I believe most of the public can see the irrational hatred for what it is and will retaliate against the Dems with their votes.
What do you think?

The backlash has already begun. Beating the hate drum so loudly and incessantly, and so early in the campaign, has done nothing except alienate swing voters. They want action, not hate.

The far left's hatred for Bush is no more the downfall of the Dems than the far right's hatred of Clinton was the downfall of the Republicans. Bush has done more damage to his own party than the Clintons ever could. You can believe whatever you want to believe, but their is hatred on both ends of the spectrum as proven every day in YA! with the far-right wingers consistently bringing up Clinton though it has now been 7 years since he was in office.

It is far too early to predict what will happen with the elections. We haven't even gotten to the primaries and figured out who the contenders will actually be on the final ticket.
And I believe your name and your question together prove all you wanted to do with your posting is just bash libs and Dems. You probably don't care about anyone else's opinion about this topic unless it matches yours exactly.

Like Who Cares said. This will unite the Dems and they will more than likely win the white house.

As much as you probably wish it to be so, it isn't going to happen.
Most of the Independents (40% of voters) and liberal Republicans have turned on Bush & Co. as well.
Don't get upset at all the negative talk toward Bush & Co. They dug their own grave by invading Iraq, ignoring domestic issues (eg: Katrina), and generally being unconcerned about public opinion.

The far-left? You mean like Jello Biafra, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein and Sister Souljah?
Just what the hell do they have to do with the Democratic party? Most of them HATE democrats just as much as the Christian Coalition does.

Well, if voters have learned anything from the 2006 congressional election, yes it will.
I'm still a little cynical, tho. Neither party has anyone of any great substance.

I believe that almost 70% of the country have the same "irrational" hatred for being duped and lied too and controlled and misled. So who's in the minority??

Not so much. Not seeing it as irrational...his Presidency is marked by incompetence and the volume of lies about Iraq have been noticed.
He is a lame duck. Republicans invoke his support at their peril at election time.

Sorry, I think you're way off. The far left hate's Bush, yes... but the moderate voting population is put off by the quagmire in Iraq. That is what will cause people to not vote Republican.

No but I don't think it helps their cause. I think George has done in the Republican party all by himself and the Republican candidates that back him are doing the same. Being radical never helps anyone. I think most people are turned off by that. Like your avatar.
