“Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.”—President Ronald Wilson Reagan


The United States is rapidly moving towards the 2008 national elections, ushering in a new era in politics. However, before opening a new chapter, it is necessary to first close the chapter on the old book, and reflect on the past eight years where the Republicans have held the Presidency, the House of Representatives, and the Senate for the majority of George W. Bush’s term in office. Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, you need not look any further than my title to realize how I, as a conservative feel about the Bush years. Many conservatives, myself included got into the trap of believing that George W. Bush would serve the Republican party well, that he would be a president very similar to Reagan, in the same way that while they never connected with the elites, they both always connected well with the American people. Unfortunately, not only was President Bush not like Reagan, but he completely dismantled the Reagan legacy of conservatism for socially conservative, big government populism. Before we move forward, we must understand what we are moving forward from, which is the Bush years that were a complete failure for conservatism and for the Republican Party.

Hmm, you think so? you think he'll need clue cards and remember movie clips as if they really happened? It could happen, McCain is getting up there in years. LOL Only making fun, Reagan at least recognized his mistakes and had a sense of humor. Johnnie sounds downright obnoxious at times.

Bush is certainly no conservative. Thats exactly why his approval ratings are so low. Of course libs try to spin his low ratings into meaning that Americans hate him and reject conservatism. But the truth is many of us who give Bush low marks do so because he isn't conservative enough, and we are far from running to the voting both to vote for Obama because of Bush's failings. Quite the opposite, we want to make sure another big spender doesn't get into office...namely Obammy.
