Conservatism has nothing to be ashamed about! The Reprobate Dem’s and their godless liberal agenda do. The Dem’s can’t even blush at the immoral agenda they set forth. The Left demonizes morality and calls people who practice it evil. They twist right and wrong to justify their shameful agenda.
Bush, sad to say, sunk the boat and the Dem’s he appeased knifed him in the back.
We need not be ashamed to be called Conservatives! It a great war of ideologies which we need to win. Compassionate conservatism is for whips. To all the Bush haters…get a life and a new scape goat…..

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

I mentioned accountability: during the Bush years, the Congress was controlled by the Republicans for 6 of the 8 years. Did the President veto those mongo spending bills? Did he not spend well beyond the country’s means by borrowing for the war while cutting taxes?
Now the President , with all the power he has, has become just one simple man at the mercy of whom? Too convenient an escape.
Yes, Congress has failed us and so has President Bush. And how, pray tell, are we going to get back the power we have already given? Those who rule make the rules, I am afraid. I am not going to delude myself that it is otherwise.

@dario - I don't know you, you don't know me. If you did know me, you would know that I rallied against Bush on many fronts, and supported him on many others.

All in all, I think he is a very good president specifically due to his strength after 9/11, efforts against terrorists, and his push to cut taxes.

Bush 43 will not get credit where credit is due due to the pure hatred from the left (media), and remember that Congress is a very important part of the equation since they have significant control of the federal purse-strings.

The president is still just one person, and who that person is, is very important. That said, we must give more weight - and attention - to state legislatures, governors and local politicians. That is where the power should be when it comes to a significant amount of government dollars.

Congress has too much power - and they are failing us.

WOW, thinking about throwing Pres. George W. Bush (the worst president we ever had) under the bus already?
After 8 years of defending his actions, and policies, you are starting to question what he stood for?
I remember very well how all the talk radio bigshots from Limbaugh to Vicevich, defended all he did and he stood for every day( yea I know they took a couple of shots here and there)
All of Conservative land would have gained some credibility if it honestly kept his feet in the fire for accountability purposes; it was too easy to blame all on the Dems and their supporters.
Back to the wilderness and the hope of a rescue by Gov. Palin?

Let that be a lesson to you RINO’s. The only time you should reach across the isle should be to smack someone!

Compassionate conservatism. What a steaming pile. Conservatives, FIGHT for what you believe in! Don’t compromise your values!
