What I don't understand is it is his own party that got him and the rest of us into that war.

I'm curious about why he came to hate the Republicans so much, now culminating in his obviously rabidly hatred towards Bush. I don't think he is capable of saying one nice thing about Bush no matter what. Bush, on the other hand, said Kerry's service was honorable and noble or whatever.

Something runs deep here. What is his hatred really about?

I don't want to get into how much of a communist sympathizer he may or may not have been. His lifestyle is the antithesis of communism.

The only communists who had anything, and it wasn't much by our standards, were the top guys. The rest were crammed into apartment blocks and had to stand in line just for bread, never mind meat and the other stuff.

Did his family harbor some deep-seated hatred of something?

I'm just curious. Bush, whatever faults he may possess, does not come across as being hateful, except toward Saddam and the terrorists.

The only reason I can think of is no doubt shallow and stupid to most...but I believe the republican and democrats seem to operate like a dysfunctional family. The Republcians represent the parents in this family-protective, fully grown-up, shocked at the behavior of their children (the democrats), and as parents, present a more dignified and thoughtful demeanor and are less willing to do anything to win, understanding that the route to the win dictates the value of the win.

The democrats-the children-are not yet governed by rules of ethical and moral behavior-they are spoiled because somewhere along the line-the parents were quiet when they should have been noisy.

The democrats use any means to win, do not understand the foundations of moral and ethical rules of law, rebell against those rules, are subject to the whims of friends that give them cookie money in return for a loyalty to nefarious and often down right un-American objectives, and perhaps, worst of all, though these children see what their parents believe in, and on some level know it is good, they cannot resist the temptation to to acquaint themselves with the more outrageous, 'fun' way of doing things, shock value appeals to them and good character is boring....down right 'parental'.

These children, even grown up age-wise now (to about teenage level), are often in positions of power, but are still mental midgets in the ethical, moral and visionary departments.

Stuck in the 60's teenage mentality, and love to call everyone stupid but themselves. As all teenagers do.

It used to be democrats and republicans differed in the means to achieve equally worthy goals in most cases. Now, they differ in three deep ways- they do not care about good character, in once held noble objectives and the means of attaining said objectives has become a constant free for all for them. Making every thing difficult to bridge.
