(154,021 posts)regardless of party? It will happen, a Republican will become President of the United States. So at that moment will you extend the same courtesy?
I know I do not expect an answer, so I will do what I can do, and that is extend that courtesy to all Presidents out of respect for the OFFICE, not necessarily the person.
Of course I understand that calling a President, well President, and not using any names, might mean for some members that this means one is not questioning policy. Far from it. One can be polite and not use names, and still call them on policy. I am tired of the double standard though. When our guy is in, do not even question him... when it is the other side, all types of names are allowed... and not necessarily questioning policy.
Of course, given these days I spend a lot of time reading policy, I know the difference between hurling stones and well, discussing policy.
