This should terrify any conservative.

Whenever I read national review and think of how crass and unintelligent it is, I think of Tex sitting there reading intently. Fred Barnes give me an f-ing break. Worthless.

At least nixon knew what he was. GWB thinks he is a gdamn genius.

Delusion doesn't begin to describe it.

Yes, I'm saying someone could have done worse. Carter did. Perhaps the next guy will too.

Bush is not a conservative. Never was. Never has been.

You have a lot of angry words, but not a lot of substance. It doesn't take much genius to say, "I hate _______" over and over and over.

Bush was a terrible president Tex, from a conservative's point of view. I believe it is arguable who was worse, Carter or Bush, and I come down on Carter, but people certainly can reasonably disagree on that one. Bush along with Taft and some of the early 20th century presidents were terrible Republicans, excepting TR of course.

It will- if Obama tries to exert the same expansion of powers. The conservative argument in favor of a strengthened executive has been remarkably short-sighted and naive.
