"You did not vote for Bush twice. No one will vote for President Bush and carry such a hatred for him."

I have the same suspicion.

But here is what SOME will do. They will vote for a figment of their imagination...they refused to find out where Bush stood on all the issues...they disliked Gore, Kerry, or Libertarianism or whatever, so with blind eyes they pulled the GOP lever.

Then they spend the rest of the time screaming how the man BETRAYED THEM AND HE ISN'T WHAT THEY THOUGHT HE WOULD BE. Talk about setting up straw men so you can continually bash them later. But you can always say...I voted for the man so I'm no phony, I'm the real deal, and if I wanna call him Shrub and a Fool and Jorge Bush and a one-worlder and the rest, I earned that right because I voted for him.

No they did not vote for GEORGE W BUSH. They voted for a straw man just so they could pull this very thing.

I knew what I was getting when I voted for Bush. And to tell you the truth, he has been somewhat MORE CONSERVATIVE than I thought he would be. A pleasant surprise, indeed.

And no I don't agree with him on everything. Nor do I anyone else. Who does???

But the hatred of others towards him is palpable. A hard man to hate. Takes some kinda folks to hate a man that badly who is very hard to hate. I used to think it took extreme leftists. Now I know better, sad to say.

Well thats a bit of a stretch, doncha think? I mean, you're suggesting we're secretly happy he's let us down on the border issue.

I well knew Bush wasn't as conservative as I would've liked but he was far & away more preferable to the opposition in either 2000 or 2004. For example, I may have hoped but never really expected he'd focus on border security. But I figured doing nothing about them would be better than what the dims undoubedtly had planned.

The thing that surprised me, and I'm sure others who are concerned about borders, is in this post 9/11 world he not only seems uninterested in tightening border security, but he seems to be actually encouraging the flow of illegals, in a roundabout way, and thats infuriating.
