    Funny how when evaluating about 8 years of Bush rule, them trolls can only talk about Clinton

    The collective amnesia of the right wing trolling platoon is astounding, as if the past 8 years hadn't happened.

    It is quite telling than on a thread dedicated to evaluate the past 2 presidential terms. A significant number of posts are talking about Clinton. For a bunch of guys hell bent on shoveling "personal responsibility" some of the people of the right wing persuasion in this forum seem to be way too eager to pass the buck.

    Color me unimpressed. But then again, it sort of explains the mindset of the average person who would have been able to vote *twice* for Bush. You know, the people who to this day like Bush because he would be the kind of guy they would like to have a beer with. Because everybody knows that supposedly recovering alcoholics make swell drinking buddies.

    I weep for this country...
