An Argument I'd Wanted to Make

This comment was made on a thread about TPM's Golden Duke Awards. It's a viewpoint that I wish would get more play in our national discussion:

Guys!

This is all just left bashing right (Did I miss a lefty named somewhere?). What is going on in America with the increasing rise of hateful, poisonous, mostly emotional attitudes? This desire to to hate, to villify, to call criminal and call for impeachment because certain groups of people don't like a politician's POLICIES and VIEWPOINT, is a very perverted, dysfunctional, inefficient way for society to operate.

As much as I don't want to see Hillary make office, I certainly don't want to put up with 4 to 8 years of emotionally generated, attempted take-downs by the right.

I'm not a Bush supporter, but there are so many lefties out there who do not understand that Bush is PURPOSEFULLY challenging the boundaries of the Constitution and the very powers of the office of the president. But this is his position and right UNDER the Consitution. Our system actually has checks on a president going too far (even if they seem to operate slowly). Notice how NONE of these checks have come into reality even with a Democratic majority? There's a reason, and you don't know what your talking about until you know the reason.
