If you throw out Watergate Nixon was one of the greatest presidents of all time given his foreign relations, getting our troops out of Vietnam, and some good domestic policies as well. Won re-election by a landslide,
Ronald Reagan ended the cold war and his (not Bush) Trickle down economics actually worked creating the boom of the 1980s. Won re-election by a landslide.
Then come the Bushes
George H. Bush good with foreign relations but struggled with domestic issues. Still an okay president but wasn’t good enough to be re-elected.
Then comes Dubya. Only created 3 million jobs in his eight years. Lied about the Iraq war. Protected political oil interest causing high oil and gas prices. Lack of deregulation causing the Housing Mess. Was never elected in 2000 and if not for a squeaking out Ohio in 2004 would not have been re-elected. If it wasn’t for his good National Security policies he probably be the worst president in American history. Only had a 25% approval rating.
Because of George W. Bush the republican party has been destroyed. The Republican party was strong and credible during the Ronald Reagan presidency as Reagan was one of the greatest presidents of all time.
To all Republicans. Thank the Bush Family for destroying your political party
Obama will re-invigorate the Republican party – trust me.

The Republican party now stands for a New World Order.
Republicans aren’t conservative anymore. They have liberal foreign policy and they pander to religious extremists and big businesses.
The Bush family is part of a group called the New World Order that controls the world. They control everything and they are seeking to control even more. And they will get their control. More security cameras, Patriot Acts, national ID cards, more police and troops being stationed within the U.S. ….. "security" is not freedom. That’s what Thomas Jefferson said.

I seem to recall the Democratic Party was considered to be "dead" from 1980 – 1992, however you were probably too young to remember that/weren’t born yet.

"If you throw out Watergate Nixon was one of the greatest presidents of all time given his foreign relations, getting our troops out of Vietnam, and some good domestic policies as well. Won re-election by a landslide"
Sorry but I have to take issue with this bit of revisionist history. That’s like saying that if you take out world war 2 the Nazis were great. Nixon was a crook and a liar and the reason he won reelection was because he burglarized the offices of the Democratic campign headquarters!

Um, it wasn’t George H. Bush, it was George H. W. Bush…just thought I should correct you there.
There were plenty of other Republicans back in the day that were a lot worse than Georgie. We’ve had a lot of stinkers and managed to come back better than ever.
If your party is so great, how come you don’t get a guy in the White House that often?

No, you can’t use the Bushes as a scapegoat for everything that’s wrong with the Republican party.
