This sums it up nicely

Ed Tracey over at DailyKos has a post which really sums up how i feel about President Bush and his rabid supporters. Here's a short except:
The election of 2000 was the first indication of how bad things were to come: the brazenness with which all of us were tagged with horrible epithets, the absolute bootlicking quality that came over Republicans that I know (mercifully, my middle sister hasn't gone that far) and the rise to power of the Savages, Malkins, Coulters and others that - in a more decent, normal time - would have been laughed at as clowns. In fact, the measuring stick that I use for how low the party of my parents has sunk is not the radio talk-show hosts, letter-to-the-editor writers, nor the 101st Fightin' You-Know-Whos...it is those incendiary pundits that are welcomed at official GOP events, and even numerous elected officials who come across as crass, arrogant parrots (with only the parrot's crackers missing) that are what makes our opponents so dyspeptic.

Read the rest of his post at Dailykos. I think you'll agree that it puts into words how many of us feel about politics in general and the effect Bush's presidency has had on all of us. He concludes by saying that he'd like to see the Democrats take back both Houses and for politics to return to normalcy. I think we'd all like to see that except for the Bush cultists.
