Issue #1: Sounds like you are splitting this one into an a and a b.

a) I thought your post was directed at Jack's statement: "Another rat seen jumping from the sinking ship" and to the news he linked to. Assuming I was right, then I do not agree with you that Jack's statement nor the news piece is evidence of Bush derangement. The news was news and should be covered. Whitehouse staff shake-ups are news. As to McLellen leaving, one might easily leap to the conclusion that he saw an opportunity and took it. I don't blame him a bit. Remove the partisan snark from Jack's subject, and that was all he said.

b) If on the other hand, your brief post was intended to bang your "leftists hate Bush" drum, and Jack's post was your prime exhibit, then I just think that you are off the mark. Find a better exhibit.

((c) Just in case your post intended to bang your "leftists hate Bush" drum, and Jack's post was in no way involved with your post at all, then you could make things clearer if you started new threads for stuff like this.))

Issue #2: I made the valid point that the Left and the Democrats are doing a lot of this to deflect attention from their own lack of capability and the complete airheads currently running their own party. You didn't really address that, did you?

I don't think we are really so organized that we have some plan to deflect attention from anything to anything by getting everyone to say bad things about Bush. We are an unruly lot and spend more of our time arguing with each other than agreeing. In my case (and somewhat more than 50% of voters, including a good chunk of conservatives) I really believe that Bush is a bad president and the sooner we dump him, the better for our country. I am also very concerned that we do not elect someone who is just as bad, the next time.

Additionally, I am very worried about the corrupt congressional leadership. If you think that this is only because I don't want you to pay attention to some Democrat blemish then you have lost what was left of your mind.

Additionally, get used to hearing negative things about conservatives. It is election season. Bet we hear a few negative things about treasonous migrant-worker-hating libs, too. Are you counting those?

It pisses me off that I take the time to answer your questions and you almost never reciprocate.
