I know is that I honestly don't think that any Democrat... would make them happy.
Some people just like to bitch, is my theory.
Yup. And, whatever. If they want to, then they're going to. Although I always want to ask them, "Do you like ANYTHING??? AT ALL???" But it's not worth engaging them.
OTOH, it seems to me that the Obama-hating rightwingers *would* be happy with just about any Republican in office. Weird.
I think anyone looks good when a guy you don't like is in charge. Heck, there were a lot of Republicans I'd be happy to have replaced GWB with.
I knew the world was a weird place when I looked back on George Herbert Walker Bush and thought, "I miss him."
He at least understood why foreign policy was important.

Totally.

Shoulder rubs don't count as policy?

I had a similar thought this morning. I was listening to the soundtrack to "Judgment Night", and wondered if anyone in the early 90s ever thought we would be nostalgic for gangsta rap some day.
I think the cooling argument was similar to this article.

At least that's about what it sounded like to me, though the Al Gore connection was an addition.

That was Dubya.
I have to admit that it softened me a wee, tiny bit toward GHWB to find out that (a) he was actually named for the poet Herbert Walker, and (b) he's at least vaguely familiar with Walker's work. Not quite enough for me to forgive him all his horrid offspring, but just a wee, tiny bit.
I have some seriously Obama-hating leftist friends. They are often just as irrational and tinhatty about it as the right wing ones.
Oh yeah. But then, I find it funny that many of my Republican family/friends think he's so lefty. IMO, he's pretty centrist, really. He's certainly not as lefty as I am.
We have a big kinky Halloween party tonight, and The Boy is geeking out over stuff he brought home from work for his costume (which I think is going to be Dr. Horrible, or at least Dr. Horrible-inspired): shoulder-length black welding gloves and crazy-ass goggles. He's cracking me up.
He might just have a freeze ray in the attic.
