Reply #71: You can't imagine that people can disagree with policies

[sabrina 1]

even when those policies are being implemented by elected officials THEY HELPED win??

I remember we criticized the Republicans fiercely for refusing to disagree with Bush when he was clearly wrong, on war, on the economy eg.

Did it ever occur to you that the people who are upset over the way this president constantly gives in to Republicans even when he doesn't have to, WISH LIKE HELL that they COULD support him? That after eight years of Bush they were READY for someone they could stand behind and that they knew he would not always be able to get what he wanted, but they assumed he would fight and when he did, they would do everything to help him?? And even if he lost, they would be grateful that finally someone was standing up for the people?

I am sick to death of these kinds of nasty comments against people who genuinely want this president to do what is right for the country and who are ready to jump up and down cheering for him when he does that.

I will refrain from sinking to the level of assuming that you, because I don't agree with you, have ulterior motives. This is sickening. If you think he is right, then make your case and see if you can persuade people. I have been persuaded many times by thoughtful, considerate people, that I might be wrong.

But I have never, ever been persuaded by nasty insults. You are not helping this president.
