"It appears to me that most of the Bush-bashers are disaffected negativists who wallow in the fever swamps of the political fringe. They are Losertarians, Buchananuts, Keyesters and the like who are drawn to bellicose demagogues like flies to a bad smell. They want shouting and bloviating and tub-thumping and anyone who does not subscribe to their particular brand of single-issue looniness is branded as a liberal, socialist, pinko running-dog or whatever. Pay them no mind because in the real world their numbers are so few that they are politically insignificant"

Once again you have proven my point! Personal vilification and insults, but, nowhere do you address the issues we present relative to our disappointment in bush.

Do you think you Bush-bashers are the only ones allowed to play offense here and everyone else is relegated to playing permanent defense?

I described your (the collective "you" that is) mindset and motivation and that's entirely relevant.

Elsewhere I've described your quibbles with Bush — which you have inflated in your own mind to the level of recriminations based on "philosophical principles" — as petty kvetching about supposed derelictions by Bush which are either insignificant, unavoidable or imaginary.

And that goes for Rush Limbaugh too!
