If one of Bush's biggest mistakes was not trying to unify the nation, Nobody can make that claim stick. He let Teddy Hic! Kennedy write his education bill. He came to Washington to set a new tone and end te partisan bickering. Democrats seized on that as a weakness and ratcheted up the partisanship from day one. They pretended to act nice for a few weaks ofter Clinton's chickens came home to roost on 9/11.

If one of Bush's biggest mistakes was not trying to unify the nation, why do you insist on repeating that mistake? This is a Bush Bash I never got -- that he didn't try to "unite" the nation. It is silly. From the day he took office, he was never given a chance. The partisan attacks were everywhere, long before Bush had done a damned thing to deserve it. The simple truth is that the liberals were sore losers. They lost the election, it was a close one, even when they tried to steal it they lost it, and they just could not get past it. So, they took it out on America by wishing and hoping for a Bush failure. It would be like you and me saying, "I hope Obama fails to win in Afghanistan" or "I hope Obama mucks up Iraq" just so we could blame him for it. Conservatives would NEVER, EVER do that, yet it is precisely what the Left did when Bush took office in '01.

>If one of Bush's biggest mistakes was not trying to unify the nation, why do you insist on repeating that mistake? Because shit's gone down the tubes so much in the last eight years (really, the last forty), that middling solutions ain't gonna cut it. Not to mention that the Republicans in Congress aren't even willing to go for them if they did. -Z

Shouldn't it? When you guys monopolized the debate it got us eight years of Bush. Two wrongs don't make a right. If one of Bush's biggest mistakes was not trying to unify the nation, why do you insist on repeating that mistake? There is little evidence that either you all or your leaders are willing to compromise at all. Its really rather surprising to me after all the failures of the Bush administration. Nonetheless, I see no effort to meet halfway......and you all on this thread are much better than other Republicans I have met. Ten, we won.....fair and square. Why should we have to kiss your butts to get you to be cooperative?
