...then why did Bush' approval rating go from 60 odd percent down to 25?
Both sides are able to make their arguments on the internet, people got informed, Bush's popularity tanked. (I would like to see a graph that charted the increase in blog activity relative to the decrease in Bush's numbers).
I should concede, however, that there is way too much time wasted by people on political forums (of all political stripes) merely attacking people. Next time anyone out there is thinking about commenting on a debate video by saying "wow, that guy tore him another one", please refrain, it is a waste of everyone's time. And, while I agree that Bush is an idiot, merely pointing that out without adding anything else isn't helping anyone.
And, sorry Mishima666, but, although perhaps not at quite the same level as the angry right-wingers, there are terms used quite often by progressives such as "Right Wing Wackjobs", repukes, repugs, etc.
