7. They have no objectivity whatsoever.
I mean, if you want me to assess the last four GOP Presidents I'd say...

Ford - Damned by association, and did he ever really have the gravitas?

Reagan - He changed the status quo, whether that was for better or worse really depends on how much money you're raking in and how few scruples you have. However, some people INSIST that he changed it for the better despite having had their lives diminished substantially by his swirling cesspit of greed.

HW - This might be controversial, but I feel that if he'd somehow won the primary and been elected INSTEAD of Reagan, things might be a little bit better. The Bush family was a fairly liberal Republican one before HW threw whatever principals he had out of the window to join Reagan on the crazy train. Nonetheless, he still managed to do less damage than Reagan, and I suspect he'll be the last ever Republican President to offer an improvement - however miniscule - on his predecessor.

W - Fucking atrocious. But he won't be the worst.

But ask a right-winger to opine ANY Democratic President, you'll get a shitfull of brimstone in your face. If you didn't know better, you'd think that they were just ridiculous parodies of members of a civilised society rather than actual people. Incredible.
