i firmly believe there is a part of all of us that somehow screws up on purpose for reasons i cannot imagine -- i'm sure it has happened to most of us at one time or another.
self-guilt and a lot of stupid behaviour is a direct outcome of this, and the demonrats and many America haters have a really bad case of it...
I agree that we all suffer from this ego sickness in varying degree. I think it acute of you to see this and to see its application to liberal politics:

I would say that Reagan suffered from it very little and Nixon a lot. Clinton was utterly and ceaselessly at war within himself over this ego principle, propelling him to failure and it explains the great squandering of his undeniable genius. Reagan was "centered" that is, "surrendered" and content within himself. Nixon was eternally battling and slaying his ego only to see it spring like Phoenix full blown. But Clinton's whole existence, his very corporal body, is and was nothing but a life support system for his ego.
So, Mojowire, I say that you and I are very nearly in accord when you observe:
My comment to rabid Bush-haters is to tell them that their feelings are simply a reflection of their own soul which they are projecting onto an undeserving person due to their own feelings of inadequacy.
If the Bush haters only knew what a window to their souls they have opened and what an ugly prospect they have revealed. But I would say that their problem is not that they feel inadequate, but rather that they would be God and that condition is a foretaste of Hell by any definition.
Small wonder that Reagan lies mourned by all of America while Clinton winges because he is denied the center stage at the funeral.
