I do not believe I am either. I do in fact hate Bush. But that does not make me a leftist. It has to do with the sense of entitlement he exudes. He is the son of wealth. He went to Yale because of his family and their money. He screwed around for many years. He became a successful business man when he was essentially handed a major league baseball franchise. But even that is besides the point. I and many others have serious reservations (I have great fear actually) about what he is doing to the country. I think his domestic policies are horrendous and his economic policies even worse. As to things changing after 911 and the left having no response. Well most americans responded the same way regardless of their political beliefs. I would contend that had Gore won the post 911 stuff would have gone the same. We would have gone into Afghanastan with the same outcome. I would argue that Gore would have been much better at using the good will towards the US that exists after 911 to accomplish the goal of fighting terrorism. Think about how the administration has squandered that good will? The high handed arogance of the Bush team has unnecesarily alientated much of the world.
