Oh Rocky...if you don't think that the hatred that the right feels toward Clinton or Hillary for that matter is similar to the feelings many on the left feel toward Bush, well, you are up in the night. I have never seen a person such as Hillary get so many mean spirited and outright hatred that she gets. If she runs for President, it could quickly become the ugliest smear campaign ever in american politics.

I do agree with Archaea though in the fact that the political system is a mess. There is rarely civil discussion between the two sides. What we get is Rush, Sean Hannity, Franken and others that spend their entire lives ripping on the other party. Instead of civil discussion, we get hate speech and what is wrong with the other side. It truly is tiresome.

Where the hell have you been the last 6 years?

This I agree on. Bush isn't exactly the lightest bulb in the room and seemingly puts himself on the golf tee to get knocked over time and again.

Granted I'm not a huge Bush fan by any means, but I don't hate him as most people do.
