"Middle America shouted its impatience. It wasn't that it so liked George Bush, more that it was so tired of Bush's critics."
Oh Good Grief. Here's another one who doesn't get it. I could care less and certainly don't listen to celebrities with less education, experience, and knowledge than I.
I LIKE GWB. I approve of his worldview and his tactics. I believe that he is taking the world on a journey that will free it from not only the facism that pervades Islam, but also wrenching the world back from the brink of socialism and Marxist ideology.

Well said!
History repeating itself. The silent majority vs. the chattering classes!
Dear OpusatFR,

The column generalizes, and like all good generalizations, it isn't true in every specific case. I like W, too. And this may be the weakest part of the column.
Nonetheless, there are a lot of things that President Bush has done that have given me pause. No Child Left Behind Act. Increased spending on NEA. McCain-Feingold. Immigration policy. Compromise on embryonic stem cell research.
We could go on. There are plenty of reasons why conservatives might be a little uneasy with W. And the truth is, a lot of mushy-middle Americans are uneasy with him, too. But many politically-moderate folks are squishy on George for the same reasons why conservatives stuck with him. I'm 100% behind the war on terror, the war in Afaghanistan, the war in Iraq. I look forward to lower taxes, permanent tax cuts, Social Security reform, Federal Marriage Amendment, school choice, etc.
But a lot of mushy-middle Americans are scared by some of these very same things, and are comforted by the very things that upset conservatives. The support President Bush enjoys is from a coalition of conservatives and moderates that in many ways are very much in tension with each other. He has presided over, and expanded, that coalition successfully, but not always with an abundance of grace.
As much as I vote FOR George W. Bush, I was also pretty much an ABK voter, as well: Anybody But Kerry. I think that this author picks up on that.

These people are unbelievably naive or something to that effect.
Of course people LIKE Bush, that's why he won.
The left is getting MORE delusional as time passes. It's going to be really hard for mainstream, sane dems to distance themselves from this lot of losers the longer they are willing to associate with them.
Good riddance dipstix!
"I believe that he is... also wrenching the world back from the brink of socialism and Marxist ideology."
Exactly the REAL reason they hate Bush so much. You know they don't give a damn about the Iraqi's, or civilian casualties, or the troops, or the economy(they got theirs already!), or why France hates us. Hell, they hate us themselves.
GW is rolling back the corners of the socialist encroachment, and that is a sin they will never forgive.

Thanks. Saves me saying it. And God bless em' for their numbers, now I pray for their true enlightenment. They're on the path. It's a "positive deal"...
On the other hand, my vote was also an imperative to Hollywood, Liberals, Academia, and other assorted Leftists without a moral compass..."SHUT UP!"
