While I agree that Clinton is not the President,and therefore not relevant to the current discussions,will the left make the promise that the second the next President is sworn in,they will NEVER mention Bush's name?
They cannot use him for comparison to the next President,they cannot blame him for ANYTHING that happens once the next President is sworn in,and that anything that happens once the next President is sworn in has nothing to do with anything Bush did or did not do?
No you can't, and do you know why? and straight from George Bush's own mouth were the remarks that the Iraq situation and troop deployment there would go on long after he left office. so accordingly whoever takes over in 2009 will have that skunkery to deal with as an unwelcome present from your Fearless Leader. Just like that idiot's father did with the US marine peacekeeping forces in Somolia. the only difference is that Clinton didn't blame George HW Bush for what happened in the Mog and admitted that they were his own problems unlike what Bush (the lesser) tried to do with 911 and blame Clinton.
how about the budget deficit? Clinton left a surlus budget, recall Bush said he wantd to cut taxes, precisely because we had a budge surplus, guess what the 2009 president gets? another stink bomb.
those who are aware of history recognize that the treasury dept of George HW Bush was not telling the truth about the fiscal deficit in the fall of 1992, and when clinton took office the government's money his team thought was there, wasn't. the Bush(I) treasury dept was off the mark on the deficit by 60-90$ Billion, and it was the reason Clinton abandoned his liberal campaign agenda from 1992, disaffecting liberals in congress and across the county and helped precipate the GOP take-over of the US House in 1994.
your logic is faulty and ignores both past and present facts, but that's apt for supporters of the GOP, where a faith based perspective of reality reigns.
But I do understand your truculence, you don't want to believe you were snookered by Bush and the GOP, and it would hurt all the more because you have defended what actully is indefensible, and in reflection you would think upon how stupid you were to believe in what you did, so you appear to dig in your heels and hold ever stronger. but you are wrong.
those of us in the reality based community, those of us who were on the right side of history when we were in the minority still will welcome you with open arms to what has now with the fullness of time become the majority once you admit that on your trip to Damascus, you fell off the GOP elephant and saw the light of the truth. we won't rub it in, because we will be so happy to see someone no longer blind.
confess your sins brother, come into the bright light of the truth. it shall set you free.
hallelujah!
