The disgraceful treatment of George W. Bush began in the wee hours of November 8, 2000 when Gore decided not to concede.

The lies began during the election recount. Claims of people not being allowed to vote (disenfranchisement), Dem election officials doing everything they could to turn the election Gore's way (hanging chads, disqualifying military votes), a Dem Florida Supreme court helping them.

When finally it was settled, the propaganda machine began - "The U.S. Supreme Court selected the President."

And except for about 1 week after 9/11, it has been non-stop. Not one thing the man did or did not do escaped the wrath of the left, Democrats, MSM, university elite professors, Hollywood. It almost became a joke - every misfortune that befell Americans was Bush's fault.

It did not start with the Iraq war. Like I said, it began on November 8, 2000.

Right you are. Who said this?

“Today I want to speak to every person who voted for my opponent: To make this nation stronger and better I will need your support, and I will work to earn it. I will do all I can do to deserve your trust. A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation. We have one country, one Constitution and one future that binds us. And when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of America.”

It was George W. Bush, November 3, 2004, after being elected to his second term. How short are the memories of the virulent Bush-haters on the left, who never gave him a chance. He reached across the aisle so many times, and they bit his hand. He compromised a great deal - to the detriment of his popularity - and they did not soften one iota toward him. He got called Hitler and Nazi for his troubles.

He has been wrong on much - mostly spending and big government - but he has been right on terrorism and has kept us from being attacked, not just here but pretty much worldwide, for 7 years. No gratitude from the self-righteous “progressives” and from many of our own party. I hope that history makes the right call - but with leftists writing most of the books used in schools, don’t count on it.

You are so right on! I was arguing this point last week with a liberal coworker and I got pretty heated in my defense of Bush. This coworker is a black minister nonetheless and claims that Bush shows all the signs of a drug addict who has lost too many brain cells to be able to make basic decisions. My outward disgust may actually cost me my job unfortunately because our President is an Obamaniac as are about 90% of the staff of our social services agency.
