sounds like pdq should go into politics himself. someone pose a question you can't/don't wish to answer? here's what to do...

1)"Kendall's question is more slander than question"//attack and delegitimize the question and questioner

2)" therefore, does not deserve a straight answer"//continue to attack the question

3)"It will not get one from me, so give up and stop asking."//challenge and admonish the questioner

4)"I also never claimed to have answered it."//deny actual printed words and obfuscate. this exchange began with posts on the thread entitled "what's worse than bush in 2004" and if you reread posts all from 11/3 at 8:17AM, 10:54AM, 1:31PM, and 1:50PM you;ll see that the question was asked,pdq again challenges kendall's veracity, claims to have answered his direct question (quoting from the post"i was trying to be polite and answer a direct question"). Now oppose previous statements in a bald-faced manner.

5)"If *your* question is "what is an admirable quality of George W. Bush"//make up your own question to answer with pre-digested talking point generalized campaign language like"he has attempted to be inclusive and has tried to bring people together."

6)"But, as someone said long ago, "it takes two to tango".//continue to refer to and denigrate opposition even when the question specifically asked for responses that were not relative to the opposition parties or people

so back to the original query "what should we admire about george bush?". i have removed partisan opinion from the question as stated in the original post and distilled it to its essence. well, waddaya t'ink?
