We care about the direction our country is heading, too.
so are you saying that there isn't a single liberal that doesn't want to actually see GW fail?

I said that some (not all or even most) feel this way. I think it would be pretty naive to think otherwise. Much how if kerry won the election there would be plenty of conservatives that would want to see him fail (no more than those who want to see GW fail though ). It happens because we're human. We don't think of it as wanting the US to fail, but that's basically (although rather indirectly) what it is.

edit: I guess when i say this, I'm thinking about the people who hated bush since day 1, not necessarily those who are recently dissapointed with him. Many of those people wanted to be able to give a big "I told you so" to everyone and they wanted GW to fail. It'll be the same if kerry gets elected. Many people who already hate him would love for him to fuck up so they can give a big "I told you so" to everyone else. Sad, but true.
