I am not a republican but I am shocked by what I read and hear in the media. You guys did the same thing with Clinton. In France, Mitterant who was president for 14 years, had a daughter out-of-wedlocks. Many knew about it for years but no scandal. You can dissent of course but why all that savagery.

The Bush Supporter has morphed into
a bizarre new creature as well getting
further and further from reality.
They are terrified, and it is palpable.
They are listening to Prezl and his minions speak
of a world that is not this solid one - we all live in -
but a make-believe one that they want desperately.
The Dubya believers have responded to their phobiae
and the fear mongering of the Bushites for so long that
the reality of Cheney and his group is not registering.
It is like watching the chimp on the
Nature Channel whose infant has died,
and she still carries it around, nurturing its
limp lifeless body, unable to accept the obvious .

Tradition . Goes back to the begining . Might be our favorite sport . This particular president invites it more than most . Almost every time he speaks , he provides something of comedic value . Even he realizes it, and makes jokes about it .
Did you catch his recent visit to Australia? Tried to help his good friend , John Howard, at a campaign stop. (Pity Mr. Howard!) Kept saying what good work the "Austrian"(sic) troops are doing in Iraq, and how much we appreciate the help of the "Austrian " troops . =)))) He does know the word "Australian". I know this, because while in South America , he repeatedly referred to Argentina as " Australia ". =))))))) Then there's all the Orwellian statements denying reality ...... don't get me started . ;D Suggest you watch The Colbert Report & The Daily Show , on comedycentral.com , if you wish to understand it , or just enjoy a good laugh . Have fun! ;D

Political debate is good. Americans seem to be at each others throat. If there is a real threat to this country we stand shoulder to shoulder, but Americans must not take too long to decide what that threat is.
There's a problem though, there are those who are attempting to set us against each other, like George Soros and Rupert Murdoch. We must resist.
You may be right--to an outsider the constant debating does seem rude and crude, but I think this time, especially during this administration we have a valid reason to voice our objections when we don't like what is going on. Democracy is messy.

Because of all the savagery. Have you any idea how many people we are murdering every single day! Or how many body bags are coming home.
Republicans hate Clinton as he has been the best president in 40 years. You can't say that about any Republican:Nixon (Cut and ran from Vietnam, Whitewater), Reagan (selling missiles to Iran, Iran/Contra, Cut and ran from Lebanon after 242 of our Marines were killed) and Bush! No need to go into his crimes as they are still being committed, though he was selling fighter parts, F-14, to Iran!!!

1. Because we can.
2. Because he has given us little to respect him for.
3. Because he is an embarrassment.
4. Because in France, I guarantee people talked, but between themselves. Here, we discuss publicly.
5. Because out of a country of millions, the most advanced, the "leaders of the free world", he is the best we could do (seriously people, we CAN DO BETTER!!!)

I could care less about someone's sexual peccadilloes as long as it doesn't interfere with his work. As far as our current president, I'm sorry but he is stupid. He has the lowest IQ of any president since IQ's were recorded. He has a master's degree and still can't speak proper English. And he often makes statements that are total nonsense. A few days ago he referred to Nelson Mandela as being dead!
But truth to tell, savaging our politicians is one of America's favorite bloodsports and will continue no matter who is president or what they are doing.

It's called freedom of speech. My assessment of Bush through his time in and and out of office, is that he is an idiot. He doesn't have the qualities i need from a President, and i have just enough freedom to voice my disdain.

Respect for any official has seemingly gone by the wayside as people have become more frustrated and delusioned by those in leadership roles. In the 50's and 60's bad mouthing a president in a group scenario was unheard of. Eisenhower brought us through WWII, and Roosevelt had done much for the country through his social programs. The disrespect shown people in higher places and parents has become a cancer on our society. Apparently kids have no boundaries.

In Japan we tend to paying more respect than due.
As we expect that somebody tending to ridicule hisself,
complies with the courtesy of not going public altogether.
