Sad that nobody remembers he ran a racist campaign against McCain in the 2000 primaries.
This guy stole his first Presidential election, started a $2 trillion war that created ISIS, ran against SSM for his second Presidential election, and then completely botched Katrina. Why does anyone take him seriously here?
I think it's just we begun to see the full effect of high-speed 24-hour news cycle and social media's affect on society's collective memory. Nothing ever happened before Thursday as far as much of the public is concerned.
Jesus, are we really in an age now where you can't say anything nice about someone you disagree with? You can agree with the contents of Bush's speech here and still think he was a terrible president. You don't need to start off every sentence you mention him in with "Even though he started an unnecessary war and presided over the start of the worst financial crisis in modern history, ..."
It's pretty annoying that in every thread where a Republican speaks out against Trump, there are a couple posts of people complaining that the person is still evil in some way. Saying you're happy they're starting to call out one of the most dangerous politicians in U.S. history doesn't mean you're going to vote for them all of a sudden, or donate to their campaigns, or write to your congressperson and ask them to name a goddamn library after them. This rigid standard where you can't speak about somebody without disavowing them is honestly just a super masturbatory way to virtue-signal. Get off your high horse for, like, ten minutes.
All you demonstrate is shallow presentism. In fifteen years I suspect you will speak positively of our current POTUS over whoever the Republican face of that moment will be.
in all fairness this is classic behaviour from partisans. I can guarantee you if HRC had won, right-wingers would be saying things like "IF ONLY OBAMA WAS STILL IN CHARGE UNLIKE FAR LEFT COMMIE CLINTON"
