A country divided... but who's responsible?

Liberals have been accusing Bush of dividing the country. Maybe that's true in a roundabout way. Listen to the sound bytes and then tell me honestly who you think is dividing the country.

First of all, the Democrat debates have been nothing but Bush bashes. I have never heard Bush say anything negative about their party, but not one of the questions that was asked was answered without a shot at some Bush policy. Do these people realize that he is not running again?

I have a theory that they are pandering to their big contributors, the Moveon.org types who HATE Bush. The more they bash the president, the more money rolls in. The more they promise to pull out of Iraq, the more support they get. But isn't this kind of talk what's dividing the country?

Even Republicans are jumping on the bandwagon and taking issue with Bush's policies. But they are taking the easier, softer way. And they are misreading their base. I have heard from many conservatives who are constantly at odds with the Republican leadership on many issues. Republican fund raising is way down... and will continue to be until we get a leader who will speak the truth.
