Day 249

Is this the third Bush term?

I see this knee-jerk reaction a lot from Democrats who are disgruntled with Jackass. They complain about the Democratic party and their legislation. Some claim that both parties are corrupt and all the bums should go. Then I see phrases like the third Bush term.

Well, this is the third Clinton term to me. The ignorance of terror, the secret health care meetings, the tax the rich solution to everything all bring to mind Bubba. But he’s not the president. Neither is Bush. Get over it.

Bush derangement led to the lukewarm McCain reception. Bitter partisanism made hollow messages about post-partisanship more attractive. By the same token, Clinton hatred made Hillary less desirable compared to a blank slate.

Let’s deal with the situation at hand. A jackass is in the White House. The inmates are running Congress. Only a small percentage more Republicans are better than Democrats. If an incumbent Republican is up against a Democrat, I’m voting for the Republican. I just hope I don’t have to make that choice next year. But I’m not going to fight old battles with people who are already out of office.
