WASHINGTON (AP) - In Arizona, Judy Donovan says she feels desperate for a new president. In Tennessee, Robert Wilson says he finds the president revolting. In Washington state, Maria Yurasek says she'd vote for a dog if it could beat President Bush.

It's obvious why you won't say.

Perhaps you'd like to keep it from yourself. I hope so.

[Stu Cohen]

Oh gee, your lying makes you feel superior. That's right out of the textbook.

Well, there you have it folks. That's the most rational dissenting opinion you are going to get.

[cyncooper]

So I have a question. If we do want to fix the illegal alien problem, who do we vote for?

Obviously if you really want to fix it, you vote for President Bush.

[Stu Cohen]

It's obvious why you won't say.

Is it equally obvious why you won't state your opinion? Or does that just apply to me?

Perhaps you'd like to keep it from yourself. I hope so.

Perhaps i'd like to keep it from myself, you hope so?

I don't get it.

[Stu Cohen]

Obviously if you really want to fix it, you vote for President Bush.

You think the "guest worker" program fixes it?

To the far left, Christians are their mortal enemies.

[cyncooper]

Everyone I know is pulling out all stops to re-elect Bush. Even the people who are normally non-political are starting to get really fed up with the lies the media is trying to shove down their throats.

Same here. Those I know are stunned at the media lately. Their handling of the National Guard issue to attack the president has opened a lot of eyes to how liberally biased much of the press is.

[rintense]

All those BUTS means there's a bunch of asses out there.

[the invisib1e hand]

the stuff AP lives for and creates and distorts. and if the left is angry with anyone, it's all of us, not just the President.

[KevinDavis]

Does anyone think the Dems will do anything about the borders?

Hell no!

[gatorbait]

Not too much can be done for such men.

Are they really men?

[Quix]

Hello group . . .

Doesn't anyone else see a correlation between the hostility for Gibson's THE PASSION

and the

hostility for President Bush?

and the

hostility for the rule of law in San Francisco?

Our universities have sown to the wind for decades.

Too many churches have done little better--especially by the examples in the lives of the members . . .

and our politicians have perhaps done worst of all . . .

The Bible speaks of people casting off restraints in our era . . .

it is beginning to appear that there are few restraints left to cast off. People are opently talking about making sex AND MARRIAGE with virtually anything that wiggles the 'law' of the land. People are openly talking about sexual abuse of children as a 'birthright.'

Evil is multiplying like bacteria.

Time to wake up, America!

Long past time.

John McAdams, a political scientist at Marquette University, said resentment of Bush is particularly strong among liberals who already hold three things against him: "First, he's a conservative. Second, he's a Christian.

Liberals : We hate Christians.

[gatorbait]

And if he signs a new AWB bill, or renews the expiring one, he's finished

Well, the way to stop it is to ensure your congressional delegation doesn't help send it up to the President's desk. That's how that works in this Adminstration AND did not in Clinton's and wouldn't in a Kerry adminstration.

They're mice, not men! Worms!

[gatorbait]

Anyone game for a proper fisking of this article?

Let's do it.

[FreeReign]

So I have a question. If we do want to fix the illegal alien problem, who do we vote for?

First, talk to all the liberals who don't like illegal aliens but would never vote for a conservative even if a conservative did "fix the illegal alien problem".

[Patangeles]

It's the TV, stupid, and the liberal press. They are all against Bush. They are fighting to the death, and they are winning, too. Be prepared for a Dem to win the election. They know they had dropped their guard in 2000, but it will NOT happen again. Mark my words.

There is NO way joe sixpack or Jane soccer mom can turn a page or turn on the TV and NOT be infected with anti-Bush rhetoric.

[gatorbait]

You think the "guest worker" program fixes it?

Not totally, but it goes a long way to identifying and tracking them .This problem, this flood , started in 1965. States like California have encouraged it far more than the President has.

Now, if you believe there's a better way, I'd like to hear your concepts. Maybe send them to the point man in Congress on this, Tancredo.

[Stultis]

Hatred doesn't work. In fact, so long as it is partisan in nature, it probably actually helps a President electorally (although it can eventually lead to other problems). Here is a list of all the Presidents I can think of that faced exceptionally high levels of partisan hatred:

1. John Addams
2. Andrew Jackson
3. Abraham Lincoln
4. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
5. Richard Nixon
6. Bill Clinton

Excepting only Addams, all these Presidents were reelected.
