Let Dubya Speak!

Oh, you fickle, hard-hearted Republicans!  How quickly you cast aside the charismatic wartime commander and two-term president who, one sunny September day in 2001, after an unprecedented catastrophe on our Homeland, set the US and world record for American presidential popularity.

Sure, his popularity may have declined slightly after that day in September 2001, when it soared from 51% to 90%, and you can track the graph here, but what happened to your famous loyalty?   Republicans are known for sticking together through thick and thin.  Look at your 100% opposition to the Democratic president during these last four years.

I say, Let Dubya Speak.  Or, if not Dubya, at least let Dick Cheney have his say, I say.  OK, maybe not Cheney, who left office at a 13% approval rating, after mixed approval for his  visionary patriotic stance during his two terms.  Come to think of it, Bush left at 22%.  But it still doesn’t excuse you for excluding him from your convention, in my book.  Many of the people who opposed him were Independents, Democrats, Undecideds and worse.

Let Dubya Speak!
