Except that Bush wasn't a monster. Nice try. Obama was black. They didn't even vet him at all.
Quote:
In the 47 years of his life before his inauguration, he moved through institutions, met and interacted with people, rented apartments, bought and sold cars, held jobs, went to the doctor, ate meals, brushed his teeth, and who knows what else. The mistake that so many conservatives make is in believing that in some (or all) of these details of his life lies the key to Obama's undoing. If only we can find the radical mentor, the girlfriend holding on to a decades-old secret, or the revealing document, then Obama will be unmasked, his true horrifying self revealed at last for all to see. Then the scales will fall from the voters' eyes and they'll boot him from the office he never deserved to occupy in the first place.
....there were hundreds, maybe thousands of articles written in 2008 (and since) about Barack Obama's youth. He even wrote a pretty frank book about it himself, before he ever became a politician. If you think he wasn't "vetted" you weren't paying attention. But there are millions of conservatives who believe precisely that, and as we approach Obama's possible re-election, with an extremely busy and consequential first term almost behind us, the obsession with his allegedly hidden past only grows. So what does it mean that a candidate is "vetted"? Does it mean we know everything there is to know about him? Of course, that's simply impossible. Perhaps it means we know everything important, everything that might make a difference once he's in office. Which is what makes the continued conservative interest in vetting Obama so strange.

The article's author really becomes unhinged when he writes nonsense like this:
Then there was the party’s accommodation to and exploitation of the bigotry in its ranks. No, the majority of Republicans are not bigots. But they have certainly been enablers. Who began the attack on immigrants — legal and illegal — long before Trump arrived on the scene and made it his premier issue? Who was it who frightened Mitt Romney into selling his soul in 2012, talking of “self-deportation” to get himself right with the party’s anti-immigrant forces? Who was it who opposed any plausible means of dealing with the genuine problem of illegal immigration, forcing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to cower, abandon his principles — and his own immigration legislation — lest he be driven from the presidential race before it had even begun?
---------------------------------------
No one is attacking legal immigrants. However, we, as a nation, simply can not continue to take in 1 million legal immigrants per annum as we don't have unlimited natural resources or buildable land.
Being against illegal immigration does not make one "a bigot" as there is nothing bigoted about expecting those who want to come here to do so in accordance with our immigration laws. The author is another one who deliberately blurs the lines between legal and illegal immigration.
As for Rubio, he was originally against amnesty. Then he joined the Gang of 8. The part about Rubio abandoning his principles---he had no principles to begin with.
---------------------------------------
And then there is more nonsense:
Then there was the Obama hatred, a racially tinged derangement syndrome that made any charge plausible and any opposition justified.
---------------------------------------
Did it ever occur to the author that the dislike of Obama had nothing to do with his race? Instead, it was his policies that caused the dislike.
There are so many anti Trump threads now by desperate pathetic people that I'm no longer even looking at them.
I don't even read them anymore. I suspect the anti Trump posters will intensify their attacks and number of threads created in the next few days. You can almost feel their desperation in their writing.

So true yet which party does he choose to run for?
Could it be cause he wouldn't have had a snowball's chance lasting weeks as a Democrat?

Exactly! Geez, at least some of us learned our lesson back in '08. It's pathetic how some are doing even worse embracing a lying, hypocritical, Hitleresque dirt-bag like Trump this time!
Trump's success is no different than Bernie Sanders' success -- it's just more successful.
The Democrat and Republican parties have failed their voters, so populist candidates like Trump and Sanders are doing well.
The only real difference between Trump and Sanders is that Sanders thinks that money grows on trees and you can have open borders but still protect the American worker.
