I enjoy it when you switch on the bullshit and post what you really think, but I and probably most of the other people on the board get tired of your moronic shit, no offense, and wish you would focus on the other stuff. You are not a moron. You post some moronic shit. Love the sinner, hate the sin.

The politics of personal destruction in this venue amounts to attacking the poster personally, as opposed to the message of the post. The left here (and I find irl) frequently substitute message discussion with responses such as " fuck you asshole". I deplore this type of diviseness. On the other hand, as part of a policy critique, critiquing an individual politician's personal characteristics or behaviours is fair game. Did you miss the part of the 90s where it was determined that "character counts". That was in part the message of the 2000 election.

That's horseshit, and no less ironic for your whining above about the politics of personal destruction. You're doing your level best to take an issue of substantive policy and turn into a question of personality.

Character counts. The Clinton co-president's dislike, distrust and disrespect of the military and intelligence communities, during his presidency, in our country is well documented.

I have no doubt that Clinton disagreed with what Bush was doing, and I think he showed class in keeping that to himself, just has Bush's father usually did the same when Clinton was in office.

Except there are plenty of quotes in the run up to Iraqi campaign in the GWOT where Clinton supports Bush. Did you see co-President Clinton's quote above from 10/2002. Doesnt sound like disagreement to me.....
