Do we still believe the old bipartisan tradition that politics stops at the US shore in an overseas crisis?
Did Obama and the Democrats believe it when they campaigned against the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, against Gitmo, against interrogating terrorists, and still continue to bash Bush for the decisions he made during those wars? I don't believe in not criticizing people when they make bad decisions, period. And the Democrats believe in criticizing anybody at any time if they can spin it to their political advantage.
Not anymore. Politics used to stop at the shore, until over 50% of the population was bought off increasingly with government checks full of other people’s money. We are a nation of hustlers I fear, trading our vote for filling our wallet.
These bad financial times go hand in hand to seal in tyranny, by paying off treacherous voters.
