For you this is true. For many others, I am not sure. I tire of reading and/or listening to "Conservatives" who are supposed to be a bit more educated and balanced finding every little reason to criticize him-- usually their criticisms are overexagerated.
I don't think that the media and Dems would rip any Republican apart unless they gave them ample reason for it.
I can remember the time where GWB was not butt of every political joke from the left. In fact, things really did not get bad for him until about 2005, as far as his every move being critiqued and attacked.
The "Swift Boaters" were dirty IMO and there was a strong element on the left that never forgave GWB's tolerance of the "Swift Boaters" tactics.
