President Bush, urging the Republican Party to become more “open-minded,” said the GOP is down but not out after getting “whipped” in 2008.
Bush, in a wide-ranging interview on “Fox News Sunday,” argued that the party would recover, just as it had following other setbacks. However, he cautioned Republicans that they must become more open-minded.
“It’s very important for our party not to narrow its focus, not to become so inward looking that we drive people away from a philosophy that is compassionate and decent,” Bush said, adding, “We shouldn’t have litmus tests as to whether or not you can be a Republican.”
How nostalgic. Remember when he was a compassionate conservative? Neither do I.
"We’ve got to be a party for a better future and for hope.”
Did some washed-up excuse for a president just steal a line from a far superior, future president? Why yes. Yes he did:
When asked what he would do after leaving office, the president said he wants to write a book, possibly on the toughest decisions he had to make while in the White House.
May I make a suggestion? Learn how to read first. Moving on...
Bush stressed that his own presidency was defined by the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Criticized often for extending his presidential powers to execute the war on terrorism, Bush said that the constitution remained intact.
He is referring, of course, to that one little remnant of aging parchment that he saved and framed for posterity. The rest of the document was shredded by BushCo years ago.*
He also defended the often criticized interrogation techniques used to get information from military detainees and terrorism suspects, which have been described by critics as torture.
“I firmly reject the word torture,” said Bush. “Everything this administration did had a legal basis.”
