Has George W Bush been vindicated?
 
Were we all wrong in criticizing his efforts to protect our people from the evil terrorists?

Since a Democratic President and a Democratic Senate have adopted the policies of George W Bush in fighting terrorism, is it time we look at George W Bush in a different light?

Should those that ridiculed and mocked the previous President apologize for their misguided comments?

It is now obvious that the eight years we were opposing George W Bush, we were wrong. The present Democratic Party has adopted and validated his policies. The FISA Judges, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and the President all agree that Mr Bush was fighting terrorism in the correct way. They have rubber-stamped his accomplishments into history.

3. Perhaps on this particular matter, yes.
 
It's hard to deny considering the circumstances. However, the Iraq lies and torture can never be.

Not that such things exist but since you're convinced allow me to remind you Obama has endorsed those as well.

8. According to the loons in the Obama Fan Club, yes.
 
Any continuation of Bush's policies by Obama is just fine and dandy with them. Hell, Obama could have continued the Iraq War and they would probably be peddling the WMD lies themselves.

15. I'm hoping this was done because a vast right wing conspiracy to overthrow the government
 
was uncovered, so they seized the phone records and saved the country.

Other than that, I just can't bring myself to believe that A Democratic prez would sink to the depths of a Bush.

OMG. this is so painful for this lifetime radical liberal yellowdog Democrat.

20. I feel so stupid now.

All those years I spent protesting, agitating, educating. All those faxes and emails I fired off in protest. All the scrutiny I received by the Authorities for my political activities. All the tears, all the rage, all the frustration. All for naught. I was wrong. So very, very wrong. 

Now I feel doubly stupid because I did the same damn thing when O came into office. Because I ignorantly thought it was still wrong.

Obama sure showed me.

25. Bush hasn't been vindicated, but he HAS been INOCULATED against prosecution or even criticism.

The Obama Administration's endorsement of:

* the Patriot Act,

*the extra-Constitutional Powers of the Unitary Executive,

* the evisceration of the Constitutional Protections of the Bill of Rights,

*the Militarization and national Coordination of our Local Police Departments,

*the violent suppression of Peaceful Protests,

*the surveillance of "potential" protest leaders

*secret "Kill Lists" without oversight, due process, or appeal


ALL of these and more have now been officially endorsed by the Democratic Party.
There is no Opposition Party.

If you object to the above,
TOUGH LUCK, SUCKER!!!
because YOU don't get a VOTE!
Hahahahahahaha!

It will be interesting to watch the DUches twist themselves into pretzels but in the end run they will all be sucking 0bama's D by the end of day.

Thanks for the hat tip!

The latest kerfunkle could be the stake in the heart of Skins' Island. If too many DUmp denizens complain, Skinner may get a call from the Shadowy Hand...


"David. Your monkeys have gotten out of hand. Big Brother is not pleased. Make it go away."

"No, please. I can make it right."

"There's only one way to make it right, David."

"But, but...."

"No 'buts', David. Do it. And do it now. Remember, we're watching"


And DU will go down the Memory Hole.

Your last line brought a smile to my face.  As for the rest of it, seek help.  You have serious problems.

Only one of them can really be put at GW's feet.
There seems to be a problem with that, however.

“These reports are deeply concerning and raise questions about whether our constitutional rights are secure,”
“I do not believe the released FISA order is consistent with the requirement of the Patriot Act,” Sensenbrenner wrote. “How could the phone records of so many innocent Americans be relevant to an authorized investigation as required by the Act?”

Jim Senenbrenner is the primary author of the Patriot Act.
In other words, DUmmies, your Bronco Bama, violated the snot out of it. 
Guess what, DUmmies.....YOU

Kentuck sure used a lot of words to say "it's Bush's fault".
