I'm not sure what "support the President" means. I agree that to "take all opportunities to express dissapointment over one's personal and often unrealistic expectations" is not effective, useful, proffesional or mature.
But where is the line? I talked with someone yesterday who clearly feels not voting for Bush is 'not surpporting the President in times of war'. That is too far for me. Listening to the convention, there were many who agreed with that person.
I'm not in favor of piling on, and making fun of Bush at every opportunity, but where do you draw the line? Drawing it at NEVER critiqueing, lauging, questioning, criticising or condemning actions (no matter how egregious) doesn't work for me.
This bears a resemblance to "supporting our troops". In the early days of the war, I was told (in RL, and on this board) I was unpatriotic - and unsupportive of our troops - for being against the war. What a slap in the face.
Same question applies: What does "support" mean?
