When did FR become so radically conservative that we would condone being so harsh about former President Bush?
Holy smokes.
I think this is getting ridiculous.

Used to be there was some respect for people.

It’s really rather sad.

Bush had his good points and his bad points. His support of these AIDS programs did a lot more harm than good. See my previous post. It was not one of his good points.

Bush was a Big Government borrow-and-spend "compassionate conservative" RINO tool who paved the way for Obama.

As far as I know it's never been off limits to speak the truth about a big government RINO. You don't get pass for liberal polices cause you have an "R" next to your name.
