Let’s see: conservatives ripped Bush for his stance on illegal aliens, Dubai Ports, Harriet Miers, his unwillingness to defend his policies, many of his Iraq policies, his failure to stop the pork barrel spending, and unwillingness to veto massive spending, among others. Still and all, the man had principles, and you knew what you were getting with Bush.”

LOL you cannot be serious. The illegal aliens 100% I’ll give you, Bush alienated the base, but PLEASE cite to any reputable post from the early stages of the Iraq War, which was clearly illegal from day 1 (as a lawyer, I’ll tell you willful ignorance or recklessness are the same thing), or a call to veto his budgets. Yes, Obama’s is bigger by .4 billion, but he didn’t exempt “unexpected” expenditures like Iraq as bush did in his (while our troops used scrap metal as body armor but I digress)….who could have expected we would invade a country that had nothing to do with our national security! A totally unexpected budget expenditure to be sure. I clearly remember all the “tea-parties” during that time. /sorcasm

I’m not the biggest fan of Olbermann, but the guy did a SCATHING attack on Obama’s retaining of the status-quo of Bush’s wiretapping and torture memos policy that def. surprised me as I always assumed he was a partisan hack (he def was during the election run-up). He’s no Glenn Greenwald to be sure, but PLEASE LINK to any backing of you said that took place as it was happening. Olbermann did a few nights ago, Greenwald has since day 1. Plenty of conservatives jumped the ship with the rest of the rats about Iraq once it was clear it wasn’t working, very few stood up before it happened and said “regardless if this works 100% as we think it will and we’re greeted as liberators, it is ILLEGAL and IMMORAL.” Your post seems to implies that, please cite or correct me where I’m wrong.

I think it’s fine that they get paid off with advertising dollars. But we’ll see how “independent” they can think when they become part of the Democratic money machine.

BTW, does anybody know if Kos or any of the other bloggers gets a “scrape” for fundraising? That’s an area where I’d argue that they could and should be making money, just as any professional fundraiser does.
Sorry… forgot to say great post - can’t wait to read your next one!

Wow, and AP wants to be paid too. You just listed some of the left wing knee-jerk blogs I seldom read because about all they do is sprout the party line.

I don’t blog so I don’t know the expenses of blogging especially for an individual blogger. I do know that almost all blogging sites that I’ve read do have a please donate button.

But I think it’s funny for these bloggers asking to be paid for shilling. Now they know what the term, giving your milk for free, means.

With Obama, all the left is getting is buyers remorse.

Nice deflection, though, Joe.

Your last paragraph Rick sounds like what rightwing blogs do. For your info Daily Kos ripped Holder and the Obama administration for keeping some of Bush’s rulings on illegal wiretaps. Unlike republicans, democrats aren’t monolithic.
