There's one guy who uses the Herald opinion section as his monthly forum for irrational diatribes against Republicans, like his hatred for the debt under Reagan and Bush while ignoring that Obama amassed more debt than all his predecessors combined, or blaming Sept. 11 on Bush when Clinton is the one who dropped the ball on counter-terrorism. But you really run out of arguments when you blame Republicans for hurricanes! Hurricanes? Really? Are we to blame Obama for Irene and Sandy, then?
