2. Dubya and the GOP Got So A Free Pass His First Term, It Was Pathetic

Sadly, they are still getting a free pass now. If a Democratic engaged in some of the hateful rhetoric coming out of "mainstream" Republicans, their career would be over. Eric Cantor texting while the President is speaking, then appearing at a Freedom Works astroturf rally? Amazing.

3. exactly.

I can only imagine what would have happened if that was under a Democratic president (Sept 11). I can't believe the Republican party always goes on about September 11th as if it is a positive for the Republican party...sick fucks.

4. I thought about that all day long yesterday - Cheney must have been having a stiff drink....

With all his rantings about National security, it is Obama who kept us safer longer... you just cannot pretend 9/11 did not happen on Bushco's watch, 234 days into it...

5. And pulled it out of the economic toilet in the process.......

.... Bush, no doubt, had fun rolling around in that budget surplus that Clinton left him.

7. I was watching some 9/11 special on the History Channel yesterday and two guys

who worked in security for the WTC and for Morgan Stanley in the WTC were more prepared for this then Bush was. They predicted another attack was coming and could be from the air. Bush and co were either pathetic or they looked away on purpose.
