      And I’d support him in that. Bush is hated by both Republicans and Democrats, they’ve got nothing to gain by courting him. They’ll lose more votes than they’d gain.

        Sure, but I miss the days when I could just disagree with conservatives instead of fear them trying to push fascism.

          Bush was a fascist as well. Post 9/11 any dissent was crushed for years, which is how they got to push the Iraq war through.

            People tend to forget just how hard the propaganda machine was swinging then. Remember freedom fries? And how the start of the war was timed for primetime television?

        Giving Democrats an opportunity to move to the right and gain nothing? No wonder they want his support so badly.
