Icon Not a bad post Eric

So I can honestly say I do not hate Bush. But I can also honestly say I completely hate many of his policies and have contempt and no respect for the man. Still, with that, I bet he is one of those types that when you meet him, you instantly like him.
I dont think he is a charismatic as say Clinton but he would be a likeable guy

As for what he has "earned", it is very little. The man has walked the walk of a privledged life.
The same argument could be made of Kerry so.......

 He has not had to sacrifice anything in his entire life and if you doubt this ask yourself, "if GWB really cared about normal people would he have made those awful jokes about not finding WMDs while our soliders are dying?" And if you doubt this happened, it is caught on tape.
Seen it and even at the the roast I still thought it a bad choice of
words.

Nor would he have made that idiotic "Mission Accomplished" flight.

Sadly, and this is not about bitterness or being a sore loser after Kerry lost, but the reason Bush is president again is because he and his people sold their pack of bullshit lies to the American people much better than Kerry could. The worst part of the equation is that so many Americans bought it all.  
Eric do you think all that bought on to the war is a pack of idiots? That is the sentiment I get from you and Ian and I hate to say it Reg. You think maybe these people can peer into the future and maybe see something you don't see? I was beginning to think James was emotionally dead but it seems some recent posts have brought him to life. We've bickered about all this before bringing out the name calling and such and where does it get us? There must be some common ground. We as a nation need to find it.
