Your family members who live in Texas liked him as governor. Wow. That fucking changes everything.
Bush's policies of unilateral intervention will serve America as well as the isolationist policies of Harding, Coolege, and Hoover (not to mention Taft, et al) did.
I love the way the decisive leader stood behind his conviction that a commission to investigate 9/11 wasn't necessary.
I love the way the focused President stood up to his political oppenents and insisted that the recommendations of the panel (that he didn't want in the first place) would take a considerable amount of time to study before implementation.
I am particularly fond of the way this gutsy, decisive leader opposed the creation of Homeland Security as a cabinet level department.
