I agree with this. Hating Bush is the majority American opinion, as well as world opinion. Liking Bush is most comparable to choosing to have terrible body odor -- sure, it's not conventional, or "the norm," but some people just don't care that they are objectively revolting. “Hating Bush is about as rebellious as tinting your hair blue.”
