It’s not ideological, because Bush, unlike Reagan, is not noted for his “vision.” Nor is it corruption. This administration hasn’t been hit with a raft of subpoenas or trials as was the Clinton administration.
Perhaps the hatred is a reflection of frustration — frustration by the libs that their message isn’t very attractive to voters.
I don’t hate Bush. I just think he’s the worst “repbulican/conservative” president we’ve had in my lifetime.
And, this is undeniable proof that anyone believing this tripe is suffering from BDS. The reason is simple and is as old as the Republic itself. This notion that the 2000 election was "stolen" from Owlgore proves that they are not remotely intellectual at all, but rather morons who have neither read, nor understand the United States Constitution. Presidents are not elected by popular vote in this country. Anyone in the Democrat Party who thinks the 2000 election was "stolen" from Owlgore should read Article 2, Sections 1-4.
“(The one election that I know of that was stolen in U.S. presidential history was 1960, when JFK stole the election by fraud in Illinois — and also probably Texas — from Nixon.)”
Yes, and it was my first presidential vote. For Nixon, naturally.
Kennedy didn't steal the election. He would up with 303 electoral votes. If Nixon had won in Illinois then Kennedy would still have had 276 electoral votes to Nixon's 246, more than enough to win. And Kennedy won Texas by 55,000 votes and 2 percentage points.
No, it is a tactic fomented and support by the Progressives to do exactly as Berkowitz says - blind one to the arguments of conservatives. It is hate substituted for thought.
To be sure, GW has not thrilled me on many fronts, but he is the CINC and we are at war with an ideology that will burn the leftists haters first should they win.
It really is a disgusting anathema.
“Perhaps the hatred is a reflection of frustration — frustration by the libs that their message isn’t very attractive to voters.”
Oh, but it is. The 2000 election saw half of the voters cast their ballot for Gore, because he promised to steal from the other half for them. Don’t discount the lure of kleptomania.
Democrats told me (well before 2000) that JFK stole the 1960 election. They were not ashamed, much less outraged. For that reason, the “outrage” over the 2000 election, the readiness for outrage in 2004, and even the Diebold scare in a midterm election, always struck me as inconsistent and somewhat phony. I think a new generation of Democrats thought they were entitled to steal an election in 2000, just as they believed their fathers had in 1960.
Liberals hate GWB because he goes to church.
But also because the libs don't have the opportunity to implement what they know is best for the voters.
Yep - and they feel abandoned. Abandonment reactions can be really dangerous.
It’s rooted in how Bush talks, his speaking style infers he is dumb, ergo the foundation of BDS. Happens to a lot of southerners. Nothing could be farther from the truth, he beats the donks like a drum — WHICH JUST DRIVES THEM TOTALLY NUTS.
If President Bush is “so stupid, “ what does that make Bush-haters? (Hint: really, REALLY, REALLY stupid....)
He beat them in two presidential elections, and has run circles around the Dimwit-led congress. And now we’re winning in Iraq.
Now the Bush-haters are REALLY mad. LOL
It’s a projection of their hatred for US, and the frustration they feel that they aren’t getting their way so much any more. Also that they’re getting old.
