>The Democrats were doing the exact same thing during the Bush wars. They obstructed him every step of the way (even during the prelude to the Iraq war), tried to set up the President for failure, and positioned themselves to benefit from said failure.
That's bullshit. Pelosi took impeachment off the table. They let Bush's tax cuts pass. For a few years, with some noble exceptions they supported him on just about everything related to the wars. They let his Supreme Court nominees get through. They used the filibuster half as much as the Republicans are now. They let Medicare Part D pass. They went along with every remedy for the crash in 2008.
They stopped him on Social Security, Schiavo, and a few other things, but by and large they didn't get in his way when they were in the minority, particularly during his first term.
So, that's just not the truth.
>By the way, you didn't answer any of the questions Jlallen posed. Most of your responses were dismissive with the same attitude the Democrats have been trying to push for years. "What does it matter?"
Yes. It doesn't matter that much.
>But then again, if it didn't matter to you, you wouldn't have responded with your false equivalence in the first place.
You don't understand why I posted what I posted. I didn't post to show that Bush was at fault for the attacks in question, I did it to point out that Fox (nor CNN, nor MSNBC), had very much to say when those attacks happened, and the Democrats did not try to investigate them and pin them on Bush.
