I believe that would be called highly selective respect.  Is it my imagination or are you complimenting an individual you previously regarded as a dunce?

It would be your imagination if you didn’t read or understand the second sentence of my two sentence post. 

And for the record, it is not the first time I have been complimentary of W (and his father) on this board.  I believe both to be fine Christian men.

Couldn’t agree more. 

Is more government the solution for said problems?

 No more than answering a question with another question.  My "off topic" question was a response to the emboldened below which is part of this thread.

I sure do miss Bush. He was a leader. In all honesty, his message reflects problems created on all sides. 

Couldn’t agree more.

The only thing about Bush that bothered me a little was he said nucular instead of nuclear, but he seemed like such an approachable man that I gave him a pass on that one.

I would also say he had the best sense of humor of any President I can recall.  Since he’s been out of office it is even more apparent, maybe because he appears more relaxed in interviews.  The mispronunciations (the one you stated most notably) was actually kind of an endearing quality to me as it reminded me of not my mother and wife, each of whom seem to take joy in mispronouncing certain words.

Just think, the man receiving all the praise today was blamed for everything that went wrong during his term and also for everything that went wrong in his successors first term.

The one that I think is the most off the wall is what happened in NOLA.  The incompetent mayor, Ray "chocolate city" Nagin, blaming his inadequacies on Bush.  We see where this fool ended up.

Prior Prez and Trumps opponent are responsible for Trump being elected.

That honor is given to Hillary and her baggage. And in order to get to Hillary he beat out over a dozen of the best the republicans had to offer. So between republicans and dems, Trump was the best the United States had to offer. smgdh.

I half-way agree, and obviously half-way disagree. I agree that part of the "honor" should go to Hillary and her baggage, but the more significant contribution should be laid at the feet of the mainstream media that unfairly demonized Bush and unfairly patronized Obama. The American voter was finally motivated to say enough is enough.

The economy and Dick Haliburtins war didn't help Bush

I've been working with him to increase his understanding of how things work politically.  He's come a long way.  Dropped out of the ACLU.  Learned to say conservative with only a moderate increase in bp, and now has a "What, me worry?" sticker on his car.

 

All joking aside, one of the very few liberals I can sit and discuss politics with in normal discourse.  We don't agree a lot, but respect each other's views.  I have family (in-laws) that I can't do that with.  How we all should be, but very few are.

I will now wait with bated breath for you to post a video and apology of/to Ted Cruz :) 

Don’t hold your breath, unless you’ve recently increased your cardio routine!  But don’t worry, there are few whor.... err, congressmen on either of side of the aisle I feel are owed an apology!

      Whatever happened to educating people so that they don’t go off the deep end pursuing an incident that shouldn’t be political in the first place? Seems everyone is looking for their “trigger”moment. The dumbing down of America has taken its toll. Anyone who would hold this against her is doing so out of spite and for political gain. Said people need to be ignored.

      You won’t get an argument from me that this won’t hurt her nationally but I don’t think this will hurt her in SD or even an appointment in a Republican administration.  I’m sure she saw backlash from some, apparently not from folks like you and me, which is significant, but like I said, I appreciate the honesty.

      Appreciate the confidence.  Why don’t we see how this works out for her.  Going great so far.  She MIGHT be able to get re-elected in South Dakota next election, but if a good candidate runs against her in the Republican primaries she may be in trouble.  I don’t think there’s a chance in hades she gets the VP nomination, and if for some reason Trump is dumb enough to give it to her, his chances of winning are probably over.  On a positive note, maybe DeSantis gets it now?  If they win and do a decent job then we’d have a VP ready to run for president in four years with a good shot of winning.

      I honestly don’t have an issue with it.  I grew up around livestock.  We had a neighbor lose nearly 30 animals in a 3-week period before they caught the dogs doing it. Those dogs needed to die.  I was there when my uncle killed a dog that was eating his chickens… didn’t bother me. If one of my dogs ever bites one of my kids it’ll be dead.  Immediately.  But some things are better left unsaid, and probably 90% of the country loves dogs, with only a small fraction of them being able to relate to why she did what she did.
