Its not so much that the left tries to crucify Bush, but they give the Clintons, Kerry and the rest of their gang such a free pass. It's the blantant subjectivity which galls me. Ronald Kessler points this out continuosly in his book A Matter of Character. It's very ironic that when President Reagan passed away the outpouring of admiration was so pervasive because I remember the critsism when he was alive was so pronounced. It was similar to what Bush receives. He doesn't make his own decisions, he's just a figurehead, etc.
