See, F16, it just proves that your 'lemming' insult is invalid. Maybe you should have asked me what I thought before you used it (erroneously) against me??
In the meantime, the Left is ALWAYS wrong, therfore we shall continue to fight them together.
Excellent!
And have you ever pondered as to why the left HATES President Bush so much?? Do they hate him because he is a 'socialist' just like they are? Do they hate him because he grows the government just like they do?
Or do they hate him because he actually is a conservative (pro-life, pro-defense, pro-military) who is ripping the Dem party to shreds, and destroying any hope they had for a future by his savvy political strategy?
I will posit the view that the left hates Bush even more than they hated Reagan (which they do) because he is accomplishing even more for conservatism than Reagan did.
And I do think that history will back me up on that. I just hope I'm around long enough to see the results of his under the radar policies deeply affect this great country for the good, and move it significantly back to the right.
Now now, OWF. Shall I trade you one "lemming" comment for two "you're on medication" comments?

Interesting questions, but the answers may be even more interesting...
I will posit thusly:
The Left hates Dubya Bush because:
1) His election over Gore was deemed "stolen" and "illegitimate" and stopped liberals' momentum.
2) He is an unabashed man of faith (recall the Jr. Reagan's eulogy comments referring to Bush)
3) Due to Dubya's "political saavy," he has in fact co-opted a number of issues germaine to the Dem's constituency (social programs.) NOT a particularly endearing "strategy" for most "conservatives."
4) They knew America at war would ensure a second term -- again stopping their liberal agenda dead in its tracks.
5) The Left are elitists who "know better" than a "dumb" Dubya Bush.
6) He rallied and inspired the military very efficiently.
All this being said, there is NO WAY GWB is more "conservative" than the Gipper:
1) Dubya is much more globalist.
2) Reagan was far more fiscally responsible (and before you begin citing his raising taxes, remember he had to totally rebuild the military AND economy Jimmy Carter destroyed.) Dubya spends like it's Monopoly money.
3) Reagan was more a sovereignist. Dubya? Not. Border. Illegal Invasion. Pseudo-Amnesty. Minutemen. HUGE ISSUES.
5) Quite frankly, Reagan presided over a most crucial time in American history while setting the standard of "conservatism" for a quarter century.
The man is incomparable.
