I wonder if we here at Free Republic owe an apology to all the Hollywood types we have abused over the years for their dislike of George Bush. Since President Bush has fallen out of favor around here, it appears we were just slow to catch on to what they have known all along.
Well, most Hollywood types slam Bush just because they’re expected to, not because of any specific policy difference they could coherently describe.
You’re right. I’ve never heard such bashing as I’ve heard here.
Our dislike of President Bush extends to his policy on immigration and lack of resolve for defending his judicial nominees.
Saying “I hate the sound of his voice” cuts it to the quick. “Can’t stand that man”. Bill Clinton and Al Gore repeatedly lied to her and the rest of America and yet she has more hatred of President Bush.
So we can assume why she hates the sitting President but gave a pass to other Presidents and contenders.
I am angry about the immigration situation, never liked the prescription drug plan, and wish he used his veto pen more in his first term.
THAT BEING SAID, I am not about to jump ship and join the Hollyweird, monday morning QB crowd. The war on Islamofascists and the fight for a free Iraq are the most important issues we have faced since the Cold War and the threat of MAD.
I am not about to go weak-kneed and join the likes of Sedgwick, Baldwin, and O’Donnell. To imply the kooks out on the Left coast are smarter than any average Joe is laughable.
And Kyra's voice on that show is like fingernails on a chalkboard: people who live in glass houses, etc.
But yeah, sometimes people catch something in a politician's persona that rubs them the wrong way, and eventually you have to wonder if they might not have been on to something, even if you voted for that candidate.
So maybe her response isn't wildly different to the response I had to Carter and Clinton, and others had to Johnson and Nixon. And maybe some of her reaction has been borne out by what's happened. So I'll give her that.
But still, it was a gratuitous cheap shot.
Who's this WE, kemosabe? Your comment is just another fine example of the 'madness of crowds'. You're willing to join the hollywierd crowd in their relentless bashing because the President has made you mad.
Why did you support him when he was running for office? He was for Immigration reform and the path to citizenship when he campaigned; he hasn't changed his mind since then. I'm truly amazed at the frenzy that has been whipped up about this, and can't help but wonder who's behind it, egging it on.
