      One thing I find fascinating about the intra-right debate is that more or less everyone now pretends they weren’t all obsessive, devoted, zealous fans of George W Bush, which by and large they were, at least until he became very unpopular.

      Huh? The opponents of the Iraq War didn't love Bush until the war became unpopular.

      You’re saying conservative opponents of the war? They were a tiny, rump sliver of the coalition.

      How large do you suppose the group debating between Sohrab and David are? I’d wager they could fit into a modestly sized Arby’s. We could name 90% of them.

      I mean it’s the nature of these kinds of debates, wherever they are on the ideological spectrum, to take place among a rather small set.

      But I’m both elite opinion and mass opinion among conservatives Bush was an extremely popular figure

      Bush's domestic agenda always had aspects that were controversial on the Right, but the reality of 2001-05 is that a lot of the criticism was muted because of the focus on war. The result was a lot of suppressed frustrations that came roaring back later.

      Exactly. High approval within party? Sure. "Obsessive, zealous fans"? Cmon. By that standard, Chris, couldn't you say that about most presidents?

      I think you guys are memory-holeing a whole lot of rhetoric about the guy, who, above all else, triggered the libs and was fighting a war for civilization’s survival and was thus great.

      As a team player for 7+ years, defending the admin often against folks on the right, and on his reelect, I wish this were the case, but it was not. See: Medicare Part D, EISA, NCLB, etc. Clinton maintained much higher/steadier partisan numbers.

      One of the reasons RedState was founded in 2004 and found an audience was a sense that small-government grassroots conservatism lacked a voice to push back against Part D, NCLB, etc. I first got promoted to the RS frontpage fighting against Harriet Miers.
