GOP anger is all about them

In my mind the real reason for the sudden outraged has to do with Guantanamo bay and the prisoners there and less to do with Bergdahl.

Obama "gave away" five prisoners. We have let people out of Gitmo before but the people left are supposed to be the worst of the worst and yet Obama let them go.

For many GOP backers Gitmo is one of the crowning achievement of the Bush administration. In their mind it represents the evidence Bush went in there and caught "them" and we've been making them pay ever since. We tortured them, locked them up without any trials, and have fought to make sure no trial or ending of their imprisonment is possible. The fact that Gitmo is in reality more like those FEMA camps they worry about never seems to bother GOP backers.

Obama's move reminds them that much like the pointless Bush wars that Gitmo to is going to end. If Obama is willing to give these men away won't he be willing to give away more and more of the prisoners. If the men Bush captured weren't the crown jewels of terrorism then who were they? More to the point what IS the Bush legacy; a crippled economy, two failed wars, crippling debt, and human right violations. They can't accept that their dream administration, the key core of the GOP ideals, adds up to nothing or worse something we'd just trade away. So they are mad, but their anger won't make the Bush years appear any better. Most Americans want to be free from the Bush era depression too.
