Meh. I don't feel sorry for them. But it's also the reason we went to war. Questioning bush or the war was unpatriotic. Questioning the false information leading to the war was unpatriotic. Our weak politicians from either side would never risk being unpatriotic. Suspending our basic rights was unpatriotic.

And many in here were lock step with bush on these very things. I went from being a life long Reagan republican to a democrat in here because I questioned bush and his tactics. To do so made you a library etc. Many of the folks in here were the sheeple the accuse others of being. They know who they are.

Library apparently is a substitute for libtard in autocorrect.

Honestly I had never heard so much trash being talked about a President until Bush.. and the sad part was that half the people talking trash (from my own inquiries) had no idea why.. several I talked to were recent college grads that just had it pounded into their heads the Bush Sucked and they believed it.. It was Cool to hate Bush... Obama has given us plenty of reasons to hate him... 😟

I voted for bush. I regret that vote. To speak ill of bush drew venom.

Bush did have the Supreme Court decision that hampered him with unfair criticism from the start, but 911 changed things. It became impossible to criticize him without being unamerican.

Obama had the ****bird birthers crowd since before he was elected. And they were openly embraced by otherwise decent people. Obama has not done more or less to deserve it than Bush.

The clintons always took a ton of garbage too, as did Reagan etc. it's probably nothing new. It's just that normal people used to more easily discount the crazies. False information moves quicker now days and nonsense is accepted as fact by many.

At least that's what I heard in an email I recieved.

Remember all the crap nancy Reagan took for spending money for fine china, dresses etc. not to mention seeing psychics?

Reagan took it for being absent minded, bongo etc.

Clinton had the hit list, whitewater and a BJ.

Bush sr was always a wimp which I never understood because he was ex cia.

Ford was a clumsy oaf.

Even those running that lost got it

McCain had a black love child
Swift boating was absurd
Wasn't McGovern or someone supposedly crazy (electroshock or sumpthin)

Dirty politics has been around forever. Decent folks used to be appalled by it. Niw they willingly participate either out of ignorance (always true) or desire to win.

Openly question the actions of our government is a true act of patriotism. If you care, you question and push for your view of what is right.
Saying we should not question our government is un-American.

What a load of crap.

Nobody was chastised for questioning anyone.
Saying things like "Bush went to war so his oil buddies could prosper" is not questioning, it's accusing.
Just like today, it is the hate-filled "that candidate can do no right" syndrome.

Bush could have cured cancer, and the lefties would cry because someone made a profit.

Likewise, Obama could raise wallstreet to new heights (!) and he'd never get the credit.


To sit there and use the 20/20 of hindsight is a feeble attempt to prop yourself up.
Sometimes it's not being a sheeple, so much as simple partisan politics as usual.

And for every disgruntled Reagan Conservative, I'll serve up TWO confused Kennedy Democrats. So stop patting yourself on the back.

You’re splitting hairs TG. In politics questions someone’s actions by an accusation is par for the course.

No one says “I wonder if Obamacare is good for the nation” they say “Obama is destroying the economy with Obamacare”.

It is how it is done....
