Is the basis for over the top liberal anger stem from the defeat in the 2000 election?

Answer 1

I really believe you have to go back further than that. It goes back to the rise of talk radio. This is the point where it started to become obvious that liberal policy was falling out of favor with the American people. The funny thing is that it has never really been popular with the average American, but many just did not notice what was happening until after the fact because of under reporting by the dominant mass media of the day. People are more informed now than they were 20 years ago. Most people have at least some grasp of what the issues are and what each side stands for now. The anger is a natural by product of having your ideology rejected and coming to realization that what you believe in is not going to come to pass. In short, liberals were used to having their way for a long time without any tangible dissent. Now that dissent greets them at every turn they do not know how deal with it so it manifests as anger and in some cases hopeless despair.

Answer 2

I've always wondered why not agreeing with Bush makes me a liberal ... it is not only our right to question our leaders it is our DUTY as put forth in the constitution ... oh, that's right, Bush and his supporters don't think the constitution exist ... that explains it all ... NOT!!!!!

I guess you can say it started with the 2000 election because that was not an election it was a coup. As it has become more and more clear that the only thing Bush and his cohorts care about is filling there bank accounts more and more people are seeing the truth of this man. The thing that is the most amazing, and profoundly sad, is that people still support this manic ... they still blindly follow him for no other reason that the fact that he is the president and he knows better than we do. That is the best joke I've ever heard but there are still people out there helping him in his task of destroying our once great nation. If all the BS he's pulled doesn't make you angry then YOU are the ones that should be called traitors because that's what you are.

of course, the photos we see of melting glaciers interior the Antarctic is particularly filmed on a decrease back lot in Hollywood. As for increasing oceans, how ought to they upward push? does not each and every of the water merely spill over the sides of the earth? You understand that some human beings particularly have faith the planet is around do no longer you? P.S. be careful to maintain your eyes closed mutually as you have your head caught interior the sand.

Answer 4

Absolutely yes!
The anger of the libs is so intense for so long over the election being "stolen" by Bush.
If you try to remind libs that after the election was finally called in Florida Gore rounded up a legal "dream team" to try to get the Florida supreme court to overturn the resuls, they cry faul!
No way.! It was gore that took the election to the courts...not Bush.
And the court in florida did overturn the results too!
For about 3 hours...then the US supreme court stepped in and cghanged the ruling. Thats what happened and the stupid libs try to tell you Bush stole the election.
Bush and the supreme court saved the election from being stolen by Al Gore and is ACLU buddies. And the intense hate for Bush you see everyday is, in part, because of the election.
Thanks for asking this question!

Answer 5

Sure, I think that that is a very large part of it.
1) The fact that Gore prevailed in the popular vote, so the Electoral College contradicted the popular vote.
2) The "butterfly ballot," which has many Dems convinced that Gore would have won if that ballot had been printed better -- the theory that a few thousand votes for Pat Buchanan were cast by people who wanted to actually vote for Gore.
3) The hypocrisy of Republicans who decried "judicial activism" by the Florida Supreme Court ... and then turned around and applauded the U.S. Supreme Court's decision, no matter how illogical the Court's ruling is. Two judicial wrongs do not make a constitutional right, as Alan Dershowitz correctly said.

Answer 6

Its not just liberals who are angry. As I recall, conservatives feel pretty strongly about deficit spending budgets and constitutional infringement. A lot of the anger out there is because our government is defying the will of the people. We in America believe that government should have the consent of the people. That is the fundamental basis of democracy. If government acts against the wishes of the majority consistently then people will get angry. Do you think they have no right?
The reason people support a party is because that party has a list of stated goals and concerns that it promises to address. The people who support it have similar goals and concerns. You should not support a party out of loyalty or faith. If they don't address you concerns then you withdraw your support. It doesn't matter if your guy gets elected if he doesn't keep is promises. Some conservatives have forgotten that. They support the republican party because they are faithful. Thats a very dumb reason for supporting a group of politicians.

Answer 7

The not so over the top anger stems from Bush's performance while President, not the fact that he was elected. By now that should be crystal clear, unless you are wearing blinders. It's also sort of cute that you really believe only "liberals" are now opposed to this war and don't approve of Bush's performance. When did 70% of the country become liberals?

Answer 8

Well, the 2000 election sure didn't help the libs, that's for sure.
I Cr 13;8a

Answer 9

It certainly started at that point. The Dems have been claiming they won in 2000 ever since and that the Supreme Court gave the election to Bush.

Answer 10

YES IT WAS. THEY FEEL BUSH SHOULDN'T BE PRESIDENT & AL GORE SHOULD. THEY B*TCH & MOAN ABOUT FLORIDA, BUT HE WAS SUCH A DIP SH*T HE LOST HIS HOME STATE. I REMEMEBER THE NEWTWORKS AS WELL AS CNN, MSNBC, & FOX CALLING THE STATE FOR GORE AS SOON AS THE POLLS CLOSED IN MOST OF THE STATE EXCEPT FOR THE PANHANDLE WHICH IS CENTRAL STANDARD TIME
& PEOPLE THERE WERE WAING TO VOTE. MANY OF THEM LEFT BECAUSE THEY FELT THEIR VOTE WAS MEANINGLESS. THAT WAS VOTER SUPPRESSION. IF THAT HAD NOT HAPPENED BUSH WOULD HAVE WON THE STATE EASILY.
