1. they failed to note that this man has BANKRUPTED everything he's touched

of course the conservatives ignored the business failures in his past.

[Trajan]

4. In all fairness ...

This cover 'covers' the presidential era, and does not include Bush's pre-presidential fiascos ...

That is, of course, another fiasco ...

[SOS]

41. Bush bankrupted 3 oil companies in a row

Harken, Spectrum 7 and Arbusto.

He's the MBA President!

[midnight]

5. Plus he is spiritually bankrupt too.

[alfredo]

18. As my dearly departed dad used to say, "Everything he touches turns to shit."

[pansypoo53219]

20. it's the MidASS touch.

nt

[SharonAnn]

26. Or, everything he touches turns into a rusty muffler? He broke the world!

[alfredo]

34. Or a reverse Midas.

[anigbrowl]

49. Surely 'Crash economy' counts

[Newsjock]

2. Not a joke!

I was understandably skeptical, but here's a link:

[progressoid]

36. Yeah, I did a double take when I saw it and had to check it out too!

[Marr]

3. And they cheered him, every step of the way.

These people are trying to pretend GW Bush isn't a Conservative. The whole reason they were all so enamored with him over the last eight years was because he is the most ideologically pure Conservative we've ever had in the White House, and he got everything he demanded.

It's their ideology that failed, not just GW Bush.

[liberal N proud]

6. Cheered him, enabled him and re-elected him a second term

[tavalon]

9. I'd debate that one little part with you, but it was close enough to steal

and that's bad enough.

I didn't believe the "close enough to steal" meme but it seems I was wrong. Strong enough turnout can keep them from stealing it.

[liberal N proud]

17. Enough idiots and morAns voted for him to make the steal possible

[yardwork]

23. Stole two elections for him, more like. They own him.

[tavalon]

7. He's not a traditional conservative, he's much worse, he's a Neocon

[no limit]

12. Not really. "the american conservative" has opposed Bush since it was founded.

in fact in 06 they urged their readers to vote Democratic because of their opposition to Bush.

[w4rma]

46. Democrats are the conservatives now. Republicans are the neo-conservatives. (nt)

[librechik]

13. And threatened any citizen who DIDN't cheer.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

24. Exactly. They didn't complain until he was unpopular.

[bbgrunt]

25. exactly. Conservatives are now trying to claim that B** was never one of them.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Oh, so he's not an 'American Conservative' anymore? Thought these idiots loved him.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. The American Conservative Magazine, allthough run by Pat Buchanan, has written some of the

most scathing articles about Shrub and his march to war.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. My feeling all along has been that Shrub intentionally did all of these things.

And he has indeed has Accomplished His Mission.

[glitch]

22. Seems so obvious. I honestly don't get why everybody doesn't see it. nt

[soothsayer]

29. Yup. All part of setting us up for the NWO, which poppy was angling for, and Gordon Brown just said

(after the G20 summit) "these are the birth pangs of the new global order"

shrubby totally did his job.

[librechik]

11. saving this to hand to idiot conservatives who complain about McCain losing

[The River]

42. I'd Like a Thousand Copies

to place under the windshield of every car
with an old "W" sticker or a still fresh McLame
bumper sticker. Any leftovers can be handed out
in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2018 or until there
are no Repuglicans left.

[malaise]

14. He's theirs

Fuck him and them. :puke:

[nichomachus]

15. Where were these people while all this was going on? n/t

[alfredo]

19. they wrote some scathing critiques of the bush junta.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

32. They have been the severest critics of Shrub all along. They wrote some of the

most incredible articles making the case against the Iraq War.
These are "traditional" conservatives who believe in isolationism, conservation of both our treasure and our land. They are also strong proponents of the Bill of Rights ala Bob Barr.

[ima_sinnic]

21. the cons are always the last to figure out things that are obvious to normal people

it only took them 8 years to put together this list! The intellect is overwhelming!
At this rate they will figure out who Cheney and the rest of the scum really are by, oh, 2025.

[Burma Jones]

27. Hell hath no fury like a morally and intellectually bankrupt movement

that finally figures out just how badly they were duped.........

[bvar22]

28. The Bush administration is the logical culmination....

..of Reaganism.

It isn't George Bush that is the problem.
The problem is "Conservatism".
It is time to drive a stake through the small, black heart of "Conservatism/Corporatism".



The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

[soothsayer]

30. Except Reagan hated Bush. was forced to take him as VP (by rockefeller?)

[sofa king]

53. It's also a great way to put your most likely primary challenger on ice.

[Beer Snob-50]

40. i gotta say that the problem is george w bush

he has the iq of a slug. he is easily manipulated by those around him. he wants to be loved by his "equals" no matter his bravado. unfortunatly his equals in the thought process are probably high school freshmen.

[Truth Teller]

31. Great, but I wish "expand entitlements" weren't on there

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

[4_TN_TITANS]

33. Nice try....

but they can't drop him that easily. An about-face that abrupt does much to discredit them. Bush is going to keep giving to the Dems for years to come.

[calimary]

35. Another Kpete Appreciation Thread on the way? If so, WELL-deserved, AGAIN!

This is GREAT! Warms my heart. What's bad for those cheap-ass stingey, selfish, short-sighted, narrow-minded assholes is good for the rest of us.

Shit - I just keep thinking back over the last eight years ('cause we started objecting immediately with whatever scraps of information we could dig up to buttress our case) when we were all completely demonized and smeared as traitors who loved Saddam and bin Laden and hated America.

I told my husband just now - I just can't EVER get out of my mind the vision of those scars on the side of my car where somebody keyed it, or that slashed tire that my daughter discovered, the hard way, when she was a new driver and using my car all the time. Just because of my bumper stickers: "bush KNEW," "Dean for America," and "War is Not the Answer." Criminy - you would not believe the dirty, even murderous looks I'd get on the road from knuckledraggers with their big-ass widebody trucks and big-wheels tires, and their cheap made-in-China yellow ribbon magnets and American flag decals and "Freedom Isn't Free" bumper stickers.

I'm just completely steamed. And saddened. Because this isn't the first such article I've seen posted this morning that would go into the Cassandra file (also known as the "We TRIED to Warn You" file).

Raw Story – Abramoff said he had agreement with White House aide just a month after bush took office:

[AspenRose]

37. Damn, I've got to go out and get a copy

That's a keeper

[SpiralHawk]

38. With corporate cronies, blast nonstop mindf*ck republicon propaganda lies

and thereby narcotize the TV-surrendered republicon lumpen proletariat into mindless obesience and obedience to the radical, greed-and-hate-filled republicon agenda of FAIL

[Jack Rabbit]

39. Misunderestimate hurricane

:rofl:

[pepperbear]

51. exactly how DOES one MISUNDERESTIMATE? n/t

[Swamp Rat]

43. They forgot: torture, mass murder, deregulation and privatisation

of social services and infrastructure leading to massive systemwide failures, fear and hatred used to divide the nation.... ad infinitum.

The GOP is dead.

[greeneyedboy]

44. Nice try, but it's a bit late to start distancing yourselves from Bush.

Sorry, American Conservatives, you inflicted Bush on us, and the American people aren't gonna forget.

[jillan]

45. Is this a joke? Photoshopped?

I am in disbelief.

[lpbk2713]

47. It's for real.

Link: http://www.amconmag.com/issue/2008/nov/17/

I'm bookmarking this. The name 'Bush' will be scorned for generations.

And rightly so.

[mwei924]

48. Couple years late on that.

[Number23]

50. HOLY CRAP!

Sorry for the lack of eloquence but HOLY CRAP! That's big!

And check this out:

"Remember him strutting onto that carrier in his little flight jacket? You never saw Eisenhower, a real general, playing out his martial fantasies this way. You can take the drink out of the drunk, but you can’t take the swagger out of a fool."

http://www.amconmag.com/article/2008/nov/17/00014/

:wow: A new breed of conservative indeed! :wow:

[Lerkfish]

52. sure. NOW they have buyers' remorse when its too late, they

got the leader they deserved: unfortunately, so did we.
