CPAC: Lots of Bush Bashing, No McCain Bashing
One of the interesting things at CPAC is the extensive Bush bashing. Newt Gingrich, this morning, attacked the "Bush-Obama" policies on bailouts and stimulus. John Bolton attacked Bush's policies on Iran and North Korea. Not surprisingly, Ron Paul took extensive shots at Bush. (He also fired at broadside at U.S. entry--in World War I.) I guess we shouldn't be shocked that conservatives are putting distance between themselves and the unpopular former president. What is surprising is that there are no shots at John McCain for his campaign or his moderate positions on climate change and immigration. It's all about Bush. I have a video coming up soon with Grover Norquist in which he offers some thoughts on the topic.

Where was this bashing the last eight years? Pretty damn convenient to wait until he's out of office before deciding he was a terrible President.
Leave it to Newt to try and make folks believe Bush was a Democrat all of these years. The "Bush-Obama policies" is going to be the next GOP talking point they look to try and drive though the MSM. Why isn't Newt bashing all of the rubberstamps in congress who give Bush exactly what he wanted?

It seems they are now following Obama's campaign tactics. Obama often referred to Bush-McCain policies. Do these guys have any original ideas? ...geesh, what a stupid question, of course not!
