I hate it when the left starts to get a clue. Thankfully, this is always a temporary condition, and unlikely to catch on in the Democratic Party.

Leftists who get frustrated with the irrationality of their fellow travelers are either on the road to becoming conservatives, or on the road to becoming embittered crackpot journalists. This kid seems 50/50 - he could head either way.

" . . . how economic inequality has been growing in this country long before Bush took office, . . . "

WHAT!!??? I thought LBJ's War on Poverty was supposed to end "economic inequality". Isn't that what O have been paying for all these years with my taxes?

So, kid, whose economy should be equalized? Yours? are you willing to give up your fancy car and nice home and expensive college education so that Mexican immigrants who are sucking the system dry can move into your neighborhood? Why should some portion of the money that I earn be distributed by the government to someone else who doesn't want to work and just wants to have their personal economy equalized?

Grow up, kid!! Get a job and find out what life is like in the REAL world, for crying out loud.

...we should be able to treat our presidents with the same lack of respect we show everyone else.

And therein lies your one major personality flaw, Peter.

Try treating everyone else with respect and you may find you'll begin having a better image of yourself and possibly...just possibly you'll stop lashing out to compensate for your own shortcomings.

... how once again he was going to screw up all of our lives.

So if I got this right, the President (who has screwed up all of our lives and threatens to do so again) will be elected because most of us (except for weepy collegiate bedwetters) are too stupid to understand?

GOOD!

"If the Bush-bashing continues in the place of honest consideration of policies, then the Democrats will not only lose the election, but lose what is left of their integrity as well."

Mr. Douglas, the 'Rat party has lost their integrity manifold when they refused to remove His Slickness from offices for his gross abuses.

The working assumption of the increasingly battered left is that George W. Bush is fundamentally stupid, lucky, controlled, dishonest and hapless.

The smug Manhattan, Georgetown and Bel Air dandies cannot conjure a recognition of a political adversary who is absolutely beating them everywhere. They don't see a CIC committed to winning a perilous war against murderous terrorists and their mentor states. They don't see a CEO re-engineering our selfish domestic Federal LEO agencies and our sick Pentagon fiefdoms. They don't see a guy who is inch by inch, audaciously transforming our diseased Medicare, Social Security, Education and Civil Servant monstrosities and moving them into the private sector and 21st century management. They don't see that the dialogue is about cutting taxes! It's about restoring our Christian prolife heritage, reiterating our soverign independence, reducing our bureaucratic meddling in our businesses, property prerogatives and free markets. He's pissing off the French, transexual Bill Maher and fatassed DixieChick vocalist demographis, he must be stupid and some kind of a cowboy who doesn't even read Vanity Fair! He pronounces the word "nucular" as he intimidates Libya to drop their program, installs a "Star Wars" global anti-missile defense system and scoffs at the stupid ABM farce despite the European tantrums and drags the Russians along, neutralizes the danger of Pakistani madmen and India based Dell-outsourced system engineers lobbing nuclear duds at each others cattle. But ... he says "nucular"! He didn't know Musharraf's name in the Primary! Sure, he convinced Musharraf to confront his terrorist adversaries, purge his security mobsters and ally with the Great Satan in the fight against international terrorism!!! But that frat boy moron Bush sure didn't know his future friend, partner and confidante's name in the New Hampshire primary!! All Bush does is lead. All he does is create win-wins for our allies. All he does is secure the world from Islamist hell monsters who want to kill the World. And, he elicits the imperiled, politically and personally at risk leaders of the United Kingdom, Poland, Pakistan, Israel, the Phillippenes, Indonesia, Italy, Jordan, Spain and Australia to step up, early and often, as on the record partners in the quest for civilization. The Russians, Saudis, Egyptians, Indians and Emirates are working with us incognito, guarantee.

But he can't pronounce a Burmese name. The Burmese can't even figure out their names. Bush'll just give the visiting President a nickname ... "Banjamalou Pangkrptorou" ... "Hey Banjo!"

He's doing that all as we speak. The uber Lefties on DU think he's stupid and a tool of Karl Rove, Don Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz. The uber Righties on FR think he's stupid and a tool of Karl Rove, Colin Powell and Paul Wolfowitz.

Everyone in this Administration reports to George W. Bush.* They execute HIS directives. They are empowered managers who can make mistakes and win great successes in their duty. Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Karl Rove, Tom Ridge, John Ashcroft and Don Rumsfeld work for George W. Bush. He is their boss. He sets the agenda. He has the final say.

Watching the smug Dandies of the left and paleo right prance about while being deconstructed by moron Bush is like watching a Columbo episode. Or watching the perky gals from the afternoon shift at Deja Vu play chess against Garry Kasparov.

If people love Bush bashing, they would love it here on FreeRepublic. It is taking over this website.

It seems that much of the country is reserving their most powerful emotions, either love or hate, for George W. Bush.

That is not true at all, but its not the first time I have heard this. It is in fact the left who gets out of bed in the morning hating-Bush and hating-America. Their hatred is so deep and seething that they view the rest of the country as having the same emotions as themselves. That view is distrorted as most people have quite a pleasant view of the President, but don't rage on like the left.

Hmm... a liberal who actually makes observations and applies analysis to his beliefs. Now, there's an endangered species! Here's to hoping he makes the switch soon.

(What's the old adage? Those who do not lean liberal before they turn age 30 have no heart, and those who do not lean conservative after 30 have no brains?)
