Good post ... this whole thing is depressing me.

I weary of the demonization of President Bush by some posters ... and the unwillingness of some to think seriously about what it means to have Democrats restored to power.

But I'm also tired of Bush loyalists tossing labels like whack job, nut ball, Donner Party, and other epithets at patriotic, conservative Americans.

They are doing the President's cause no favors.

In fact, they are likely driving more people away from the GOP than the "unappeasables" they rail against.

Indeed they are. They're no friends of a unified and motivated Republican coalition.

Which makes for some interesting questions about their true nature, don't it...

You phrased that as though a Bush "loyalist" is separate from a "patriotic" conservative. I think you may want to rethink your admonition.
