<<The issue is the 24/7 perservation that anything Bush does must be bad, that he hasn't accomplished anything, that he's a failure in everything, never once providing any concession to anything he's done in office -----> which is bascially's Xo's so called insinuation of a sore loser>>
Then it's a fake issue - - most of the criticism of Bush is fairly specific.
Minus of course the grotesque distortions, hyperbole, and lying, that's precisely what I'm referring to. Picking specific issues, and drumbeating them 24/7, all the while completely ignoring those aspects that have been postive during his tenure
Why do these accusations have to be "sore losers?"
Because it fit's Xo's template on how the President, in this case Bush, was being burned in effigy, even before he took office, and since validated by the non-stop condemnations, minus any sense of objective assessment of the good things that have occured. No terror attacks since 911, record tax revenues initially generated by the tax cuts, low unemployment for the vast majority of his administration, Iraq's violence down at its lowest since we went in, Surge obviously having been successful, Conservative leaning administrations now in France, in Germany, in Canada even. I mean, I could go on, but suffice to say, Bush gets zip credit on any of it
You're claiming that Bush had nothing to do with any of it?
No, you're not paying attention. As usual. I'm saying he's been a either a part, or merely President during everything the last 8yrs,
both good and bad. And needless to say, I don't agree with your hyperbolic premises, so we can gloss right passed those
<<And you'll note, I haven't run from Bush, merely criticized him when it was appropriate to do so. You're referring to politicians that live & die by poll #'s, to which I care very little for in representing my interests>>
Yeah, but that wasn't my question. Why do Republican candidates who "live & die by poll #'s" (in your own words!) run from Bush like he's carrying Ebola virus, if he's so innocent of all the accusations?
Accusations & poll #'s frequently go hand in hand, in DC. I have yet to see much validity to either
