Will it be possible for demoncrats to set aside their insane hatred for Bush?

Question

and actually try to work together with the rest of the country?

Answer 1

It is both the insane hatred of liberal tree huggers and the insane hatred of right wing nut cases that has caused me to see both political parties as self centered little children that resort to name calling when their personal agenda is put on the back burner. A pox on both your houses.

Answer 2

Having the Democrats and President Bush work together is like both being together on the same baseball team. George is the manager and the Democrats are the players who work together like the players of a championship team. Since Democrats and Republlicans are like the Boston Red Sox (Democrats) and the New York Yankees (Republicans), the both do not get along and their fans do not like one another.

Answer 3

God im so tired of people like you actually believing everything the news talks about. Oh the democrats are ruining everything and are too busy fighting to make a difference. Thats is such bolognia bush is the one not working with us. He said he was going to listen to his advisers and the generals and the newly elected dems. But he went with his old plan of just sending 20000 more troops. We need to stop backing a shite goverment and actually train people that are open minded and not idiotic. How this will ever happen in the middle east is beyond me. I just hope bush knows what he is doing. And i still stupport him but just wish i knew what exactly is going through his head.

Answer 4

Yes, but the only way that will happen is if Bush's popularity rises. So long as his popularity stays this low, there is no way they will even try. They make too much political hay slamming and insulting his every thought, word and deed.

If you are a democrat in Congress right now, the surest way to ensure your re-election is to spend as much time as possible on television insulting the President.

And when you can ensure your re-election with out doing any heavy lifting and trying to implement sound policy or trying to make life better for any Americans, why would you?

Answer 5

There's 8 republicans up for re-election in 2008. They got out from under Cheney's desk and quit drinking the Kool-Aid. Condie just went in front of the Senate Armed Forces committee and got lamb-basted for being a vague, obfuscating, rhetoric relaying mouthpiece. George Bush just put even more of our soldiers at risk, without stating one single achievable objective or a plan B in case things go another direction. Embedding our troops with a Iraqi police force that is over 70% shiite militia screams of incompetence and recants his statements of the past.

So now all our enemies know that this is his last ditch effort for success--they're gearing up now to turn our men and women into cannon fodder once again. 1 Billion more for reconstruction--that'll soothe the Iraqi people right over--another wasted chunk of tax dollars.

Congress is gonna be putting legislation passed by the majority on his desk that he will surely veto. The people, his generals, the ISG, Maliki's gov't, and the Iraqi people themselves want us out. We --through Bush--are the lone ranger's in this proven to be futile escapade. I never voted for Bush, never believed any of his propaganda or lies, and I've wanted him out since Day 1. He's had six years to change my mind, instead he's solidified and unified the American people against him--not just the Democrats.

Answer 6

While it would appear that the questioner is biased, by simply observing the ease with which the Democrats are obtaining support from Republicans for their proposed new legislation, one would have to surmise that the problem was that the Republicans had previously been unwilling to work with Democrats. It isn't insane hatred, but rather extreme disappointment with the actions taken by George W. Bush.

Answer 7

When Bush starts working with the rest of the country.

Answer 8

Sadly, no... It has been their platform for 6 years, and it looks like they'll stick to it through '08. I'm betting that even in 2008, when the President is leaving office, the Dem candidates will stake their candidacy on how much they differ from President Bush and how much they opposed him... They're simply obsessed..

Answer 9

I think the term insane is a bit harsh... however I believe it is their irrational hatred of Bush that will prevent them from working in any sort of bipartisan fashion. Look at how the "first hundred hours" are being dominated by legislation crafted by the DNC and pushing their socialist agenda and bypassing committes.

Answer 10

Sure.
As soon as Bush starts trying to work with the rest of the country instead of doing what he wants with no regard for the effect it has on others like the overindulged spoiled brat that he is.
Oh, and I'm not a Democrat.
