Suggesting we "move forward" and ignore Bush crimes is insulting to us still facing consequences
Isn't it a little like telling the family of a murder victim to "walk it off"?
We're still facing the economic consequences of the Enron presidency
We're still dealing with the very real consequences of the Iraq war
We're still living in the aftermath of Katrina
We're still living in a country where our journalists and politicians are openly spied on
Many people are still dealing with the consequences of the Bush DOJ
etc.
Sorry, many of us don't have the luxury of "moving forward" with smiles on our faces, ready to reach across the aisle to those who have no respect for constitutional law.
This is a pretty big bonfire, so only the Primitives of Prominence.
First up, Ms. Ed, the unappellated eohippus:

65. yep yep yep.
I choked down the bile this time when I cast my vote because I was convinced it was for the greater good--no matter how I felt personally. I was convinced that SS and Medicare would only be saved by Obama. Well guess what? They aren't.
I promise I won't do it next time. I will not have blood on my hands.
There are very very few public servants out there anymore...the majority are self-servants. I will not vote for another one of those in my lifetime. Change had better happen and it had better be progressive. If not, I will not support it and I do not stand alone in this.
I will no longer buy the guilt trip that republicans are worse than democrats--because the prelims are coming in and the answer is--no, they really aren't.
For the record, Ms. Ed had supported John Edwards in the Democrat presidential primaries, and she's not lying--not lying a rare aberration of hers--when she says "choked down the bile" when voting for 0bama.
And here's Playboy Pedro, who got drunk at a wedding reception and dunked his cellular telephone into the punch bowl:

11. I'm going to try that Republican/criminal approach if I ever get hauled before a judge.
But your honor...we need to stop dwelling on what WAS, and look forward to what could be. We need to stop looking back, we need to MOVE FORWARD and forget that I ever committed a crime or acted negligently in a way that hurt other people. Please, judge, who are you to judge? Let's move forward!

Wow. A big bonfire, but only three Primitives of Prominence at it, the rest being the
unterprimitiven, the faceless lynch mob, the amorphous blob, where no primitive really sticks out.
