I used Rush, Rove and Bush on this issue regarding DU. The example was to express that everything is hate driven there and they will say the same thing about Rush, Rove or even the President because they hate them.
They are stuck on stupid and IMO will be running on how they hate Bush in 2008 when he isn't even on the ticket.
Never a good starting position to win an election. Hate only breeds more hate and doesn't necessarily win elections, does it?
