2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Boehner, McConnell Refuse To Take the President's Election Night Call [View all]EmeraldCityGrl
(4,310 posts)25. If either of the retired Bush Presidents
have respect for the office they once held, they would set these bastards straight. You
can hate the man but you respect the office. If Democratic members of Congress were
treating a republicon president like this, Carter, Clinton and especially Obama would be
personally offended.
That is one of the differences between Democrats and Republicons. While I may disagree
with a number of our Congress people, they have never insulted the President on a personal
level. Can you imagine if this had happened to Bush in 2004? It's inconceivable.

It's just that they have hold of the media and the FCC has no power over them.

There were at least two FOX workers who sued FOX so they would not have to lie for FOX. They lost.
