Bush Supporters' Aftermath Thread IV

Hey, don't ya know, McTag, the Bush supporters have not deserted him they just got tired of defending him against so many unfair and baseless accusations. Never has there been a president so maligned without just cause.

You're kidding right?

Were you alive from 1997-2000?

And there's McT to stir the ****. He can always be counted on ... for that anyway.

All the right-wingers seem to have melted away, which is a shame really.
You'd have thought after all that posturing and tub-thumping which has been going on here for years, they might at least have said goodbye, and maybe "You were right, we were wrong, GWB may be associated with the Republican movement, which we support, but he and his policies have proved an unmitigated disaster for our country and for the world."

Would a little acknowledgement hurt?

I think you are beating a dead horse McTag. From the start this thread has been dominated (oddly) by the anti Bush crowd whose rhetoric has been just as, or more, strident, close-minded and intemperate than that of which you accuse the Bush minority here. I wonder, where would you all be without your hate figures?

Certainly the Bush policy and its execution has its evident defects and failures. However, the central thread of the criticism has been flawed in offering no alternative resolution of the all-too-obvious underlying issues before us. The great danger, in my view, is that we may learn the wrong lessons from the turn of events. Many who criticize and claim the pretence of righteousness have nothing to offer but criticism and a certain point of view. In a world of limited choices, theirs is very often the lesser alternative. I believe that is the case here.

George : Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable, I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but ... I was perceptive. I always know when someone's uncomfortable at a party. It became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I've ever made, in my entire life, has been wrong. My life is the opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every of life, be it something to wear, something to eat ... It's all been wrong.

So the problem is that we lefities don't offer an alternative to the Bush failed administration. OK. I say we take the opposite approach like on Seinfeld.

Your brains?

So,that means raising taxes,not responding to attacks on the US or on American citizens,closing the border and enforcing ALL of the current immigration laws,allowing North Korea and Iran to develop working nukes,etc.


Is there anything I am forgetting?

(I have no opinion on the immigration issue but sort of lean towards thinking laws are there to be kept. But I don't agree with all the nasty rhetoric towards immigrants which has been spewed forth by those on far right of this issue.)

What are your thoughts about the nasty rhetoric towards immigrants that has been spewed by those on the far left on this issue?
