Gawd... reminds me so much of the Bernie supporters who absolutely REFUSED to support Hillary... and would rather not vote than to support her...

Hmmm. I recall it in 2000 as both he and Gore being bland personality wise in the election. That it was kind of a push as an issue. Gore certainly had the dork vibe down, but I recalled Bush as not very personable either due to the constant bumbling during appearances and also the fact that he was from such wealth.

Hard to say. He also was President during one of the most trying periods in the Republic's history.

I don't think it's hard to say that they should have stopped at Afghanistan. If they had achieved a quick, clean victory in Iraq, who knows how far that group would have gone.
