National Review: Bush Deserves The Credit For Making The Liberal Democrat's Candidacy Palatable

[dmgenet]

Bush made a mess of this country in many ways, and as any kindergartner knows, you must clean up after your self. Simple parable for an oh so simple man and his cabal of bunker living closed minded neocons.

NRO loves to listen to themselves masturbate.

[neoconslayer]

once again for the idiots like Swirsky:
We were attacked in 1993, and it took 8 years during which, according to lying scum like Swirsky, we just slept through Clinton''s incompetence.
IF it takes 8 years to pull off an attack when we aren''t paying attention, it MUST take at least that long when we are. THEREFORE, since 8 years have not passed since 9/11/01, BUSH HASN''T PROTECTED US FROM ANYTHING OTHER THAN OUR CIVIL RIGHTS!

However, Bush DID make Obama possible. Lying sack of PROVEN COWARDLY S*H*I*T will do that to a country...

''But if Russia continues to rear its head (by continuing provocations in the Ukraine, for instance), or if a confrontation with Iran unfolds, Americans are unlikely to elect a liberal.''

Of course, this is exactly the situation that the administration will try to foment. I mean, you don''t REALLY believe the admin. didn''t know what Georgia was going to do, do you? Just an October surprise that had to be started a little early.

''Now here we are, 16 years after Clinton, and Barack Obama is another young, unknown liberal. Does anyone really believe, if we had been attacked a number of times over these past seven years, the empty bromides of ''Yes We Can'' from a former ''community organizer'' would have registered in Iowa?''


I believe if that were the case, the Republicans couldn''t PAY a candidate to run.

"People in America feel safe, and President Bush - thanks to his advocacy of tough FISA laws, winning in Iraq, taking on the Taliban in Afghanistan, etc. - deserves the credit."

Are all the intellectuals at NRO on vacation this week? Experienced propagandists don''t make the mistake of turning themselves into straight men for the fertile parody and hearty ridicule that preposterous statements like this invite...

[kommoncents-2009]

Did you say Jimmy Carter was good looking?

On what planet???

[labrat9999]

Carl is that you son? Are you using this name "Seth Swirsky" you sneeky devil you! I did''t think there were anymore nutbags like this left or should I say that the media would let have a column. Guess I was wrong. How stupid!

[theoatwa]

****. this is laughable, i''m still rolling typing this.

i am constantly amazed at the stretched contortion of logic that right wingers have justifying outright failures. americans feel safer is such an empty assertion. where are the supporting facts or is that how the author and his extremist ilk feel thus must be true by their definition.

a number less than zero. what a one-lining joke. how about the 4,000 american soldiers we sent into harms way and the 1 trillion spent that with interest (to china) will be 10 trillion, and for what exactly? crappy return on investment considering al qaeda sacrificed a dozen martyrs and just spent a couple hundred thousand to pull off 9/11.

so much trite dogma. get a grip on facts and try to make an argument. enough already.

[whitemale08]

Bush''s success? ***????

The reason why Obama has a chance is because of Geoge Bush''s #1 failure and that was 9/11.

How dare this article credit George Bush with success?

Bush has so many lists of failures from the terrorism to the economy to Iraq and the ultimate failure of the "surge" that Americans are willing to put in Mickey Mouse or a "community organizer" in the White House.

Everybody can see that the so-called "Republican Security Specialists" is a hoax and failed Sept 11 2001 or 1 year of Bush''s term.

I''m warning CBS to stop printing articles like this, it makes us laugh and you look ridicolous.

[mtracy9]

A compliant media that never called Bush out regarding the war on terror is why so many Americans are confused and gave Bush credit for protecting them. Only now are many Americans realizing that they were duped. 4 planes were in the air for 2 hours yet fighter jets were only scrambled after it was too late. Meanwhile Cheney sat in his Whitehouse bunker and refused to order a shoot down, while Bush continued to read a story with children after the attack began. Also note that no one was fired for the gross incompetancy that took place on 9/11. Bush should have been the first to go.
