Salon.com, eh? Are they getting their news from moveon.org?





You ought to read some of the quotes in that piece, especially the ones
from GOP Pollster Luntz:

``They really have a head of steam up against Bush,'' said Andrew Kohut,
director of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. He said
the level of political polarization surrounding Bush, the division
between Republicans who favor him and Democrats who don't, exceeds even
that for President Clinton in September 1998 during the impeachment
battle.

Which is precisely why it won't matter. When all was said and done, the
Democrats circled their wagons and protected their man.


Plenty of presidents have generated intense feelings, of course, but
Democrats -- and even some Republicans -- think the phenomenon is
outsized this year.

``I've never seen a Democratic Party more unified and more focused, and
the anger helps do just that,'' said GOP pollster Frank Luntz.

Hate is a powerful motivator...and God knows, the Democrats are the party of
hate and divisiveness. Hell, they almost have a monopoly on it...so it's no
surprise, really, that hate is the emotion that drives them.

``The
intensity level is just so high. They're using four-letter words to
describe him.''

In a recent focus group that Luntz conducted for MSNBC, technicians had
to adjust the volume levels because the Bush-haters were ``so gosh-darn
loud'' they were drowning out the president's supporters, who were more
numerous, Luntz said. ``It was a real problem.''

The Bush supporters "were more numerous". That's all that really matters.
Screaming louder than the other guys gets you nowhere.

Delightful.

You enjoy being associated with a party whose sole platform is "hatred"?
