"Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy"

[Bronco_Beerslug]

This may be the first book on Bush I buy...

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly

Liberal commentators gripe so frequently about the current administration that it's become easy to tune them out, but when Bartlett, a former member of the Reagan White House, says George W. Bush has betrayed the conservative movement, his conservative credentials command attention. Bartlett's attack boils down to one key premise: Bush is a shallow opportunist who has cast aside the principles of the "Reagan Revolution" for short-term political gains that may wind up hurting the American economy as badly as, if not worse than, Nixon's did.

As part of a simple, point-by-point critique of Bush's "finger-in-the-wind" approach to economic leadership, Bartlett singles out the Medicare prescription drug bill of 2003— "the worst piece of legislation ever enacted"—as a particularly egregious example of the increases in government spending that will, he says, make tax hikes inevitable.

Bush has further weakened the Republican Party by failing to establish a successor who can run in the next election, Bartlett says. If the Reaganites want to restore the party's tradition of fiscal conservatism and small government, he worries, let alone keep the Democrats out of the White House, they will have their work cut out for them.

That's what I've been saying...to many scandals...to little time.

This organization is a conservative think tank HQ'd in Dallas. A business associate of mine used to work for them as a network engineer. The stuff he was privy to regarding scandal and corruption that he said never saw the light of day was mind boggling.

I don't need to read a freakin' book about this idiot, we all know and see it almost daily how he gives the American middle class the finger. I am almost ashamed to be an American because of all Bush has done foreign and domestically and yet he is not impeached. Overseas they laugh at us because of him. Try to impeach a PREZ for oral sex and let the worst PREZ in the history of the USA
totally lie, take us to war for no reason, totally destroy our
economy with his energy policies and the drain of this useless war, refuse to address illegal aliens HUGE drain on our economy, has not addressed an out of control health care system, let our own AMERICAN brothers suffer needlessly in hurricane Katrina. This man is incompetent, that alone should be enough to impeach, let alone everything else I mentioned. You voted for this lame POS, shame on you !

Actually they are scared shiitless of the guy, the thing they find unbelievable is he got elected to a second term. No ever thought so many Americans were that fuucking stupid with the disclosures after we attacked Iraq and all.

Wow! Gotta agree with most of what you said here. Just can't understand why/how folks voted for a guy that was a failed businessman. If he couldn't run a successful business, how could he successfully run a country? I know businesses fail everyday. But this guy had advantages most others don't have. Most notably access to money!

In his world money and power rules. If you don't have them, you're screwed! I'll be glad when his term is over. Maybe then we can get our goverment back.

I actually long for the days when Republicans, Democrats, and Independants actually argued over laws that were meaningful to everyone. Not just the wealthy and powerful.

Hopefully all Americans will now see the pitfalls of a one Party government and make the necessary changes.

I just wish the Dems had the guts and backbone to go after Bush's private business, uhem, endevors...

Done right, they could have gone for the jugular...

Bush, as far a business has gone, has been King Midas in reverse, everything he touches turns to RUST...

Exactly.

It still blows my mind that anyone could be familiar with Dim's bio and still vote for him.
