Will Bush be more reviled when he leaves office?
When the MSM is no longer the propaganda arm of the current administration. Or will the next President and MSM extend some kind of courtesy and cover Bush's back until people for get about him?

1. It depends, is he still planning to go into exile in Paraguay? I could quickly put him
...out of my mind if he did that and never showed his fascist face and smirk to the world ever again :wtf:

2. He'd be more useful to the GOP as a martyr than an ex-pResident.
:scared:

3. No
Because whoever comes next will inherit a lot of problems - like Carter, he or she will be blamed for them, and Bush will look not-so-bad by contrast.

P.S. - I hope that the above is not true.

11. That's why its important to somehow
some way, convince the American people that the Republican ideology is POISON. It is really important. Because otherwise, like the abused wife or the stockholm-syndromed Patty Hurst, the public is going to go grovelling back at the feet of their abusers. The American people need to be not just led by the next president, but DEPROGRAMMED. Democrats desperately need to puth forth their own visions or memes, otherwise that conservative programming is going to stay in the publics head.

4. By me? About the same.
Only it will be legal then to say a few things that are banned just now.

6. 'Hard to imagine a higher degree of contempt that I could hold...
for this reviled creature....But, if he did disappear from public view, perhaps, like Pavlov's dogs, many of us could let it go (but only momentarily).

7. The U.S. Government always re-writes history...
It's what Investigations and Commissions are all about.

8. No, after he is allowed to leave office after committing one of the first crimes against
humanity of the 21st century, without so much as a peep out of our "leaders", he will go on to be reconditioned by the republiks as a great two-term President and visionary.

In addition to furnishing him with a lifetime of benefits and security,at our expense, we can look forward the the George W. Bush Presidential library, the George W. Bush parkway, federal buildings will bear his name, and our children will learn about how what a great leader he was and how he established a permanent US presence in the middle east.

How do you like that? The first great mass murderer of the new century will be role model.

The next President will bear the blame for the disasters he has saddled us with.

...and the beat goes on...

9. for some unexplainable reason ... the MSM has been covering the Bushes backs ever since PrescottBush
... all down the line of three generations of Bushes ... maybe four, depending on how you view their "Do not touch the following Bushes: Jenna, Barbara Jr., Noelle, George P., and Jebbie."

So, the probabilities are ... they will cover Bush backs forever. Sad. Isn't it?

10. I Don't Know About Reviled,...
