Afterall, there were no attacks on our soil by al Qaeda after the (failed) attack on the towers in '93, right? Shouldn't HE get as much credit as BUSH is getting for "keeping us safe"?

2. Of course, but the RW repukes have a very warped way of looking at things,
Edited on Tue Dec-02-08 07:43 PM by BrklynLiberal
especially history..and forget about it if it includes Bill Clinton. He is/was their biggest nemesis. He stopped Poppy Bush from getting re-elected and foiled some plans that the repukes had already started to put into action.

Anything good that happened while Clinton was President, was due to Poppy. Anything bad that happened when shit-for-brains was president, was Clinton's fault.
Clinton gets all the blame, but none of the credit.

Got that now?

6. Exactly...
Clinton gets blamed for "allowing" 9/11 for not getting him, he gets blamed for the recession, and Bush gets NO blame.

4. Yep. I've brought that up to my RW family members. They get a glazed
look in their eyes and pretend not to understand.

9. It's amazing how great their capacity is for pretending not to understand.
I thought I was stubborn. But my stubbornness is nothing compared to a RWer's. Plus, part of me believes they must actually BE that stupid, you know? Poor things.
