I don't think we should have to support the President. The Republicans gave us 8 years of Clinton bashing and it isn't over. They take potshots are Bill and Hillary whenever they can. Meanwhile, you have delegates at the convention handing out purple band-aids. The Republicans don't have a track record of giving support or respect to the other party but in the last 4 years how many times have we heard them say that we should?
Fuck that. I'll be critical of everything Bush does. I support looking into every detail and disecting every little decision he makes. Why don't we bring it up another notch and start poking fun at Laura Bush too like the conservatives did with Hillary? How about we go after the drunk ass Bush twins like they had with Chelsea (although it is true that they were soft on Chlesea for a while, it didn't last the whole time, if she had been caught with a fake ID Rush would have been all over her)? If they can dish it out when they are out of power, they should be prepared to take it back when they have the power.
I guarantee you that the mainstream Republican talking heads wouldn't be calling out that we should support John Kerry if he gets elected. They'll do the same bullshit they did to Clinton.
Democrats need to stop being pussies; sitting back while they smear us. Give it back 10 times over. See how they like it. This election and Presidential term has been a start, but it's nowhere near where it needs to be to fully oppose the right wing machine.
*Edit - I think it's great that many people here are ready to let bygones be bygones, but I'm just not there yet. Maybe by the next election I will be, but not now.
