HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAA!!
I don’t know that I agree that Bush rammed through the Patriot Act and rushed us to war in Iraq. The original Patriot Act passed after Sept. 11th, and the vote was almost unanimous. And the debate about war in Iraq consumed Congress for months in 2002. In the end, large majorities in Congress voted for the Iraq war resolution. Even good liberals like Hillary Clinton voted for it. I have to go back and check, but I think even a majority of Democratic congressmen voted for the war in Iraq.
I guess we’re seeing revisionist history here. Liberals will say Bush did this, Bush did that, Bush rammed throught this and that, when the historic record will show that he had strong support of Democrats.
Whereas with issues such as this health care bill and cap and trade, if they pass, it will be with bare majorities, and almost unanimous Republican opposition.
