Most of us Conservatives liked what Bush and his administration did. As a matter of fact I think that minus a few things it was damn right successful. Of course I didn't like Bush's refusing to close the borders and protecting American jobs, expanding govt debt, standing up to accusations from the left and not helping his own party. But you see that is the difference between me and you. I deal with facts and have the courage to criticize the Republican party when I think they are off track. And you are a lap dog and a parrot for your new and improved socialist party. But don't worry, truth eventually finds its way into the spot light and it will not be pretty.
