Bush's Legacy

This scares the hell out of me; another reason to vote for Obama.

Bush's Legacy


Rod Dreher: "Can you find a single significant point on which Romney, Gingrich, or Santorum differ substantially from George W. Bush? It's amazing. If Bush were considered a successful president, they would be bringing him up all the time. That they do not, even as they have an incumbent Democrat they deride as a failure, tells you that they know Bush and his legacy are poison. And yet, they may not believe in Bush, but they sure believe in what he stood for. And so does the GOP base, evidently."

People even here at work. I ask them why are they Republicans?? I believe in Fiscal blah-blah-blah and Conservative blah-blah-blah and I hate the President. Heck one of my friends calls him Obummer. What the heck is that?? I guess they can't use Osama any longer so they make fun of his name. I guess it's OK to like Mittens and Newticles then

And yet, the still keep pushing bu$h's agenda, even when they all but deny there even was a President between Clinton and Obama.
Few will admit they voted for bu$h now. Even the SCOTUS backed away as they appointed him.
