   The best thing George Bush can do for the GOP is to immediately and publicly change his party to Democrat. Let him trash their brand for a little while.

   McCloud9,
   We don’t need a ConCon. There is nothing wrong with the Constitution.
   A ConCon cannot be limited. If we have one we would almost surely end up with our Constitution rewritten into something resembling the EU constitution.
   What we need is for the American people to force our elected representatives to obey the Constitution.

   SingleStack… What do you think The Powers That Be have been doing to the CONSTITUTION? UPHOLDING IT???
   Our PRESENT Govt. is A DISGRACE!
   If they upheld their SWORN OATH of OFFICE we would not be in this mess.

   In even worse news so to speak, guess who’s Time’s Man of the year is, Also alot is spoken of America’s “Racial devide” Last time I looked interracial relationships were at an all time high and growing, before Obama, and the KKK hasn’t blown up a church in quite a while, or the Black Panthers starting a race riot. I’m dissgusted with this world.

   I forget who coined this, but I must say that it speaks for me: “I am not abandoning the Republican party the USA, the Republican party USA has abandoned me. “

   Fixed that one too.

   It’s not just a party folks, it’s the entire nation. It’s the foundation, what started us and made us what we are: the Constitution. RIP

   Ok, while there are things Bush has totally screwed up, you can at least blame him for those things he actually did!!:

   Bush:

   Bombing for peace.

   As opposed to what – appeasement and surrender for peace?
   We are currently at peace with Germany and Japan. Do you even understand why?

   Torturing for freedom.

   Not what we did. We haven’t tortured anyone. Bush hasn’t tortured anyone.
   BTW, I use the real definition of torture – not the liberal definition.

   Imposing governments for democracy.

   You don’t impose freedom.
   Again, I go back to the examples of Germany and Japan. Were they better off under the governments they had in 1940, or the governments they have today?

   Spying for security.

   You have to spy for security. Ultra. Magic. Enough said.

   Socializing industries for capitalism.

   This I agree with totally. WTH was Bush thinking? This was straight out of the democrat party playbook!!

   Bush has one principle: that he is on the side of good, and that nothing he does in its name, no matter how evil, can possibly be wrong.

   Given how many things that you got wrong of what he’s actually done, this is very interesting.All it tells me is that Bush has finally joined the democrat party – because that’s the principle they live under.

    g w bush as president did give us 7 years of relative peace, but it also cemented in place the bailout the victims mantra of the government. i look at the world trade center Victims bailout where we taxpayers forked over about 3 million bucks to every victims surviving relative, then katrina victims, where we spent billions for years to pay people who never worked in the first place, then ike victims, then banks, then auto companies and insurance companies and soon cities and states and schools and… compassionate conservatism indeed! i see the compassionate part with the taxpayers money, where is the conservatism?

    Bush’s comments reflect an extraordinary departure from his longtime advocacy for an unfettered free market…

    Um, what longtime advocacy would that be? Is that the advocacy that inspired his steel tarriffs? The prescription drug plan?

    Sigh.

    Thank you, GWB, for instituting policies that gave our military some teeth and have our enemies on the run. Unfortunately just about everything else you did is as f’d up as a soup sandwich.

    Lets see, we had a 40 percent stock market crash, a recession that will linger, a large drop in jobs, large business and banking failures. These are things that were there jobs to avoid, yet they deserve some kind of reward. I feel that I am Alice in Wonderland.

    I’ve abandoned being faithful to my wife in order to save my marriage.

    I’ve abandoned my diet in order to lose weight.

    As a high-powered realtor, the Chicago Tribune reported, Mrs. B. raked in more than $700,000 in commissions on business deals after Hot Rod began raising money in 2000 for his first gubernatorial campaign.

    If memory serves, wasn’t Susan McDougal also a real estate agent? Advice to Patty B. – you may wanna talk with Mrs. McDougal, should someone from the Obama camp come around with an “offer.”

    I hate to say this but I really see disaster. The unholy allience of Bush, Paulsen, Pelosi, Ried, Frank, Schumer, Dodd and sundry others to “save” our economy is a poorly diguised effort to crash the entire financial underpinnings of the United States.

    When this happens, and it will happen, the the predictions of Gen.Tommy Franks and Sec Treasury Paulsen to the effect that we “throw out the constitution, establish a Military Government and declare Martial Law may very well come to pass.

    The situation the nation finds itself in “reeks” of colusion and criminal activity on the part of our political leaders with an active participation of the Mass Media.

    If one is honest with oneself and steps back and looks at recent events with an emphasis on this “election” and the activities of such a Soros, Acorn, Franken ect, ect one reaches an unexcapable conclusion. We’ve been had and it is our own fault. No wonder our elitest political class has no respect whatsoever for the “Joe the Plumber”s or the likes of Sarah Palin.

    In their eyes we are to stupid “to get in out of the rain”.

    We may have a shot in two years (2010) We had better get our butts in gear and make this next two years the most miserable our media and political elite have ever thought possible in their worst nightmares.
