I know many who are incenced about the illegal alient amnesty.

I don't personally know anybody who's angry about it. And the polls show it's not a very important issue, the Johnny One Notes on FR not withstanding.

"There are people who just really, really hate this person."

That's because he's been so darn effective. This "dunce" beats their best every time. They can't stand it.

Maria Yurasek says she'd vote for a dog if it could beat President Bush.

I think she was misquoted. What she actually said was, "I'd beat a dog if I could get it to vote against President Bush."

Good catch! This is like a catch FReeper ambrose made where the AP quoted a "lifelong Republican" in one article, and shortly thereafter they quoted the same guy, calling him a "lifelong Independent" in another article. LOL!

If we do want to fix the illegal alien problem, who do we vote for?

Single issue voter? That's kinda narrow, aint' it?

This is attempting to generat a story. How many reporters want Bush to loose? How many of those are not above created a story?

Will there be a story about Democrats who voted for Gore who are going to vote for Bush? So far only two. One about Ed Kotch, former mayor of NY, and Zell Miller, Democrat Senator.

But the focus is not on supporthing kerry, it is focused on hating bush. Hating Bush as the reason the democrat party is dying. Hating Bush as the reason the public will not support homosexual marriage. Hating Bush as the reason the public can't understand governemnt taxes are good for all.

The stand for nothing but hate. There is no reason to vote for a democrat. If you can sustain irrational hatred for your entire life, they will vote democrat because any think else means they are wrong in their wrold view. (newsflash to demcrats, the USSR is dead. Carter was fired.)

Ambrose's thread was great!

I remember during the impeachment there were a lot of stories about "unhappy republicans"- especially in the LATimes.
We use to tear those stories up. The people were never republican contributors and sometimes were listed on the FEC site as democrat contributors. I think Larry Rockerfeller was one they used to quote a lot- a real lefty, a Nader supporter I believe.

Sigh, all those LATimes threads are gone now of course. I wonder if the NYTimes and the AP will do like the LATimes did and sue to make us stop reporting their lies.

Perhaps with the people that elected him for 2 terms?

You are 100% right, they hate him because he is an man of action. They are only interested in using government to punish the successful. They are pure haters and they hide behind the filthy veil of compassion.

Not just hatred but venom. I know one lawyer who is unseemly vocal in his dislike. You would think the man killed his dog. He is a lifelong democrat and he sees bush as a direct threat to democracy. (?) Anecdotal, true. But do not underestimate the amount of hate democrats have pent up.

These reporters are not above anything or doing anything. If you think the butterfly ballot stories were comical, (seriously bringing out a rocket scientist who did not get it?) This next election is going to be molten lava hatred.

That's because tort reform has always been a pet cause of the President. And that threatens the lawyers' gravy train.

From the atricle:

Some of the anger at Bush stretches back to his 2000 election, when the president lost the popular vote but took the majority of electoral votes after the Supreme Court stopped a (second, third, fourth, however many it took for Gore to win) recount in Florida.

I took a woman who supports Bush but has never been active in politics and knows little about the process to a Bush-Cheney regional training session. She scanned the list of possible volunteer activites and found phone bank.ID GOTV and asked me what it was. I explained and her eyes lit up. "I can do that! I am a people person!". She has signed up 3 new Republicans for Bush so far: one calls himself an independant and one is a life-long Dem who cannot stand Kerry. The other has no idea what they are, but supports the POTUS. She is working on another person who has never voted, ever.

Her message is:"This is too important to screw around with. We have to vote and we have to vote for the President or we will lose everything. We can argue over the rest of it after the election."

I have described this session on other threads: February 15 in SW Wisconsin, a Monday night at 6:30. We got there at 6:20 and the line was out the entrance door. They had to open up the back of the meeting room and order more cookies. They had been expecting party chairs and chairmen. They easily had close to 200 people there. It was packed and some people were sitting in clusters to the side on chairs, but not at tables. There was excitement in the buzz of voices (I have done a lot of trade shows and it was the high energy sort of buzz that means that business is being done). Everyone listened intently as the training went forward. They were focused and serious. The presenters were people one step away from Mehlman (sp) and Rove and they were professional, enthusiastic w/o being fake and very approachable.

La Crosse went for Gore in 2000. This is a Blue area of Wisconsin. This was wonderful and bodes well for the campaign and election.

BTW, they have begun the phone banks and voter ID here. One extremely Green county already has over its quota of campaign workers and one area in the NE corner wasn't yet up and running, but that was a week ago.

seems to me it's all pretty quiet compared to the runup to the Iraq war.

In an hour and a half we are having dinner at the home of two former Gore or Nader voters who have been supportive of GWB since 911. One is a PhD professional and his wife is a former business woman (retired). They are wonderfully articulate LTE writers. They have been standing up for the adminstration for 2 1/2 years, often w/negative social results. They want to talk politics and get some TPs for a letter writing campaign. I do believe their oldest will be 18 by the election, but I am not positive.

I hear these sorts of stories all the time. There are quiet and steadfast Bush supporters out there, just waiting to get to the polls.

Reform has been "at issue" for 30 years. It has always been the talk. Various tort reforms have been in place.

This hatred has nothing to do with tort reform. It is a hatred that goes to the core of their "great society" existence. It goes to the validation of the hippie 60's. It goes to the validation for supporthing nuclear freezes and opposing "star wars" (SDI), it goes to voting for clinton twice and supporting him in his perjury, and it goes to loosing in 2000. The whole democrat party lines are melting like the wicked witch.

This is why these BS PR stories are out to try and prop up the Democrat Party. This is why FR is being targetted by trolls. They are dying and they know it.
