Even the Conservatives are over Bush. Jim Geraghty writes on NRO:
“Even if you like this president, even if you’re pulling for him, even if you think his heart is in the right place… is there any way this presidency doesn’t look pretty disastrous at this moment?”
Hopefully our nation has learned that just because you would feel comfortable having a beer with someone doesn’t qualify him to lead the free world. We now have serious problems and we need serious, intelligent, experienced people to solve them, not a President that makes us feel warm and fuzzy.

Isn’t it absolutely insane that it took the nation six YEARS to figure out that this guy was a moron. I mean, I’m American. I know a lot of Americans. And I really don’t think we’re all that stupid.
And I pity the people who were ever stuck having a beer with Bush.

I’m not one for letting Bush off the hook as a moron. I think he is dishonest and just plan mean, to his core. Being emotionally and intellectually underdeveloped doesn’t give him a free pass. A lot of what he has done, like promote torture, can’t be excused by stupidity. And, his claims of close ties to God smack of hypocrisy in the light of his vicious personal attacks against any and all opponents, no matter how trivial the disagreement is. The latest examples are the firing of the US attorneys. Suddenly, the very people Bush thought were so capable, are fired…immediately before or immediately after the last election.
Bush has never been conservative, which is why he preceded the word with “compassionate”, which was a slap in the face to anyone who defined themselves as merely conservative.

The biggest mistake President Bush made in 2001 was to keep hundreds of U.S. Attoneys and DCI Tennet! He tried to start out not being viciously political. BUT WHAT DID THAT GET HIM? Bad intelligewnce from the Democratic cabal inside the CIA such as the gang in the Non-proliferation Group where Valerie Plame worked! By keeping those people who he believed he could trust, he exposed his Administration to a whole series of Gottchas! What does that prove? Simply, that when you go to Washington, you do not go soft when you’re playing geopolitics with the State of Israel, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the ACLU, ATLA, the Neo-Conservatives who made the case for attacking IRAQ because it would remove Israel’s worst enemy. Somehow, I get the feeling you fellows buy into the strategy to disunite this country for some ulterior purpose. What exactly is your motivation? That is the bigger question we should be blogging about throughout the Nation! — CQH

We have some criticism of Mr. Bush and if you read other than BLOGS and have the time, there are many items available at http://www.baldeaglejournal.com/
I am amazed at the flavor of the rhetoric that I see here in BLOGLAND. I thought this would be more serious, decent and not be focused so sharply on what can be heard ad nauseum in a local bar room! There are major problems loose in this country in its Culture, Politics, Economy and Government that needs to be debated calmly and seriously. You wont get it on TV or Radio, so we should try to make this medium a Voice of Reason and Decency. We have a Congress that has become dedicated to the two major Political Parties, rather than serving the People’s and our country’s interests and needs!

“Isn’t it absolutely insane that it took the nation six YEARS to figure out that this guy was a moron.”
“Being emotionally and intellectually underdeveloped doesn’t give him a free pass.”
I am surprised by the deep personal hatred many who have posted here seem to bear for President Bush. The man is certainly not a moron. He is a man of convictions- convictions I often disagree with. It is sad to see this level of unwarranted disrespect shown to a sitting president. I didn’t like it in the 90’s when the Republicans did it, and I dislike it just as much now that the positions have reversed.

I understand how you might dislike this, but i wonder how you can not be PERSONALLY OUTRAGED like most of us, and if President Bush is a man of convictions, well you should be AFRAID of these convictions… that torture is just a little problem a few bad apples did….. that killing THOUSANDS of IRAQI’s is also just a little problem, That eventually we will win this ILLEGAL INVASION if we just send more troops? HIS CONVICTIONS are the reason he is loathed… get a clue here…… and do everything in your power to embrace your responsibility to see him and his croanies IMPEACHED…. because that is only the beginning of what WE THE PEOPLE need to do in this country, to show the rest of the world we do INDEED care about them…and do not tolerate TORTURE and killing and war for profit… as Dick Cheney’s pocketbook gets bigger, you dare to defend GEORGE BUSH’s convictions??? I am simply blown away…..

Speaking of an illegal invasion by the USA in IRAQ:
how do you view the occupation of The Holy Land/Palestine by Zionist Jews beginning soon after the end of the First World War? Read the blockbuster study available at http://www.baldeaglejournal.com/history.htm
The beneficiary of the U.S. attack on the Hussein Regime was the State of Israel, a country that was struck by 37 Scud missiles from IRAQ during the Desert Storm military action in 1990-91.
The occupation of Palestine by Zionist Jews has been going on for 80 some years and every U.S. President since Truman has affirmed our support of Israel. Carter’s Camp David Accords gave Israel an annual aid package of $3 billion ; similarly, Egypt receives $2 billion per year.
Israe received a much more liberal package in which it can spend the money we give them to spy on us, to finance political campaigns against Republican members of Congress and boot them out of Congress!
Actually, our relationship with Israel is a far more puzzling situation. We need to debate that war because our bad relations with the Middle East is based upon our blind support of Israel since 1948! How has that relationship, which is not documented or submitted to U.S. Voters, served our strategic interests?
We here at BEJO agree with the other Blogger that the insults and disrespect directed at The White House is shameful and inappropriate. It encourages our enemies in the Middle East to continue their attacks on us here and abroad. They are delighted every time they see and hear how DISUNITED we are!!

Sorry, one other point regarding Conservatives abandoning Bush:
Which Conservative are you talking about — the one over age 76? Or the one under 35? There are three kinds of Conservatives based upon age running loose on the Fruited Plain today! Democrats want to known now as PROGRESSIVES! No matter how you camouflage them they are the Freeloaders and the Headshakers!
Bush and Clinton are BOOMERS and they and their offspring are a new mix of Conservative and Liberal ideologies! Let me rephrase your title a tiny bit: Bush (and others of his generation) have abandoned the Conservative Movement? Actually, there are few sharp distinctions today between DEMS and REPUBS. That is why we need an American Independent Party to provide a home for the honest reasonable people who feel lost in the CENTER of the political spectrum!
Want to know What and Who you really are as a Citizen/Voter? You should know that first — defining terms and stuff, yaknow!
First, you have to know which kind of Citizen you are! For that answer
Go to this link and take the test:

Evolution and indoctrination in our public schools and universities have changed the meaning of the terms Liberal and Conservative. We need a better set of terms to deal with today’s political madness!

It’s kind of like saying conservatives abandon the embodiment of conservatism. His post reads more like an attempt to distance himself from a perceived failure.
Martin’s post is quite telling (linked through Jim Geraghty’s). It is more about the difficulty candidates will face selling conservatism given the President’s abysmal failures. He almost seems to be complaining more about marketability and strategy, rather than awakening to the principles of it all…
