Yes, when the demonstrations were going on under Bush administration, Bush had sub 50% approval rating. Obama has higher than 50% approval rating.

There were tons of protests against the War in Iraq and at the time Bush's approval rating was well above 50% ... I doubt you questioned the validity of those protests, or defended Bush with the protests after his second election win by pointing out that he won the election with the majority of popular vote.

 

You are right, I never questioned those protests. Just as the Bush administration never questioned the validity of there being WMDs.

I think two elections worth of thousands of ballots being destroyed in primarily republican states was enough to let us know that we weren't going to win no matter what we did.

 

 

Do you ever try to think for yourself or can you only respond with partisan talking points?

The protests against the war are very similar to the protests against the bailout and out of control spending ... It is a collection of people who firmly believe that the direction the government is taking the country in will make it worse in the long run. If you examine any of these protests in detail you would find that very few of them are what you would call "Grassroots" and that they all involve opportunists who help organize the protests for political gain.
