“””Is it ok to detest the Bush’s more than the Obamas and Clintons? I really think I do”””
I always keep in mind that it was Progressive Republicans like Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft that gave us Income Tax, Direct Election of Senators, and the Federal Reserve. While these were implemented during Woodrow Wilson’s tenure, these bad laws were begun during the Roosevelt and Taft administrations.
Taft was a progressive, but the media dubbed him a conservative stand-patter.
