I realize that this thread and it's predecessors were the results of the last Presidential elections, but I'm curious about your current thoughts on GWB. Not Republican vs Democrat or party politics as usual, but GWB as President of the United States.
Does GWB still have supporters among the posters here to the point where he would be the candidate of choice in the next election? I know he's a lame duck... I'm asking a 'what if'. Do you think that he would face a primary fight if he were able to have a third term? Would he be the nominee?
Do I support Bush as much now as I did??
I have to say no,I dont.
He has committed to many stupid mistakes and blunders for me to support him again.
I have just about given up on my support for him and most of his policies,especially the immigration issue.
I think he was wrong on that,and cant support him.
He has not controlled spending like he said he would,in fact he is spending now like a democrat does.
He was wrong to give up the fight for "privatization" of SS,even though thats not what it actually was.
He was wrong to not make the tax cuts permanent when he had the chance.
The list of things I thing he was wrong about is to long to type out here.
BUT,against the current crop of dem candidates,I think he would still be the best choice.
Against the current crop of repub candidates,I would not vote for him or support him.
BTW,I am neither a dem or a repub,but I AM a conservative.
