I was adding and editing while you posted this. Not backloading. Let me have a puff or two and I'll think of something to go here.
I've actually been thinking of starting an "opposites" thread if you're interested. Where all must enter only to argue for your opponent.

Do you think Bush-bashing cuts to the heart of the issue, or does it mask the real issues?
Originally posted by Majic
What I am looking for now is someone to weigh in with the compelling argument against Bush-bashing, because frankly, the argument for Bush-bashing is looking pretty strong right about now.
So for the plucky reader out there, where is RANT mistaken?

It's not just that Bush is a smirking chimp, but I'm a lunatic anti-American socialist, right? And here we are.

Majic, those debates were horrible. Disasterous. I don't see how anyone couldn't cringe at Bush's performance. But half the country didn't. They defended his ineptitude and actually preferred it to overly skilled oration. Now seen as a detriment.

I hate the way he took the country of Iraq base on lies, he as a leader should have done better to find the truth, and now the Iraqi people not only suffer under Saddam they are suffering under the invasion.
Supporters don't say things like he's smart or conciliatory or the best President ever. They say things like I hate liberals. That's why Bush even has support. People hate the people that hate him. It's all dinner theater. He is that stupid in my opinion, but he works at it too.

So, IMO, part of the issue is that the majority of Bush bashers are just young. Not their fault. It's just that they are impressionable and love to hear someone make potty mouth remarks about the president. Titillating to their little libidos, and so easy to indulge in, on that nice new computer that mommy and daddy gave them to "do their homework" on.
