In the present environment, it is bashing. It really is. And it isn't even bashing him for specific things, it is nebulous.
Perfect is the enemy of the good. Always has been, always will be.
if you're happy with the way the Replicans are running things... good for you....
The way to correct this is at the ballot box, not by bashing people who are true blue Conservatives, like Hastert.
So after the election can I suggest that we can work inside the party to get better reps and leadership without it being bashing?
