Love how this is further turning the Republicans into a parody.  Also seems to be doing a good job at making farcical the outrage over AIG and the bailouts.

Plz explain when this was and how it came to be. I don't remember the flourishing part.

Sounds like much of the left for the last 8 years. :o
My memory is that the left in general didn't like Bush to begin with, generally supported him after 9/11 until the Iraq war - which attracted a lot of left wing support.  He drove the left mad because he won as much as policies.  But I think, except for the very left, that most lefties weren't being mad until 2003-4.

The elections also went down a bit differently. I don't think anyone ever claimed Bush was an apostle.

Yes true.  In fact more democrats gave Bush a high approval rating in his first week in office then Republicans gave Obama.

I'm amused at all the complaints about irrational "Bush hate" for the last several year by the GOP types.  Now they are talking about succession!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well yes, since the day Obama won, the right has been concerned with how it'll get the office back.

I thought we were discussing the behaviour of the opposing party not the views of the President's? :mellow:

Views play a role.  After all, part of the reason I view Obama as an anathema, beyond kicking Hil to the curb, is because his supporters were so fucking annoying.

I can understand that.  But we're not talking about discontent or anything like that, we're talking about stuff like what MP linked to, the nutty stuff.  The stuff that's verging on the crypto-Muslim (10% still think he's Muslim, after all), Bill Ayres ghost writing for him and birth certificate nonsense.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Well he went to great pains to point out he was a leader.  An apostle is a follower.

These people are treasonous and insane.

The role of Tim is already taken.  Calm down.

Nah, Obama should just state that he will personally ride down to Texas and hang Rick Perry from the nearest tree.  Just as the founder of our party said when he was faced with these type of threats.
