I'm sure if we elect a liberal in '08, there will be others just as happy to do the same, so please don't think I'm attacking one group or the other.
Actually you make an excellent point. People who get too partisan often allow their political bias to get in the way of what is good for the country. Personally, I am a democrat and was against the war in Iraq, and I think George Bush is the most incompetent president we have ever had. I also think this Iraq thing will end in disaster.
That said, as an American I hope to God I am wrong. If it works out, if Iraq becomes a deomcracy etc etc then all of us should be glad about the result and give credit where credit is due.

In truth, however, if Hillary Clinton were president she would be getting the same flak on the right that Bush gets from the left. It is a serious problem in this country and people should be aware that there is a hair trigger mentality to a lot of this.
