      There are a lot of Democratic voters who remember that time and are praising this turn of events.

      My circle of friends, we would watch The Daily Show during the Bush years as a group hangout and I'm one of two out of the group that has turned more left. The rest are just typical Democrats.

      I think that most of my friends, when given this news just do the simple behavior when experiencing cognitive dissonance, and just ignore it.

      They have really no set values or morals, they opposed him because he was the non-Dem incumbent. I doubt they would be that shocked even in 2007.

    Says the man who was part of an administration that passed one of the most sweeping surveillance legislation in history, which definitely hadn't been abused to crack down on activists.

      I don't think he can look friendly. Maybe the reason Liz turned out the way she did is that when she first opened up her eyes the "Da-da" towering over her looked like an unhappy sausage made by the team that did character design for the sitcom "Dinosaurs." Game over on having a normal life. Sorry kid.

      that's a thing I've noticed about 3rd Reich Nazi propaganda too. They always made everything look positively dark and menacing even. Not even a hindsight-associative thing; just in actuality.
