>>>have entered into the realm of irrational, blind hatred of Bush<<<


You call it irrational hatred. I call it a strong desire to get rid of a leader who not only doesn't lead but is destroying the spirit and the future of the country. Honestly........have you ever seen numbers this depressing in the past?


"73 percent of Americans said the country is pretty seriously on the wrong track, while 25 percent said things are going in the right direction."

>>>and when he did things well, I gave him credit for them. That is the difference between dislike, even intense dislike, and your irrational hatred.<<<


First off......what qualifies you to discern where to draw the line between intense dislike and hatred? Secondly........I was not a Clinton fan either but I sure as hell don't recall him presiding over the kind of national despair we're in the midst of now. When someone's broader policies are as destructive as Bush's and when they're combined with arrogance and indifference, things done well tend to be overshadowed.

I don't care if Bush opens 10 new soup kitchens in the Bronx because an hour later he trots out Alberto Gonzales and or Dick Cheney who both - with a smile on the faces - tell us to fu#k off as citizens and mind our own business. That's been the pattern and will obviously continue to be. You like to be treated like this by your elected officials and I don't which plays a big role in how we view this regime.
