Will Republicans finally welcome George W. Bush to their convention this year?

[rdean]

Republicans wanted George W. Bush so bad to be president, his brother and the Supreme Court made sure it happened.

The country spent an unbelievable 8 years under Bush and the Republicans.

Supporting the middle class and jobs the way Republicans always seem to.

What they did in the Middle East with their Freedom Agenda.

The surprising way they handled the US economy and what their policies meant to the country.

Republicans should bring George W. Bush to the Republican Convention and let him talk about the amazing ways Right wing conservative policies have affected this country. Especially under his administration. They could bring up reconciliation and the unforeseen ways they used it.

Why do liberals always like to start their posts off with bald-faced lies?

I guess they want to illustrate their stupidity for everyone to see, so we can stop reading early on!

No one familiar with the jurisprudence of Justices Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas could possibly have imagined that they would vote to invalidate the Florida recount process on the basis of their own well-developed and oft-invoked approach to the Equal Protection Clause.

In the decade leading up to Bush v. Gore, Justices Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas cast approximately 65 votes in non-unanimous Supreme Court decisions interpreting the Equal Protection Clause. Nineteen of those votes were cast in cases involving affirmative action, and I will return to them in a moment. Of the 46 votes that these Justices cast in cases that did not involve affirmative action, Justices Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas collectively cast only two votes to uphold a claimed violation of the Equal Protection Clause. Thus, these three Justices found a violation of Equal Protection in only 4 percent of these cases.

For the sake of comparison, over this same period, and in these very same cases, the colleagues of Justices Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas collectively voted 74 percent of the time to uphold the Equal Protection Clause claim. 74 percent versus 4 percent.

Against this background, one must wonder why Justices Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas suddenly discovered power and beauty in the Equal Protection Clause in Bush v. Gore. Indeed, as a group they cast more votes (three, to be exact) to uphold the Equal Protection Clause claim in Bush v. Gore than they had previously cast in all of the non-affirmative action Equal Protection Clause cases that they had considered in the previous decade.

Equal Protection? The Supreme Court's Decision in Bush v. Gore

If it looks like judicial activism, smells like judicial activism, and feels like judicial activism, it's judicial activism.

So, what do you think any of that proves?

Not a damn thing. Your lie still stands.

I notice Jeb Bush is not mentioned at all. How could that be?

He was governor of Florida at the time.

A lie is "Obama was born in Kenya" or "Bush Tax Cuts for the rich will create jobs" or "WMD's" or "I'm not concerned about Bin Laden because he is living in a cave" or "Democrats only want to spend your money" or "supply and demand is a wild liberal theory" or "we were shimmered into being 6 thousand years ago" or "Republicans didn't block subpoena power so they could protect BP after the spill" and so on. Those are lies.

Suggesting Bush was helped into office by the Supreme Court and Florida is speculation. But speculation based on data and information. You can't prove it didn't happen. For some, the judicial activism by the Supreme Court is proof enough. Republicans constantly complain about judicial activism and the federal courts interfering in states rights. Well here is a perfect example. Act like a Republican. Saying it's OK because it's what you want is pure hypocrisy. And do you think Gore would have invaded Iraq? Do you think Gore would have create the massive deficit creating Bush Tax cuts? Would Gore have blackmaled Republicans?

John Boehner says Bush tax cuts created 8 million jobs over 10 years

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says

Would Gore have protected and apologized to BP?
Cut veterans benefits?
Cut school lunches for children?

Why you are complaining that you think I might be lying when your party is neck deep in every kind of lie imaginable is hypocrisy at the highest level.

My feeling is GOP Judicial Activism put George Bush into office and you can't prove otherwise since we know the conservative Supreme Court got involved and put Bush into office. We know that for sure.

You may not realize it but the Republican Party stole Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 Allah Ken Blackwell

 

[JakeStarkey]

Dems stole IL and TX in 1960.

 

[rdean]

Will Republicans finally welcome George W. Bush to their convention this year?

That's the real question here. Will they? Will Republicans ever welcome George Bush to their convention? He followed GOP conservatism to the "Tea". Tax cuts for the wealthy. Spending nothing on this country. War. No help with health care. Helping move jobs and companies to China to make more money. He was perfect.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

"Republicans should bring George W. Bush to the Republican Convention and let him talk about the amazing ways Right wing conservative policies have affected this country."

That republicans feel the need to hide him away is their concession that his presidency was an unmitigated failure.

 

[Harry Dresden]

slow night dean?.....

Who you like this week harry?

the same person i liked last week.....no one...

 

[rdean]

I think Bush should be a key note speaker during prime time at the GOP convention. He reminds people of what the GOP stands for.

 

[Siete]

notice 43 ain't stumping for his Bro ?


LMAO

 

[Staidhup]

Why not, he was after all a former president, understood the war on terrorism for what it was. But for those naive soles of little intellect they will forever blame baby Bush for the financial crisis, and trust in the prior administrations proclamation that Iraq had WMD's.

What is it with you libs and your "feelings"? Why can't you live in the real word where truth matters?

[easyt65]

rdean, your concern for Bush is touching...

Bush chooses to stay away, as he does not want any animosity or past to be dredged up that might negatively impact the Republican Party.

In contrast Liberals couldn't get Obama to stay away last election. Despite being told by nearly every Democratic Party politician running pleading with him to stay away, the Narcissist and Chief could not help making the entire 2014 elections about HIMSELF, declaring that 'this' election was about HIS policies, HIS plans, HIS actions, and HIS ideology ... which spurred on an historic, record-setting loss, politically and in the House and Senate.

Then there's Hillary, so focused on herself and what she wants that she REFUSES to step down while her world continues to disintegrate, especially not that the FBI has said not only are they expanding their investigation to cover corruption charges but that they almost / do already have enough with which to charge her.
- You go, gurl! Make 'em drag you out in cuffs - don't give up!

Oh lighten up. Last president we had to suffer through Bush's policies, HIS plans, HIS actions, and HIS ideology .

Which led to the first black man to win the Presidency. Do you realize how bad the GOP had to be for a black man to become president? I don't think you really do. The GOP was pretty fucking bad.

You do realize Bush took Carter's title for worst president ever, right?

WOW...can you BE anymore 'racist'? You DO realize that Obama OWNS the title as worst President in US History....not even close....right?!

A, tell me....how many MORE successful terrorist attacks on US soil are Obama going to allow and how many more dead Americans are he going to allow before he finally leaves office? Is he going to drag the country to war on his own again, force our military to fight for terrorists who slaughtered over 1,000 Americans so they can have their own country like he did in Libya? How many MORE Americans are going to die at the hands of the 'refugees' he brings in?

He's just another progressive, why should they??

I remember when his people and supporters were the ones running around calling people RINO's. The rube flock has moved on to a new definition of what a conservative is.

You have no idea what a real conservative is, w could not resist spending on foolishness like foreign aid much like Bill Clinton could not resist child molestasion/rape.

Why do [.........] always like to start their posts off with bald-faced lies?

The bar for Republicans is like 2 feet off the ground and the bar you set for Democrats is like 200 feet above the ground. Obama's the worst? Sorry chump. He'd have to start WW3 and put us in a global recession to take that title from King George.

You don't remember how bad Bush was because you are a stupid fucking Republican. Fucking idiot.

So again, you have nothing? I was a resident of Florida during that period of the 2000 election.

I watched the DEMOCRATS screw up the butterfly ballots used in many parts of the state, including where I lived.

I watched the DEMOCRATS publish a voting guide distributed to minorities in my city telling them to make sure to vote on every page of the ballot, which invalidated the entire ballot.

I watched DEMOCRATS try to change the rules of the recount process numerous times when they realized that their numbers would still show Bush winning.

I watched a DEMOCRAT who was head of the Florida Supreme Court side with George W. Bush in his appeals.

You want to know who gave the election to Bush in 2000? DEMOCRATS!
