Comments on: Bush’s Monument http://www.texasobserver.org/blog/?p=1226 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:47:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Bert http://www.texasobserver.org/blog/?p=1226#comment-98098 Bert Fri, 19 Dec 2008 02:35:02 +0000 http://www.texasobserver.org/blog/?p=1226#comment-98098 " Bush's Monument " answers the question, "How did a liberal, black candidate win the Presidency when most voters are neither black nor liberal." The fact is, Republicans like Bush, Cheney, Phil Gramm, et. al. promised what most voters wanted, then delivered something entirely different. As President Bush so eloquently said, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well, we won't be fooled again." ” Bush’s Monument ” answers the question, “How did a liberal, black candidate win the Presidency when most voters are neither black nor liberal.” The fact is, Republicans like Bush, Cheney, Phil Gramm, et. al. promised what most voters wanted, then delivered something entirely different.

Bush deserves a pile of debris as a monument for his relentless undermining of competence in governing.

To say the current financial crisis is solely due to Bush, conservatism, Texas, whatever is so simplistic as to be infantile and not worthy of reading. You know better (or you should), and if you don't, leave the analysis that to more sophisticated minds (see Michael Lewis in Conde Nast). Further, Bush, like his father, never held nor practiced core conservative beliefs. They actually believe in government, as long as they are in charge. This is just kicking the loser in the ass as he leaves. It contributes nothing to the discussion. I don't agree with many of TO's positions, but the reporting and analysis is at least well researched. Do your work or say nothing. This is a shallow analysis and not worthy of TO.

I heard someone speak one time about the topic of “what will you do with your dash.” Basically, if you walk through a cemetery and see (i.e) 1930-2000. . . it’s amazing how quickly our “dash” will blow right by us. What will our peers say when they walk by our monument one day? I agree with this premise.
