I am so glad that we don't see the BWS (Bush Worship Syndrome) too much anymore on FR.
The BWS religion used to be quite common and nauseous a few years ago.
I knew that Bush's brand of "compassionate conservatism" would be nothing but low-calorie liberalism mixed with cronyism from the get-go, but I wasn't prepared for just how bad he would be ("religion of peace" nonsense, energy bill, amnesty for illegals, Harriet Meyers, quagmire in Iraq, and TARP as the icing of the cake). Nor was I expecting so much blind devotion to his administration from conservatives who really ought to have known better.
What we're seeing now is retrospective reality setting in. Liberals are coming to realize that Bush wasn't so bad after all, and conservatives are starting to see him and his clan for what they really are all about.
