maybe i just suck at pointing out the obvious. Lets go back to the beginning. The year is 2000. Bush and Gore are going at it. I hear a lot of mean things about Bush (Gore too, but that's not the point). I hear some people saying that Bush is going to run the country into the ground. I even hear other people saying they'll leave the country if Bush is elected.
2001. Bush was elected. Those people saying all those mean things are pissed. Now: do you think they would like bush to be the best president ever...or....do you think they'd like to see him screw up? I hear a lot of them today saying "I told you so" which leads me to believe they wanted him to screw up all along. For them that's better than him being an awesome president and other people shoving a big "I told you so" in their face isn't it? Maybe I'm just less optimistic about the mindsets of the general public.

This part's just for you smooth. I know it can be tough to see how the president and the US might be linked. For starters...why has GW failed so far? Is it because his daughters are kinda skanky?? Is it because he crashed his bike?? Or maybe...just maybe...is it because he did something that hurt the US? Isn't that really what the president failing is? So would it not be safe to say that when the president fails, the US is hurt? So then, if that is in fact true, (I think my logic is okay on this) wanting the president to fail can be considered the same as wanting the US to be hurt.

Hmmm, yep, I suppose that could be deduced from my statement. I thought it was obvious but apparently not obvious enough that there are in fact liberals that would like to see the president fail and they are the majority of those who do want to see the president fail. I don't remember ever saying there weren't any conservatives who wanted to see the president fail...this thread is only about liberals
