Hate ‘em when alive and pretend to respect and admire ‘em when dead. People are pathetic.
Or more specific: Hate them when they are in power and then, if they are willing to be used as tools, pretend to respect and admire them when they are out of power.
John McCain allowed himself to be used as a tool by the Democrats. He loved their praise whenever he was "crossing the aisle" or joining them in condemning a hated conservative. But when McCain was running for president and chose an unapologetic conservative as running mate, he was roundly vilified and hated. I think McCain was almost relieved he lost the election so that he could get his buddies back. Same with Romney.
It's also disgusting what GWB is allowing to be done to him. Until Trump came along, GWB was easily the most ridiculed and despised president by the Left (even more than Nixon). But now that he's harmlessly out of power and solidly on the never-Trumper bandwagon, he's suddenly adored and respected by the same Left that during his presidency made him a total laughingstock.
Makes me want to throw up.
And then get mad at fellow FReepers when we don't want to be pulled into this type of crazed hypocrisy.
