Scads of democratics were all behind that bullshit (USAPATRIOT passed 98-1 in the Senate). Moreover, none of them has moved to pare back the fascistic snoop state one iota.You do, of course, realize that the USAPATRIOT act is a huge compilation of the Clintoon/Reno wish list, don't you?Not a rightwinger, but Bush was able to advance America quite a bit along its way to becoming a fascist police surveillance state.
As to why it shouldn't be brought up, that's just a standard Republican tactic. If one of theirs fucks up, it is "all in the past" or "we don't want to play the blame game." On the other hand, if a Democrat fucks up, there must be a congressional investigation and his whole life must be put under a microscope.
Then there is the whole denial thing, that he was never really a "conservative." In a few years, they will be rewriting history about him, just like they did with Reagan.
After that, what has Boiking or any of his Bolshevik congressional glee club done to curtail all that police state overreach?
Whose administration gave us the Patriot Act? Who gave us the TSA? Who gave us the DHS? Who gave the president unheard of powers, including the ability to declare persons enemy combatants? The genie is out of the bottle. Good luck getting it back in again. The government, no matter which party is in power, isn't going to relinquish powers it has been given.

obama has advanced this country to only 8.2% unemployment and then to taxing the shit out of you..
quite a glowing achievement
Lead the war on terror after the 9-11 attacks and did a good job in my view beyond that there is not much that stands out. I don't bring him up because what he did as President is no longer the issue the issue now is what the current President has done and is doing and I suspect if the Obama policies had worked better you on the left would not keep trying to bring Bush back into the picture. It looks like the classic case of can't find much to praise your guy over so go after the last guy.During his entire 8yr tenure what exactly did Bush Jr. accomplished that has advanced America forward as a country?
Most importantly, why do you on the right act as if b/c he he's not in Office anymore (thank God) that he doesn't matter, shouldn't be brought up and/or not to be mentioned again?
Any takers?

War on terror. That's pretty much it. The rest of his actions have been mediocre at best. Pretty disappointing.
Still, at least he had some leadership skills. Unlike our current President.

So let me get this straight, a person who ONLY got "war on terror" accomplished and was mediocre, and pretty disappointing, and this is by your own standards...had leadership skills?
Are you sure you're not mistaking willingness to follow with actual leadership skills?
I believe the leader of the GOP, Turtle Man specifically stated at some point in the current Administration that previously Republicans were willing to go along with just about anything Bush said due to partisanship and not-so-willing to go along with what Obama wanted due to partisanship. It was basically said in that manner, I'd have to look it up.
I think you guys are mistaking your personal willingness to follow a leader on your side of the isle with actual leadership skills.
The "war on terror" by itself has been considered a colossal failure and is arguably the reason the country's in this financial mess in the first place. But yet you seem more than willing to label Bush as a good leader.
Fascinating.

The answer IS subjective. Therefore whatever YOU think "good" or "bad" is.We passed through 8 years. That is called forward. However, since no one can effect the march of time...During his entire 8yr tenure what exactly did Bush Jr. accomplished that has advanced America forward as a country?
Most importantly, why do you on the right act as if b/c he he's not in Office anymore (thank God) that he doesn't matter, shouldn't be brought up and/or not to be mentioned again?
Any takers?
You will have to define what you consider 'forward as a nation'. Until I know what you think is good and bad, there is no way I can begin to detail what information you want.
Forward to a leftist would not be considered advancement to Me.
Who's this "we" you're speaking of?During his entire 8yr tenure what exactly did Bush Jr. accomplished that has advanced America forward as a country?

Dont cry....
We as a nation liked the cowboy better than the brokeback'd punk we got now.

Bush Jr wasn't a conservative, so why do you imagine any right-wingers are going to defend him?
At least he didn't destroy the country as Obama is doing in rapid fashion.

So go piss up a rope, with all your fuax concern over civil liberties...You're a fake and a party man hack.
