They still believe their own spin on Florida, that Gore really won.
Bush's belief in good and evil. The libs prefer nuance, and the belief that we have to "understand" terrorists. Bush just wants to kill the people who want to kill us. That drives them nuts.
For eight years, they had to defend Clinton's lying. So, when Bush came around, they decided to call everything he said a lie, as a reaction to being put on the defensive for so long. And while their definition of a lie was miniscule with Clinton, they define Bush being mistaken on something as a "lie", they define word slips as "lies", etc.
Bush has been successful, particularly in the War on Terror. They can't stand the fact that he got rid of Saddam, when Clinton did nothing but lob a few missiles at him for eight years. They can't stand it that he's done so much to eradicate Al Qaeda, when all Clinton did was bomb an aspirin factory. And I think they're a little jealous, weirdly enough, that it wasn't Clinton who had to face these challenges. Great presidents get that designation for facing great crisies. Clinton himself knows that he'll never be considered a great president, because of that (I can add a lot of other reasons...)
Power: If Bush wins re-election, it will doom the Dems to being a minority party for at least the next two years, if not four.
