What is the other side saying about Bush and what he has done?

Seems as if they attack the Democrats for having the temerity to point out what is wrong without saying themselves, the Republicans, what's right with what Bush is doing. I just do not understand how on God's Green Earth ANYONE can rationally defend the guy. Is it a sect, are they all on a bad trip? Bush is not religious, neither is Bush a patriot.

Any good books about the Bush aberration ?

I think it answers your questions.....I think that many of the American populace is emulating the German populace as the Nazi's took over. It's eerily similar.......

7. I am a pretty good student of German history. Yes, there are similarities.
unfortunately. Thank God, it has not become as bad.

Hitler was an insecure, "Miserfolg" (failure) who took advantage of people's fears.

Bush is an insecure, "Miserfolg" (failure) who takes advantage of people's fears.

Gee, I see what you mean.

6. The far right and far left have made the fight personally and no one
is willing to give any ground. Neither side is willing to admit they are wrong. You can not judge the Democrats or Republicans by their most extreme members. Both parties want the same thing basicly, they just disagree on how to get there.

Take heart though... Moderates and normal Republicans are listening. Bush's poll numbers are down and discontent with Republican leadership continues to grow. The pendulum is starting to swing back left...


Peace out.
