I guess I'm crazy in thinking that just because someone is elected as leader doesn't mean they have carte blanch to go fucking nuts with the country. When the people elect a president, it's because they believe he will do good. If he
just ends up being a lame duck, that's fine. If he tries to overturn the rule of law and route the constitution, that is unacceptable.
Punishing Bush would be punishing ignorance, which is always a bad idea.
First off, Bush is not ignorant. We may all view him as a dumbass around these parts, but he knew what he was doing every step of the way. He allowed his cronies to run amok of the administration and approved the War on Iraq, approved de-regulation, approved torture, and did nothing to actually make the country secure. He had an agenda of benefiting those at the top, and he attempted the great swindle. So don't feed me this "Bush was ignorant" bullshit.
Secondly, if Bush
were ignorant, it's still a big deal. He's not a toddler, he's the leader of our country. As such, the person filling the position should be expected to learn about the shit he's talking about. Ignorance is not an excuse for the most powerful man in the country.
There, I've taken you seriously. Feel free to berate me or pretend I'm treating you poorly.
