However, his buddy-buddying with the Slick and Jeb and the GOPe lately is completely unforgivable to me. His ignoring of Trump and those who put him where he is right now is equally deflating.
How could I have been so wrong?
Don't think you are exceptional that way. For me, I look at the alternatives (Gore, Kerry), and the choice is clear, but my eyes were pretty well opened when GWB nominated Harriet Miers for SCOTUS. I figured it would take 50 years to be able to form a position on whether the Iraq war decision was good for the US (and good for Iraq), but in hindsight, gave too much weight to US commitment to the project. After less than 20 years it appears to have been a disaster, a bad decision.
Not saying it's an acuracte stereotype, but I see GWB as an arrogant frat-boy born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He's as committed to NWO as his daddy was and is.
I don’t know that history will be all that kind to GWB as regards to 911. It happened eight months into his administration. I doubt Trump will have sloppy homeland defense that far into his administration.
W had some weaknesses to start with, but I think he went bad in office. When you hold hands with the Saudi scumbags (the elite's preferred version of ISIS) some of their evil leaches into you. It's the exact same reason they want to teach "moderate" Islam to children.
You weren't wrong to vote against Al Gore or John Kerry. The "wrong" party was the Republican party. It has been wrong ever since Reagan.
