to pointing ot his faults, criticizing his plans, etc. If you want to disparage his parentage back 7 generations, that's OK, too. what bothers me is that some people, at least this is the impression that I get, actually expect that if they call for his resignation, eventually, he'll just sigh, and say, Oh, well, if that's what the people want, I'll just resign, and turn myself in to the ICC."
Cripes, whatever we think, Bush thinks that he is RIGHT. Not only that, so do a lot of other people. So, I just hate to see progressives making themselves look foolish and childish. We need all the advantages we can get.
For instance,we have candidates calling for Bush not to campaign on the Gulf War. they get frantic that Bush is questioning their patriotism. Well, that is his one strong point. Despite all our efforts, it has held up well for him with he electorate. and,why should he give up any advantage that he has. After all, as we know here, they want to win. It's ridiculous to expect him to tie one hand behind his back. Especially as we keep pounding him on the war, as we should.
But when you take a swing at a man, then it is a little late to tell him not to get mad, even if he is big enough to crush you.
In short, I do not think it is a mature, considered strategy to criticize him on this point and not expect him to respond. The fact that we, and our leaders, can think of nothing better disturbs me greatly. I am not saying to stop criticizing him, I only think we should anticipate hs responses and have a suitable response.
