I am so sick of Republicans attacking Democrats simply because they are on opposite sides of the political spectrum. If President Obama says something that is correct we as Conservatives should be grateful for it, we should be glad at least he's got one things right, and we should try to build upon the areas where we agree.
Likewise we should be criticizing our own people for doing things which are inconsistant with conservative values. Bush had nearly full support of the Republicans throughout his entire presidency all the way up until he tried to force his and McCain's Amnesty bill upon us. However many of the things President Bush did were far from conservative values. We have Bush to thank for the TSA, no child left behind, and the NSA surveillance programs. We have Bush to thank for the economic crash of 2008 and the first set of bailouts that went along with it. In fact many of the things we criticize Obama for expanding were started by Bush.
So lets be intellectually honest as Conservatives. If it's wrong for our opponents to do it it's wrong for us to do it.
