It doesn't help to hate Bush -- just to hate his policies.

Sorry if that sounds like Romper Room or Mr. Rogers style advice, but it's true. The media doesn't just identify us as Bush-haters -- they DISMISS us as Bush-haters. As long as they can explain our motivation as personal dislike for Bush, they don't have to take our issues seriously. We're not complaining because Bush has destroyed the economy, squandered our international reputation, and gotten us into a senseless war... we're just complaining because we hate Bush.

Maybe you do hate Bush. That's fine for you, but it doesn't help your cause.
