What if it was, oh i dunno, Hulk Hogan, or somebody? The good Dr. G-H makes a <b>very</b> good point. Liberal hate is the only thing left for a good G*d-fearing conservative to hold onto.

Little sensitive about Babs aren't we?</i> If you cons would shut up about her for 15 minutes, most of the country would think she was dead. Also, nobody knows who George Soros is (maybe not even Soros himself). My position is still that whether or not Global Warming exists doesn't matter, since the main way to curtail it would also help fend off other environmental problems, such as O-Zone depletion. That is unless the cons support skin cancer. But this wouldn't be the first time that they were pro-cancer. Clean up your language young man. Little sensitive about Babs aren’t we?

This from people who believe themselves to be critical of the administration! But they are ruled much more by their negative passions than by their positive aspirations: in this case, attacking liberals (who are out of power) seems to them to be a more productive political action than attacking the conservatives who are very much in power. Such is the power of the emotional call to hatred of liberals. I would cite as evidence the “moderate, reasonable” conservatives who visit this board, day after day, to attack liberals.

It is the only force capable of binding them together at this point, given the manifest failure of their policies, ideas, and leaders. So their irrational, emotional response to Gore is as much based on an internal dynamic as an external one.
