Unfortuantely , I don't think they do. The people that need to realize this are those democrat voters (example in the Midwest or South) who fly thier flags and support the troops. The "muh daddy, grand-daddy and great grand-daddy voted democrat so I do too" crowd. They think the people in charge of the dems are like Roosevlt, Truman, and JFK. Someone needs to wake them up and tell them "the democratic party is not in Kansas anymore Toto".
Also, I would hope that President Bush and the pubbies are aware of who they're up against. It is always best to "KNOW" your enemy. These people are way beyond disgruntled citizens. They have an agenda. I would hope President Bush keeps this in the back of his mind when he's dealing with them, and trying to have a "new tone" in Washington. They will NEVER give him the same courtesy.
A side note: It's just amazing to me, that everytime Ann Coulter releases a book, the dems come out wailing about how wrong she is and then they turn around and prove her exactly right.
I discussed this very fact with a 70ish Medical Doctor, last night. (I think he is Jewish, and originally from the East coast. Now in Orange County, CA. He agreed wholeheartedly with the italicized idea, above. (He further opined that HMOs have ruined medical care.)
BUMP!
