Bush fatigue is definitely in favor of whoever the Dem nominee is. However, in regards to Obama, the Repugs have yet to bring out the long knives.
If they can't make people love Bush III, they will paint Obama as an America hater, a crook, and a liberal. Here is how that works, Rev. Wright, Rezko, and gay marriage. Have fun.
A liberal? I guess we should stop being liberals then, to prevent Republicans from winning.
Yeah... at some point, we're going to need to stop apologizing for who we are. If we can't do that during an election where even our centrists are often to the right of public opinion, then I don't know when it could possibly happen. I think a full generation of Democratic voters has been taught that they have to lie about what they believe in order to be trusted by the public. It's no wonder the Republicans have kept beating us.
I have no problem being called a liberal, or a progressive. It puts me at odds with a lot of people in this neck of the woods.
I also have observed that as more of these same people became disillusioned with Bush, the Economy, the war, and all of the many other things that is slowly turning their lives upside down and propelling them to serfdom, these people are asking me for my political opinions more & more, and they're listening.
