Why Do Democrats Keep Embracing George W. Bush?

Lest we forget, Bush was an incredibly divisive president. He brought the country together for a fleeting moment after 9/11—then promptly frittered away all that goodwill by trusting his stupid gut and going his own way. He won reelection by slandering his war-hero opponent and stoking conservative fears about gay marriage. His line about being “a uniter, not a divider” was a long-standing joke. And his successor—who, for better and often for worse, seemed to genuinely believe in the ideal of national unity—rode a wave of anti-Bush fervor into the White House.

So bush is bad and you keep shitting on democrats why?

You’re getting pitiful at this point.

EDIT to add this is pitiful shit and you should feel pitiful.

You're defending GWB?

Hell no! I’m attacking your shitty logic based off a photo! You really are that dense?

How dense do you have to be to see that photo as evidence of anything?

They're defending GWB.
