That's what the Dims are doing these days. They so want to say "There is no terrorist threat!" but they can't. And you know the Chomskyites among them want to say "We should be losing more civilians because it's really not fair that since 9-11 George Bush hasn't let anymore of them die."
Many of us are disappointed with certain aspects of the Bush presidency, but some day I believe it will be looked back on the way the Reagan presidency is. Remember, after he left office, we heard plenty of instant rewriting of history by the libs. When Reagan died, though, I was surprised how many of them suddenly gave up and said, "You know, he was a great President." Even on DU they were saying "At least he was a great American, unlike The Chimp!!!"
Once the political battles are forgotten, people will have no choice but to look back on the post-9-11 era and realize that Bush did SOMEthing right to prevent further attacks. The rational people, at least.
"It's like a newspaper having a breaking story revealing that your mailman actually WALKS right up to your private property--your mail box--and has the audacity to OPEN IT! in plain sight of others, and....put DOCUMENTS into it! Is this what the Founding Fathers intended?!?!?!?!?! "
heheheh, good comparison.
That is a great analogy.
As well, there were many Republicans that stabbed Reagan in the back. Many that sought to distance from him. Now they can't stop invoking his name in campaigns. Some things never change.
It may take longer for G.W.B. to receive his due, mainly because he's younger and theoretically has many more years to live. I don't see him being recognized for the good he did until he passes unfortunately. It will happen eventually. Explaining the Democrats desperation as they saw their inability to prevent Reagan's legacy in end, they are rapidly approaching the day they can't prevent G.W.B.'s.
