The GOP beat up Jimmy Carter in 1980. How about Bush now? Dems.

[European Socialist]

When Carter had the Iranian Hostage crisis and rising oil prices, he took a non-stop whooping. The Pukes were saying the the U.S. might not survive to the election. I would like to see the same intensity from the Democrats, because 2005 with Bush is much worse.

1. Absolutely, the intensity of attacks has got to be ratcheted up!

Where is the righteous indignation? This administration is so vulnerable it's unbelievable!

2. The Repukes had the "liberal media" help them out.

So few people who are rabid RWers would admit to remembering that we had 51 hostages in Iran, with the Soviet Union just itching for us to fire the first shot.

Those GOPers who were out of diapers at that point, that is . . .

3. This where the Dems got the tag as the weak on national security liberals.

Now, we can tag the repubs as reckless in war neocons.

4. If we had "liberal" Nightline every night saying: Iraq day XXXX

The "liberal" media created the whole movement toward Reagan and the Repugs.

The right wing media will never give the Repugs the same treatment, even for far worse policy (or in this case outright crimes).
