For Bush Hater's Everywhere

This is your chance and then can we put it to bed. I am no apologist for the present President. In fact, I have a lot of problems with some ot the things he did, but I don't have a visceral hatred of the man. Almost every thread someone throws in some kind of statement regarding the President which has little, if anything, to do with the subject being discussed.

I'd also like to point out that not being an Obama supporter doesn't make one a Bush lover. Conversely, agreeing with Bush on one subject doesn't imply, or require, that I support him in another. I would further point out that there were, and are, other positions of power in Washington. In fact, I wonder why it is that the Congress continuously hides behind the President whenever any type of crisis comes along. It is the Congress who is supposed to legislate. Believe it or not, it is the Congress who is supposed to set policy. Bush could not, and did not, do what he did alone. The Patriot Act was passed by Congress. I am not here to defend Bush, but the fact that my tomatoes didn't come in as well this year is not his fault.

Similarly, all Conservatives are not Republicans and vice versa. Make your point, preferably using logic, and skip the name calling. When I comment please read it in the context I write it in. I may feel that the Liberals of today are destroying the country, but I generally attempt to discuss the issue and the basic premise under discussion. If you can defend your ideas and your principles I would love to listen, but I always get the image of a 13 year old when I read the same old Bush name calling comments. Are you doing it because you want to be part of a group? Do you want approval from your elders? Do you think it makes you look smart? Do you just want a reaction? Really, if you're just going to call names, don't waste my time. Thanks.
