Anger against Bush growing ..?

Really....?

Or is it that the "middle" of the Democratic Party, in recent years, has grown
so far left of the middle of the political spectrum that political anger/furor, normally
present in a campaign, seems to exaggerate the difference between liberal and
conservative.

And could it also be fueled by the impression/presence of an ultra left, tall, skinny twin
of Ted Kennedy in the form of John Kerry, in both ideology and voting record.

This supposed anger/hate of Bush can only be expected to become stronger, by
the few, in the weeks/months ahead as the Republicans START to compaign.

Maria Yurasek says she'd vote for a dog if it could beat President Bush.

Well I think she describes Kerry quite accurately there. Happy

Fully a quarter of Americans - mostly Democrats - tell pollsters they have a very unfavorable opinion of the president, more than double the number from last April. When only Democrats are polled, more than half report they feel that way.


Notice how the reporter studiously avoided a comparrison of similar polls 8 years ago as Clinton was readying for his second run?

Also one wonders about that last sentence quoted above in view of:
"Further, in exit polls conducted during Democratic primaries, a sizable chunk of voters have been describing themselves as not just dissatisfied with Bush but outright angry - 51 percent in Delaware, 46 percent in Arizona and New Hampshire, 44 percent in Virginia and Wisconsin." as two out of the three are well under 50% (and I don't believe any of those three allow any but registered Democrats to vote).

Hi, Del.

The extra-long link didn't make the rest of your message bleed into the margins!
