George W. Bush is trending on twitter

And a lot of conservatives are hating on him for his record, which is rightfully so, But It’s funny how republicans and conservatives hate and dog him now, as if they weren’t supporting all the bull crap he did back then. They are good at doing that. They latch on to popular historic figures like MLK Jr, JFK, and FDR just to name a few as if they had always supported them when they were alive, and even claim that they were really conservative ...and they repudiate people like Bush as if they weren’t supporting him back then

Dubya is so Neo-Con and we are now in Ultra Con phase as per Trump. Slash and burn, grab and go, pick the bones clean, grind them down and sell them on the market. Neo-Liberalism at its Fascist finest. The tiny percent are very pleased and their coffers are as fat as hogs ready for market...ah...maybe that wasn't the right metaphor right now?

The "terrorist" thing is passe and just magically vanished with the heat. After all, it was a war on a word and that's kind of like an invisible enemy, or an insubstantial one. We have so much FREEDUMBS out there that nobody is hating us for our freedom, they just laugh and look away and wonder if America needs a mental health checkup or a wake up call.

Dubya' was obviously a titular head. The proverbial fool on the Hill incarnate. He at least had some "brains" thinking FOR him. Right now we have a vexing, self-congratulating, orange straw man who imagines he has a brain and ignores everything else.

Once Trump loses, you aren’t going to find many people who say they supported him....and then a decade for now they will try to shape it as if he was some liberal who.

... Reagan got rid of the Conservative economics, because it didn't work! He gave us the Social Security Tax... he palled around with Gorby. He signed MLK as a holiday. He had real gay friends. Yet, he is still Sainted.

... so agree with MLK, JFK and FDR. I see FOX "News" show MLK when the do their station end/beg ID. Those folks were very much against MLK. When he was alive, Conservatives did not like him at all... they detested him.

This goes back at least to 1992, when they turned on him by saying he abandoned conservatives and Reagan with the tax raise. W Bush gained some trust from them after 9/11, but around 2005 they soured on him too. By 2015, Free Republic was at an all-out war to stop Jeb. The last name is now poison to conservatives.

From ‘99 - ‘08 they were in love with GWB, after the 2008 election is when they started to act like they never heard of him....you are right about Jeb and ‘15 though and I agree that name is now poison, but not because they hated his ideas...they know now that he is seen as a terrible president so they are trying to rewrite things as if they never supported....similar to how they will do Trump in about 5 years

Come the Fall of Trump, mark my words. Not one will have voted for him, ever.
