In my long life I have never seen so much hate shown towards any president as these Damolcraps express constantly. The MSM also does it bit to contribute to the hate. I don't think Nixon was hated this much.

GWB is probably the most hated President since Lincoln.

I think Bush should do a Delay and go extremely radical(sort of like European prime ministers who demand confidence elections) and actually go before the congress and actually demand an impeachment hearing...right now this very instant! At the same time he should warn that all the books and papers and secret intelligence will come out for his use in his personal defence. All the secrets that all the congress men and senators will be open...all secret intelligence will be open for the public to take a gander at.

And yes Bush should do a mug shot where he smiles very broadly for the camera...!

I think this hate of our President began during the campaign when each candidate running for the Republican nomination was asked who their favorite author was, some said Mark Twain, others named famous authors, Candidate Bush asnwered Jesus Christ. The MSM was flabergasted, the dems snickered behind their hands. The audacity of someone mentioning our Lord as a famous author and a favorite one was beyond their capacity. There the tunnel of hate was begun...

Nixon was hated for decades before he became president, but not at this level.
One of the reasons GWB is so hated is because they lost the House in 94, and thought it was only a matter of time before they regained control. They think THEY belong in power, and can't deal with the thought that perhaps they don't.

Political hatred can damage the recipient, and the country, but backlash is common and the haters are usually damaged more. I once tried to come up with a list of Presidents who experienced unusual levels of vituperation from their opposition:

1. Andy "By God" Jackson
2. Abe Lincoln
3. Nixon
4. Reagan
5. Clinton
6. "Dubya"

Granted that one was assasinated, another shot, and two impeached, but they were ALL re-elected. (However an historian friend of mind claims that the John Adams -- don't remember which one -- should be included, and neither Adams was reelected.)

I agree.
