I don't really understand it, since, in my view, Bush is not that far from being a liberal himself.

I think, more than creed, it is about "teamism". People identify with a team now more than a ideology. Who is evil and who is right or supportable depends on what team he is on more than what he wants to do. Both sides play the same doublespeak. It is a confused and unfocused time...

I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Most of these guys are sore because their team lost. Much like the emotion that people put into sports teams. Very highly emotional about something I don't find worth getting all that emotional about.

I thought though, at the 2000 elections, that Bush winning was absolutely the hand of God. And now, looking back over this last 3 years and the things he's had to deal with, I'm convinced God put the right man in place. Can you imagine algore being president?

You guys could be right, it could all be just tactics on the part of the democrats.

It's just that I don't personally remember outright hatred in American presidential elections.

My current view is that the Democrats are just out and out socialists, which I view as evil in this day and age, since we've all had a chance to see socialism demonstrated.

OTOH, while I see GW as a straight shooter and a big picture guy, I'm not usually really sure what he's really thinking. These days I'm starting to think the Republicans don't have a particular political philosophy at all.
