So let me get this straight, you think we're being too hard on Bush. How badly does he have to fuck up the US in order for us to put him under a microscope and take a look at his agenda? He's flushed our economy down the toilet with this unjustified war, and he's made America look like fools internationally.
And then let's address the issue of "painting someone as a saint". I think this applies more to the religious right than to anyone on the left, since you paint ANYONE who slaps a fish on their bumper as a saint. No joke. Just look at all of the churches, religious leaders and right wing extremists screaming "God Bless America, God Bless George W". Or how about "Vote for Morality". Since when is waging war on an innocent country the "moral" thing to do? Don't talk about painting someone as a saint until you realize that the right wing is more guilty of it than anyone.

The thing that makes me leary of some people, all they care about is political agenda. All they care about is getting Bush out of office, and pitch a fit even if he farts the wrong way. Then once Kerry gets in, they will paint him as a saint and look the other way no matter what he does. That kinda thinking scares me.
I look at things from a more rational middle of the road view. I think most people really cant understand the underlying issues of the western world vs the extremist arab world. But just want to bitch for political reasons and not really care about the issues.
