Your post is a lot of what's wrong with politics, albeit, perhaps unintentionally. People need to stop treating politics like bloods and crips or like they're rooting for their favorite team and just go with what the better option is.
I was mad when Bush one because I didn't think he was the right guy for the country (and I was right). I couldn't vote at the time though. I was only a sophomore in high school. But it wasn't on some "damn they got us this time guys." Hyper-partisanship is never a good thing. The reason people are still sour over Bush has more to do with his enduring legacy than any sense of "damn we couldn't beat him." If Obama is successful in his second term and goes out with a majority approval rating like Clinton, why in the world would you be walking around like :mitt:?
