Remember when President Bush ...

[Prophet 451]

1. They claim we did

Republicans have become so used to rewriting history that they actually believe their own lies now.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. In what universe did THAT happen?

Oh yeah, theirs.......

I do remember them trying to compare the filibustering of judicial nominees but from what I recall, it was a pale, ghostly white compared to their filabstruction since PBO came into office.

[Prophet 451]

8. They honestly believe we were just as bad to Bush

Really, they believe their own lies.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

9. and the MSM doesn't help with their "both sides do it"-style coverage

They can point out examples of stuff Republicans do and stuff Democrats do and claim that it's equal, comparable, etc. It's extremely irritating.

[Prophet 451]

10. Entirely agreed n/t

[Jack for Sanders]

2. So the question is, why didn't they?

Who's fault is that?

[lillypaddle]

3. Because they believed more

in working for the American people than they did in fighting a president, even one who was not democratically elected.

4. Because stopping all government function is exactly what the GOP wants.

Democrats actually want to govern, Republicans do not.

The GOP's call for a smaller government is a call to stop all government function, outside defense.

If the Democrats obstructed everything, the government comes to a stand still and that's what the GOP wants. They want to kill government functions and loot the taxes.

When out of power, Dems still try to work with the GOP to keep the government functioning.

5. The world would have been better off if they had done so n/t

6. I remember some asshole stealing the election, twice!

[lastlib]

11. Now, now, calling Bush an asshole......

...only insults the anuses of all humanity. Most shit-chutes would make a far better President than GWBush.

[Damansarajaya]

12. Problem was, that's exactly what they should've done.

Given that the man LOST the 2000 election, Democrats had no obligation to work with Old Pretender.

13. I remember when he burned the convoy of cars & trucks to a crisp,as they left the town they occupied

I remember Bush 'shock & awe' on TV news with all their grins, as ancient buildings blew-up, but don't worry the oil fields were guarded. I remember Bush on the warship gloating victory. I remember no journalists allowed so bush gang could control what was seen. I remember the pallets of American CASH, a billion us dollars passed out and lost. I remember no pictures of the coffins returning allowed.
