Well put from the conservative view.  Where were people like you all this time.  Bush has not only gone on this failed mission, he has almost voided the Constitution, the Bill of Rights,  he pandered to the Christian Right, he alienated most of the rest of the world, he has alienated anyone inside the country who did not agree with him by suggesting the were on the sides of the terrorists, he has  been the most divisive President I  have ever seen.  By doing all these things, he has given conservatism a bad name, and caused far too many to be more than suspicious of Republicans.  He has not only cost you all this,  he has cost  the country  far more.  It is time to abandon this "your either with us,  or your against us" mantra and go back to this country's strength - we are strong because of the variety of opinion and creative energy of all of us, not just the select few.  It is time to include, not exclude, as we face issues coming our way that will require the very best of all of us.

of course not. the liberal media hate him because he comes from Fox News, which consistently trounces them in the ratings. OF COURSE bush is going to name a conservative to be his spokesman. that said, there is no evidence on the planet that tony snow is a bigot or anything but a straight shooter. bush made a good decision today.

Despite the apparent gains by the Democrats, all support for Bush has not vanished. First of all, he still has a good number of Republicans in his corner. Also, some of the gains made by the Democrats were from Conservative Democrats like Lieberman, Casey. Webb, and Tester. When it comes to certain issues, like the war on terror, don't count Bush out as the Republicans along with the conservative Democrats still may be able to prevent the Liberals from waving the white flag and retreat from Iraq, leaving victory to the terrorists.

It has to be the people who still support him!  You know the old adage "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time".  Well, if some of the people still believe this man is a conservative and a Christian, there is just no cure for that stupidity!

ProfessorAdam ... the love is ALWAYS here for well-thought out, reasoned thought - no matter what side of the aisle you reside.\n\nHowever, when you deal with the constant "I hate GWB because of Iraq ... I hate GWB because of the economy ... I hate GWB because of both elections" statements, it wears a little thin. A lot of people - right and left - do not think for themselves and are merely following an idealogy they have the barest of understanding about.\n\nAs a conservative, I know conservatives and liberals want to achieve the same thing - a prosperous and secure America. The only difference is how we get there.

This is an easy one.  \n\nA) Most Bush bashers are typically fairly liberal.  These type of people generally have a disdain for any republicans or even conservative democrats as it is.  \n\nB) To top it off there has been a MASSIVE investment by extremely rich liberal socialists to start grass roots movements amoung young (and typically very ignorant) Americans.  From 2000 and on young people have been involved in politics at unprecedented levels. \n\nC) Media involvement.  The media outlets all make their money off news for which most Americans agree that news in todays age is primarily negative.  Plain and simple... why would the media (who is typically democratic) report or support positive outlooks of a president who they didn't vote for and don't agree with?  This can be easily identified by the growth of American economy over the past few years.  There was a largely negative outlook from the media outlets on record jobs created and growth in the economy.  While facts were obvious the media still continued to propegate negative impressions.\n\nD) Last but not least - the Iraq war.  While now it is easy to go back and see we probably should not have gone the route of invading Iraq it has recently become a situation that has slapped reality in Americans faces that this is not going to be an easy problem to fix.  Most Americans view the Iraq was as Bush's war even though the majority of high level politicians (democrat and republican) supported the invasion.  Most left wing liberals will say this is because of false information all the while they were privy to the same info as the president.\n\nEither way... I really don't have a problem with Bush bashing or criticizing any other politician however when the rhetoric sounds more like Hugo Chavez comments you start to lose credit with most reasonable Americans.  The other problem with Bush bashing is that GW will soon be out of office for which the exterme liberal left will have to refocus their hatred on someone else.  My guess is they WILL do this to the next prominent republican which will no doubt be premature and expose the obvious.  The OBVIOUS is media bias for negative information (regardless of who it is about) and large finance by extremely left socialist liberals.

I've been to war & lost friends, & I like the guy. What's he ever done to any of you. Why is your rhetoric always so hateful? Are you so bitter as that? Run a moderate already. Swing voters won't vote for a liberal. Conservatives never liked how liberal Bush was, but they wanted to win so compromised on someone that could appeal to the middle. Why is this always so advesarial though? Why can't people have arguments on reason & logic & do so with mutual respect. You can dislike everything about the President, but grow up alreay with the tone & behavior, why do you think you can't break into the rest of the country.

I used to wake up next to a conservative who voted for Bush in 2000. The Patriot Act & Iraqi invasion changed his mind, now I wake up next to a liberal. It's better now.

Conservatives:\n\nDefend Bush and his mess in Iraq\n\nDefend sexual predators in their party.\n\nTwist words of Democrats when they are desperate.\n\nAre leaving their own party in droves by now.\n\nThose who stay in the now-stale "Neo-Right" are shameless.\n\nAnd immoral.

Yeah, back when the office of President meant something and not getting every nation to hate USA. Bush will go down as the most hated person in the world...his job approval rating is now only 29%...lets see how LOW he can go! \n(Clinton still has a HIGH approval rating!) \n\nCheney has 19% rating...\nBush is competitive...\nwill he beat Cheney \nand go even lower???

I concur, and sadly I don't think we've seen the worst of the wanna be emperor. Bush and the republicans are acting like the azz kicking they got  a month ago at thte polls was an aberration. Bipartisanship and Bush is an oxymoron. He will go down kicking and screaming like the spoiled child that he is.

I'm not George Bush fan, but thanks nonetheless for this question.   Hopefully, some of those who are blinded by their hatred will learn to "simmah down" a little.  To be credible with criticism, you've got to maintain perspective.  I see some have already succombed to temptation, and demonstrated that they can't operate within the constraints of the question . . . sad really.\n\nMuch as I find to dislike about him, I also do find some good things.  He is willing to stick to his principles, even when he fully knows it is politically unpopular.  He has tried (unsuccessfully) to change the poisonous atmosphere in D.C.   He has complimented Clinton, minimized the attention placed on the Clinton destruction and plundering of the White House when they left, made real outreach to include Kennedy, Hillary, and other opponents.  All of which has been reciprocated by nastiness.   As you point out, he is a stellar role model for fitness.  And if you admire his wife Laura, as I do, you have to consider that she chose him for her husband: a pretty powerful endorsement.

Are you serious?  I am amazed at the liberal hatred of conservatives that I have read on this site.  Liberals accuse Bush of being a murderer and worse than Hitler.  I have read on this site people saying that they would celebrate if Bush was assassinated.  I have read liberals say that all conservatives are racist, ignorant, stupid, and evil.  These far left liberals are the most hateful people in America.  There are some hateful conservatives, but this in no way comes close to comparing to the hate coming from the left.

It's crazy... liberals have really gotten off on the wrong foot. Just really out of touch with society in general. I think sometimes they even go as far as being a taitor with some of the things they say. \n\nLet's not forget that Bush is fixing what our last president DIDN'T DO. And since he's fixing the mess, liberals hate him because their president didn't do anything except sit on the .com boom and jack up taxes. \n\n(Oh forgot to say that Clinton was offered bin Laden on 3 seperate occasions. He didn't nab him)\n\n(Oh forgot to say that Clinton didn't even visit the first WTC bombing site where 6 died and over 1,000 were injured. Now that's sympathy)
