Bush's reactionary temperament is exactly why he is unfit
to be the President. Most of us did not annoint him in 2000 anyway, but the fact is that a president is capable of getting us into terrible trouble if he makes knee-jerk decisions based on emotion rather than sound rationale. George Bush is not just unlikeable to our DU members, but he is a clear danger for the world.

1. He is just smart enough to realize he isn't smart enough
the bullying worked for a long, long time. Not anymore.

2. This is a moment we need to capitalize on
The guy looked wild eyed and extreme. He showed he has no control over his anger .

This is a trait that can be very dangerous in a leader.

4. I honestly think that it is a button that needs
to be pressed if it hasn't already started. The first thing required of someone in that critical position must be emotional stability and a rational mind. Bush is showing in the debates that he has neither. This is what I am going to be drumming into the opinion sites, along with others I suspect.

3. Yup
And if Kerry yelled at the moderator during that debate like Bush did, it would be playing every two minutes on all of the cable news networks.

7. it's more his reactionary views on the issues
not to nitpick, well maybe a little, but i think the word you were looking for was "reactive" rather than "reactionary" ...

although reactionary is a great description of bush for another reason ....

10. On Bush's Emotionalism.
He is a reflection of his base. Don't forget that. They adore him because his debating skill is right on par with theirs :)
