Who are you talking about, the people here labelling others "bushbots" and "RINOs"? I think the WH's response wasn't the best to those initial attacks. But honestly, if you read or listened to the things Ingraham and Coulter were saying from day one, they've got a lot of nerve to be complaining about namecalling.
Actually, they're the ones using the whiny Dem tactics. Start a smear campaign, then bitch and moan because the other side fires back. Classic.
The bushbots label themselves.
RINOs? I haven't labeled anybody here a RINO over this.
The distinction, and please try to understand this:
If you think george bush is peachy keen in everything he does, fine. That's your right. Maybe a little koolaid drinking going on, but if you want to, great.
If you think bush can do no wrong and you attack anybody who dares question him, and especially if you use the tactics of the left to shout them down, then you deserved to be called a bush bot or worse. I don't even like the use the term 'bushbot' because it's too cutesy. I prefer to be honest: It's doing exactly what the clintonites were condemned for doing: Unable to allow dissent based on the issues because the attachment to personality was so strong.
THAT is one of the key things that has decimated the democratic party. I'm not going to sit by and watch it happen to the Republican party as well.
