" conservatives apologizing for Jendal, Steele, Palin.
If Bush had been a Democrat, we'd never hear the end of this great man...HE got us thru two, count them TWO recessions with hardly a wimper on mainstreet America...HE freed two nations and ended female apartheid! HE put fear into the hearts of our enemies and MADE two nations give up their nuclear weapons program...HE appointed Blacks in high places and most of his closest advisors are WOMEN!!
And McCain would be up for a belated Congressional Medal of Honor...his every moment of torture required reading...his no taking pork and his ability to work across the political aisle would be lauded as the ultimate statesmanship, an American Churchill!
Jendal and Steele would be proof of the parties respect for minorities and the reward of a good educational system that MUST be government supported forever.
Palin would be the first "serious" female candidate and her rural upbringing, her union husband, and her teacher parents would be examined and fawned over...
But they belong to the party where loyalty is an option...and thus, apologies are a requirement.
