"I tell you, this is not, what I'm going to say is not an essay on why I like Howard Dean, but it's, I would say this is why I think that Howard Dean is a hit at this point, and that is he seems to be the first Democrat who's found a way to bring new people into the process here. He's found a new kind of participatory politics. In this television age, where we kind of took the campaigns out of the community and put them on television and made television kind of a passive event, Howard Dean has gone into the Internet and begun to bring people together."

Hey Bob Schieffer! Why not just drop your completely phony attempt at pretending to be unbiased and drop to your knees to plant a big juicy kiss on Howard Dean's buttcheeks.

There has rarely been a president more willing to accomodate the opposition than Bush yet this is STILL not good enough for the lamestream press who label him as "divisive" while the nutty AND divisive Dean is labeled a "uniter." What universe do these lamestream types exist on? Certainly not ours.

Of course, your assumption is that someone, anyone, watches the show...about the only reason to tune in the ABC program is to see Geroge Will's facial expressions..he looks like he's sucking lemons....I bet if Fox would give Will his own Sunday show...he'd walk in a second..

Baghdad Bob is correct, Dean has united all the kooks, loons and crazies on the nut fringe left.

Moran soon repeated his theme: "This President on the world stage. When he was elected, I think few would have expected him to be, within three years, the dominant figure in the world, a leader that everyone else has to reckon with essentially. And there as well, it's hard to argue with the notion that he is a divisive figure."

Leave it to Moran to tell the truth (dominant figure in the world), then to color it with his broad brush of lies ("divisive figure").

Given his ever present and palatable hatred of the President, a statement like this is no surprise.

Bush "Divisive," But Dean a Uniter Who "Brings People Together" (Media Bias Alert!)

Bush divides the relatively more sane from the wackos. Dean unites disparate wacko groups into a Wackos For Dean movement.

They may as well say that Bush unites people against him and that Dean is divisive for alienating people who support Bush.

In 2004, we have finally, finally reached another election year. As the year unfolds, it will become clear to voters that after four long years of being forced, divided, hammered, and broken, they will have a distinct choice in candidates and the chance to replace the destructive forces of George W. Bush.

I happened to copy this line from another posted article that has since been pulled...when I first read it, I could have sworn it was written about B. Clinton...until I got to the George W. Bush part....(for those of you who read it, did you notice how the writer never referred to GWB as "President GWB?")

So now it begins. It actually began the day of the election in 2000, when these media phoneys knew through their exit polling that PRESIDENT Bush was likely going to win that day, and they moved into their do-or-die mode to steal the election for Al Gore (REMEMBER FLORIDA?!!!) ... and they've not let up since. Well, I say...bring it on! PGWB may not be the best this country has to offer, but by golly-gee, he's a whole lot better than any of those pukes running on the Democrat side. Most definitely the least of all evils we've got to deal with at this time, IMHO.

[E.G.C.]

Media bias bump.

[11th Earl of Mar]

LOL!!!

This is rich.

Dean is having a hard time simply uniting the Democratic Party.

[tkathy]

There are a number of conservative talk show hosts that screech continually about how people hate and loathe Bush. They are playing into the hands of the dims. I personally think W is trusted and liked throughout this country and around the world far more than the loud mouths think.

[ohioWfan]

The reason that Bush divides is that he has moral clarity.

He distinguishes 'good' from 'evil'.........and the evil folks aren't too happy with that.....

Bob Schieffer, Terry Moran......cases in point??

Antiwar = AntiAmerica

[DustyMoment]

This is not going to be a popular thing to say on this thread, but consider the fact that Bush appears to be a RINO. He has not only bent over backward to accommodate the leftists and try to work with them, he has allowed them to set his agenda.

Consider the following:
1) TSA
2) Dept. of Homeland Security
3) Steel Tariffs
4) Agriculture Funding Bill
5) Education Bill
6) Campaign Finance Reform (McCain-Feingold)
7) Unfunded Medicare prescription entitlement
8) Soft (VERY soft) on illegal immigration
9) Has FAILED to lift a finger to support any of his judicial nominees or end the stupid filibusters
10) Retreated on his campaign promise to privatize a portion of Social Security

These issues are NOT hallmarks of a conservative. When you consider all of these issues as a whole, weighed against his tax cuts and the War on Terror, the scales are heavily tilted toward the policies and agenda of the left.

GWB divisive? Possibly. I am deciding whether or not I want to cast my vote for him again next year. I won't support any Dem, but I may either leave the President box blank or vote for a Libertarian or Constitutional Party candidate - someone who isn't a RINO like Bush.

[OldFriend]

The left is simply expanding on the DNC talking point about how the President promised a new tone but didn't deliver.

Kind of hilarious when you think about it....all the hate rhetoric coming from the left is 'compassionate' and the President is evil,nazi, hateful, liar!

[SquirrelKing]

Yawn. This is the same pile that has been shoveled up since 2000 and beyond.

[TedsGarage]

I think Bush and Dean are both divisive, because both are products of a polarized nominating procedure that attracts only the most hard-core members of each party. Instead of getting one candidate everyone can agree on, we get two candidates who each satisfy half the country, while angering the other half. I thought John McCain would have been the most unifying president to emerge from 2000. Independents and Democrats held him in high regard, but he wasn't far enough to the right for the GOP base. By the same token, Bill Bradley could have erased memories of the Clinton Wars, but he didn't have the support of the Democratic establishment.

[Armed Civilian]

GWB is a polarizer, THANK GOD!!! He has stated if you are not for us you are against us, I believe that has been stated elswhere. That is the kind of polarization that led gadhaffi (How ever you spell it) to open up and say uncle. Those who live in the grey world do not light like the light, it really shows that they are in darkness. Howard dean wants to unite everyone, right, even bring on a not-guilty OBL. Maybe Dean can get him on the ticket, no one else seems to want to be his VP.

[Mo1]

The only ones that Dean has united are the commies in this country ...

oh and a bunch of young college students who in a few years will wake up to reality once they are no longer under the control of their liberal professors

There has rarely been a president more willing to accomodate the opposition than Bush yet this is STILL not good enough for the lamestream press who label him as "divisive" while the nutty AND divisive Dean is labeled a "uniter."

Exactly. Bush is not divisive at all. In fact, no one in 3 years can cite a public attack or negative statement against his political enemies. However, Dean is the king of hate and his angry, vicious attacks are daily.

[Southack]

One of the beautiful things about 2004 is that the *media* is going to get spanked as hard as the losing Democrats.

Bush has 63% national popularity in SPITE of these biased clowns, and more and more blinders will be removed from that remaining 37% after they and their news media reports great "surprise" at Bush's landslide re-election victory in 2004.

Thank you! The lamestream press is a propaganda tool for the Dem left and are only imitating their idol, the liar Bill Clinton.
