the thread is here for the center to critique both the incumbent rightwing administration...

I appreciate the difference between critiquing policies/performance and Bush Derangement Syndrome. FWIW, I picked up some evidence of BDS yesterday, as I do periodically, which is the phenomenon that has lead me to comment that you are more sensitive to partisanship from the right than the left. (Seems to me that, given that I am not a Republican and that I've been on Bush's case from day one, if it looks like BDS to me, it probably is.)

It seems to me that calling lefties on their BDS when it shows up might be helpful in disabusing your complainers. Or maybe nothing will satisfy them short of a RW thread. Dunno.

I think it's established that if major Democrats ever do anything worthy of both notice and criticism, we will criticise them... but right now, they're not running Congress, Senate or Presidency so the current clusterf*cks of economic, foreign, domestic and strategic incompetence don't live on their doors.
