I'm always deeply mystified by the Bush hate. He's one of the few Republicans that spoke out against the Clinton impeachment and to me is the most self-effacing, reaching-out-to-the other-side personality that we've had in the White House in my lifetime (and I'm old). I just don't get it. He invites Kennedy to the White House on day one and Teddy can't wait to call him the devil.. Wierd people.
Our family has also pondered the deep hatred for Pres. Bush- people hate him without reason. I believe spiritual warfare is one factor- I know many won't agree but I will hold firm to this belief.
It was the tax cuts. That whole tax cuts for the rich crap that so many people buy into.
