The Bush Presidency was anchored by a Republican control Congress for the first six years. There afterwords; the Democrats regain a slim margin of a lead; but not Filibuster proof. The reign of the Republican deregulation has proven to the American people, its failures not vicariously. Failure after failure has created the biggest aftermath and legacy of the Bush Rule. Indeed; historians on a generous day; would be hard press to show favor. How much of Bush's policies of last 8 years were supported by republicans in congress?
McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time.
It's ok that you are democrat. You have a right to your opinions..... even though they may be wrong!
Ok your definitely a liberal. However I do agree with you that a lot of his policies were wrong and this is coming from a conservative. You also forgot giving 40 Billion dollars to Africa to fight AIDS I was deifinitely against that!
Look, don't get me wrong, Bush is a horrible president, just like most of them, but I have a problem with No. 6. Seriously, name one thing Bush ';Deregulated';. He didn't ';deregulate'; anything. We still massive amounts of regulation, which big corporations are the only ones advocating to eliminate competition from smaller companies. Yes, his so called ';free-trade'; agenda is ridiculous, its really just government managed trade. Unfortunately, Bush advocates the free market, but doesn't practice what he preaches, so now people will think that the free market is bad and will call for more regulation which, in reality is just central planning, like the Soviet Union, which we all know had a superb economy. lol!!
Without going through everything you wrote, I think it is safe to say that the last 8 years were full of partisan politics and Republican Congressmen and women strongly supported the President.
