one thing I've noticed (and many others have noticed) is for the left one of the primary issues of this election is "hate". You hear alot more I hate Bush than I love Kerry.



I have noticed as well that this election, more than any other I can recall in my lifetime of near 40 years is that there are 3 factions going on.

1. Pro Bush
2. Pro Kerry
3. Anybody but Bush (the "I hate Bush" crowd)



Are there really many Pro Kerry people out there? Honestly, I personally haven't met any from that group. Everyone I've talked to who says they are voting Kerry is basically anti-Bush. I've met many Democrats who aren't happy with Kerry as a candidate, but they also don't want Bush in office anymore and are giving Kerry their vote.

And, yes, there is a lot of hate coming out in this election. It's coming from both sides, but I've noticed a bit more coming from the anti-Bush people (notice I didn't say Democrats or liberals). Republicans generally hated Clinton, but I don't remember any fights coming out of that. There were a lot of heavy arguements and debates, but the most violence or vandalism I saw during that was the sign on the bridge crossing into Arkansas as being Clinton's home state being full of buckshot. Hell, citizens had just as much a reason to not like Clinton as they did Bush; but I never saw it at this level. Where did all this hate come from?

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
This is true both in politics and on the internet."
