So much of the hatred against Bush was because of the media's treatment of him. If the Democratic primary brought us anything good, the best thing it brought us was Democrats seeing the light when their gal was attacked.

I'm really glad to see there are some who don't necessarily agree with conservatives that can still recognize we're not all monsters who want to rule the world.

So by all means, spread it on. There are gays, who are a diverse group of people. Then there is Gay Inc. professional gays who make their living and get invited to cocktail parties based on how they can exploit the first group.

I disagreed with several of his policies but I sure miss him now. He is a good guy. I would love to shake his hand one day. “I have a theory that Bush’s way of dealing with his own bad behavior is one of the reasons that certain lefties have hated him so much.

Makes me think (ouch - <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.youtube.com%252Fwatch%253Fv%253DM68GeL8PafE&h=cf5f9dbce771bdf5c50a8ab22332d211&ref=mf" rel="nofollow">my brain hurts</a>), but man, you gotta lay off the "<i>that good man</i>" and "<i>that good woman</i>' stuff. Stylistically, it gets repetitive and boring. And we already know that you hold them in high esteem from the context of your post, you don't kneed to keep reinforcing the point. Sometimes, it almost seems like you're trying to convince yourself that this person IS truly a good person. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. OK, Dan, I have to nit-pick a bit.

I owe Mr. Bush an apology. I was one of those Bush haters when I was a Women’s Studies minor in college. I regret that now.
