Slog - Comments on Bush Haters http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/04/bush_haters Okay, we're all Bush haters here. No one here but us liberal ducks, quack quack quack. Reading nothing but Americablog, DailyKos, Atrios, and, um, Slog, and other liberal blogs—finally we have a the left-wing echo chamber that can compete with the right-wing echo chamber!—can warp your take on national politics, and give you the impression that everyone out there agrees with you about Bush and the GOP. Bush is dangerous! He's incompetent! He's unpopular! But if everyone agrees with you, why is Bush president? Why is there even a question that Dems will re-take the House and Senate in November...

i have to wonder what will come of it all. we've still got a couple of years with ding dong in the white house and no real strong dem candidate in sight...

I feel no need to resolve this dichotomy, so I'll remain delightfully conflicted.

At one point he came very close to my seat to respond to a question from behind me. We couldn't help but look at each other right in the eye and we both smiled. I hereby take him off my clowns list in my previous post to this thread. John Kerry is indeed a genuine American patriot, and would have been a fine president.
