Let us reflect upon the last 7 yrs..

Maybe a few words from the members of the Olyblog community about how they feel President Bush & VP Dick Cheney (enumerated perhaps & concise..)

(Note: This is not a place to attack each other, or to fantasize about Bill Clinton’s penis)

This here is a wide open page for the sole purpose of talking about Clinton.  Bash him, worship him, swoon or puke, I don't care.  Go at it!

I find that a few of the OlyBlog regulars continue to make comparisons that are particularly outrageous. It appears to happen whenever someone makes a statement about holding the current administration accountable for their actions. It goes something like this: "But CLINTON did it TOO!" This is the worse kind of reasoning, and so far from appropriate that it is kind of a sad commentary that we even have to address it now. But, here we go.

The thing that gets me is that all they achieve is to muddy the issue when we have a President who ACTUALLY deserves to be impeached. Actions have consequences, and Bush's actions have hurt our country in innumerable ways. The other guy? He got a blow job. These two are not the same, and to continue to maintain that they are is to continue to allow the current administration to damage the country. Read that last part again: If you continue to make this specious argument, you provide cover for people who are presently hurting this country. There is no other interpretation. If, because of partisanship and spite, you continue to make this argument, you are a false patriot, someone who claims love of country only as a political ploy, but isn't actually protecting our democracy.

I found this while walking around downtown with my daughter yesterday. For those of you prone to finding such things funny, I recommend moving your mouse over the picture:
