if it was a dem in office.

We would be afraid that if we publically kick the president's butt and called him out it would make the whole party look bad and cost us elections.

People would relate (D) to failure and vote (R) next time which would only make the problem worse.

Repugs are the same way. Smack down bush and the party goes down as well. People will see (R) as bad and not just bush. They want to keep winning and see a chance to get another R in office which they know will be better then bush, and certainly to them better then any D that could in.

People put up with crap for fear of losing more then they have already lost.

What would we do here? If we get a D president in will be slamming them on each thing we disagree with or ignoring it because we want to project a good image to the masses?

I may well be wrong, but I thought I would toss it out anyway.
