My point is simply that it does not make sense that, as the news of the record of the Bush presidency becomes even more abysmal, the reaction by the people continuing to support Bush.....creating a third Bush term, via the candidacy of John McCain, aka John McBush, is obviously a non-repentant response.
I sincerely wonder, "what are the people who are doing this, thinking"? I want to read one of two things in posts on this thread.... a defense of the Bush record and thus, a justification for supporting a follow through presidency of John McCain, or responses similar to the ones posted after the Duelfer report on WMD...
Things, like..."wow, I was sure the WMD were there, I guess I'll have to rethink my position, in light of this report's findings...", or.... "I suspect that the WMD were secretly transported to, and are still hidden in Syria"....
But....what we're seeing posted is...nothing...no attempt to explain how continued support for Bush works, no attempt to explain support for what John McCain claims he will do as president...yet some polls show him leading the race.
It does not follow that there will be more civil discourse here or anywhere else, not with more than 4000 dead US troops, a $4 trillion debt "run up", and a precipitous decline in the US economy and currency valuation, when the "Vacation President's" "time off" stats are juxtaposed with what I've just described.
Why the sudden effort here to create a contrary, an artificial atmosphere? Where is there an example of that, in any other instance on this forum?
