President Bush may have been divisive in regards to international relations, but he was far from divisive in regards to domestic politics. He worked with Democratic senators on some major pieces of legislation. He worked with Sen. Kennedy (D-MA) on the NCLBA of 2001. He also worked with prominent Democrats on the CIRA of 2007. I am not saying President Bush was a "uniter," but he was not as much of a divider as he is sometimes portrayed as. |
Are you kidding me? Congress and everyone else on Capitol Hill has characterized the Bush administration as the most difficult administration to work with in modern history...even Republicans. They say that they are way too focused on power struggles and turn everything into a loyalty or political battle.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
