  There are so many fasle assumptions to their argument

  Too many to count really. But the main one is that, since everyone who still supports Bush/Cheney is a "conservative," that means that anyone who is critical of Bush/Cheney is therefore a "liberal." I don't think I need to get into how ridiculous that assertion is. But that's how they think. They cannot get beyond this "team sports" mentality.

  The next is that since their fealty to Bush/Cheney drives their ideology, that means that the "liberals" "hatred" of Bush/Cheney drives our thought process. Which, again, betrays a complete ignorance regarding how a "liberal" mind comes to a conclusion.

  The last thing "we liberals" do is derive our conclusions from an initial hatred of anyone or anything. It's quite the opposite, in fact. We look at the situation, digest the facts, and then come to a conclusion about the matter.

  I can't speak for anyone else, but the conclusion I keep coming to is that of contempt for those who still support Bush/Cheney. I've made my peace with those two men. I mean, they wake up every morning as the same person. How is Bush NOT going to be a Bush supporter? But his supporters wake up every morning and make the choice to support him no matter how bad things get, no matter how reckless his policies, or how destructive the consequences of those policies are. THAT is why my contempt is focused on them.

  I wish people could get it straight that there's a difference between a Bush-hater, and a Bush-supporter-hater.
