It is such a common occurrence... The Left raise the issue now because it is their man in the WH, yet for the last 8 years, it has been the Left wishing failure on Bush... Even today they are so wed to that principle they can not admit Bush's victory in Iraq...
So shout loudly now our friendly Left and pretend this behavior is not endemic amongst your side... Here is one Leftie I respect... Why??? His policies??? no... It is his honesty, and with that we can honest and needed debate... Without it, civility is possible, but meaningful debate is not... The fact is honest deep rooted debate occurs should not be demonized but glorified... That the Left feels the need to demonize it is that the focus still is not on honest debate but one sound-bytes... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lee-stranahan/why-limbaugh-is-right-to_b_170815.html >>> "I wanted the Bush policy on Iraq to fail because the war and the ideas it >>> was based were in complete opposition to my basic principles about how The >>> United States should use its wealth and power. However, I was hoping that a >>> magic genie would be found in Baghad that would create a situation where >>> Bush's policies didn't work but with no loss of life, damage to property, >>> expense or harm to our nation's reputation." The problem is - I'm not Bobby Jindal so I don't believe in magic. So I repeat - damn right I wanted the Iraq war to fail. Not because I hate our country or hate the troops but for the exact opposite reason - because I love my country and I value the lives of the people sworn to protect it. If you opposed the war, I bet you feel the same way. Now, fasten your seatbelt while I go a step further. I believe that Limbaugh wants the President to fail because he loves the country, too. [snip] >>> We're complicated. Deal with it. The thing we can do to get along better >>> isn't to expect to agree on things. Forget that. But we can agree to >>> disagree without the pointless added bullshit playacting of pretending >>> disagreement is treason. The healthy conflict of views on our homeland is >>> as American as Christian TV preachers involved in gay sex scandals. It's a war of ideas. Bring it on, Rush,.
