george w. bush got taken off the trajectory of being the kind of republican he was before he was president. he got pulled into this neoconservative wing of the party that made him a disappointment to the third part of the party, evangelicals. he delivered a not and never delivered a ban on abortion. he was pushed away. the one way he was embraced, the idea the media and culture disrespected bush is a lot of the reason the right dislikes obama. conservatives on twitter. i understand if i were a conservative and i watched my opening, i would not like it either. i understand. what s interesting is that there is a degree to which he has been distanced from a conservative movement. if you attack george w. bush, conservatives get incredibly upset. congresswoman, i want to ask you a subsequent question and dillon, i want to ask you about this legacy question. one of the things president obama said i thought was interesting, he gave problems to george bush for trying to get comprehensive imm
but he doesn t say when, right. i think that the 2070. the game might be for a while to postpone it and, you know, tell the base and the conservative caucus we re going to get there, but we first have to deal with all these other things. boehner s here s where they ll have skirmishes. knowing that obama s re-elected all the regulators are obama appointees for writing the rule to implement the law that fully kicks in 2014. when and i think what boehner had to do was a little big walk back between the tweet and the interview. i think saying that the law of the land and then saying #fullrepeal is i mean like the palestinians saying we re still we still hate the fact that we don t have israel and some day we ll rurnl eturn jerusalem but this is the deal. expect the president and the white house to talk about the great things about the affordable act. of course. we ll move into it in some point in the next months and years into a legacy question and the pre

they have no such capability. it was clearly done by the assad regime. i believe intelligence corroborates that. the intelligence is fairly convinces. what is the remedy? people of good conscience on both sides of the aisle are wrestling with that. some prefer to do nothing. my concern is the legacy of that is very dangerous. can i give a counterexample? senator john kerry invoked the legacy question. it was a big part of the argument. saddam hussein used chemical weapons in two different uses. both against the kurds to put down a domestic insurgency against the kurds and also in his war with iran. now, he was never punished with that in the way we re talking about punishing assad. yet no other leader used these kind of weapons until assad did which would suggest to me that it s possible that it s really only extreme circumstances that led to the use rather than this punitively established
