More commentary on Bush-haters. This is the stuff the AP lives for.

[dr_who_2]

You'll never see an AP article about what the man on the street thinks about the AP.

[Stu Cohen]

It's true. I know many who are incenced about the illegal alient amnesty.

He lost much support there. It is just a fact. We can attack the source, or encourage our candidates to change their positions.

[Tahts-a-dats-ago]

Well, that settles it; 3 idiots are mad at Bush. The election is over. (Sarcasim off)

[MegaSilver]

"I've never seen a Democratic Party more unified and more focused, and the anger helps do just that," said GOP pollster Frank Luntz. "The intensity level is just so high. They're using four-letter words to describe him."

They're children.

In Washington state, Maria Yurasek says she'd vote for a dog if it could beat President Bush.

This old woman used to live in the south.

She'd vote for a "yellow" dog.

She should be happy.

There are several out there on the Democrat primary ballots!

[Hildy]

They're polling Democratic primary voters...what do you expect them to say. Hey, I said worse about Clinton back then.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

"I was a strong supporter of Bush in 2000 BUT...."

"I'm a life-long conservative Republican BUT..."

"I served in the military and supported Bush in 2000 BUT..."

"I was behind the President after 9/11 BUT...."

Could it be that the place that they live affords the lifestyle they are ashamed of and GWB does not uphold a sinful lifestyle ?

Shame and sin goes a long way in how a person will feel about who is in charge and they would never admit they are living a sinful life !

[optimistically_conservative]

"Anger is not necessarily a productive emotion when it comes to politics," Luntz said. "The anger against Bill Clinton was so fierce and over the top that it helped him in 1996 and then again during the impeachment in 1998. People got more angry at those yelling at the president than at the president himself. You could easily see the same thing happening here."

Yep.

[Schattie]

The last paragraph is very insightful. Anger will lose this election, not win it.

[jwalsh07]

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. And third, he's a Texan. When you add all of those things up, that invokes pretty much every symbol of the cultural wars."

In other words they don't simply hate Bush, they hate all of us who are conservative Christians. It is something worth noting. Forewarned is, after all, forearmed.

[Reagan Man]

The longer the Demlibrats are out of power, the more desperate they get. This Prez campaign will be another example of liberal outrage, as in crying, whining and bitching. These lefties are an ugly lot!

[rhombus]

Here is my favorite quote:

"A Bush opponent can vote against the president only once in November, no matter how intense the anger. So does it matter how much voters dislike him, if these are people who would have voted against him anyway?"

Hahahaha - they can shove a bunch of punch ballots into a single machine and then get a judge to put the law aside to divine the intent of a bunch of bent chads that only dimpled. The law don't count if you're on the side of "good" versus "evil" Bush Republicans.

[dalebert]

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

[NittanyLion]

I have two observations:

1. The presence of this article as well as a similar NYT article is obviously no coincidence. The new leftist talking point apparently consists of claiming there's a lot of hate out there for Bush, including among those who previously voted for him - and the implication is more votes for Kerry or Edwards. That's patently false: Any dislike of the president's policy will more likely suppress turnout, but no conservative will vote for Kerry instead.

2. Folks who pointed to the fact that the Democrat Party was on the verge of collapse have been proven wrong. Regardless of the AP/NYT's motivation for printing these articles, they do illustrate the larger point that this country is divided and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Politically naive people in FR are up in arms about one issue or another steering them away from voting for Bush in the upcoming elections, they are being led away from the GOP by politically astute people disguising themselves as "true conservatives" and posting in this forum.

I am giving you at least six solid reasons why it is imperative to stay focused in this upcoming election and not allow a Democrat back in the White House to run as an incumbent in 2008.

William H. Rehnquist, born: October 1, 1924...79 years old.

John Paul Stevens, born: April 20, 1920...83 years old.

Sandra Day O'Connor, born: March 26, 1930...73 years old.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, born: March 15, 1933...70 years old.

Antonin Scalia, born: March 11, 1936...67 years old.

Anthony M. Kennedy, born: July 23, 1936...67 years old.

Stephen G. Breyer, born: August 15, 1938...65 years old.

David Hackett Souter, born: September 17, 1939...64 years old.

Clarence Thomas, born: June 23, 1948...55 years old.

We are electing the president who will replace at least three Justices in the next four years. Whoever is elected in 2008 will quite possibly replace three more.

[MoodyBlu]

Why did you excert the article? I haven't read all the way down to see if the full article is posted. The excerpts anymore are tiresome. Am I the only one to feel this way?

Unfortunately, I believe this AP article does represent a growing hatred of Bush in the US. It has been actively cultivated and nourished by the extreme Bush hating diatribes continually being repeated by the democrat candidates and their wholly owned media, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, NPR, NY Times, LA Times and most of the rest of the large national press dailies. It is non-stop Bush bashing that has got the people in a frenzy to be rid of Bush. Last week, I returned from a three week trip to AZ, NM and Texas. In all that time I never heard one word of support for Bush, even from so-called republicans. They are angry about the way the war in Iraq seems to have no ending, that our nation has been turned into stop and search wherever they go: public buildings, an airports, near a public utility, etc. but nothing seems to be done about deporting those among us who would do us harm and they are also concerned about continuing illegal immigration and the economy. The fact that the dems would make an even bigger mess on these issues does not register. They are not happy and they want Bush to pay.
The fact that republicans and conservatives do not come to Bush's defense does not help matters. Unless things change rapidly, this president will not be reelected in November.

[McGavin999]

So how is AP going to explain it when Bush wins again?

[Monty22]

It's 1992 all over again.
