A life-long democrat that switched sides because you thought ol’ numbnuts “could reach across the aisle???” You’re pathetic. Stay a republican, please.

“Now, near the end of his presidency, when many of us thought we would have helped solve the problem of polarization, we’re in an even more polarized place,” he wrote.

And you’re just the DUMBASS who got us there. I hope you feel really good about yourself.

…republican thought is not really about ideology but is a mental illness that is taking this great country down the drain
And that’s wahy you Dems better enjoy the next two years — because the White House will be ours once more. The Dems will never realize that (their) opinions are not (true) facts.

How are so many Democrats fooled into believing that there is a place for them among republicans? Democrats understand what it means to lift all boats and we also understand that neither government nor business alone can sove the problems of this world. Democrats have got to wake up and realize that republican thought is not really about ideology but is a mental illness that is taking this great country down the drain.

Oh, I’m sorry, wellstone, you’re right.

Tom Dowd is the famous one.

Matthew Dowd, (not Tom, Matthew) was a BIG deal to GW.

His skill and uncanny ability to create and interpret polls that nailed the feeling of the country on issues made him a legend around the Bush White House.

I still laugh when wingnuts tell me how Bush is a “Man of Principle, never allowing himself to be influenced by polls” when he had Dowd, the best pollster of his time, sitting right next to him and Rove while the whole time they were making policy decisions.

I was always puzzled as to why the Bushies let him go and work on Ahh-nult’s Gollyvornia campaign, when he was so desperately needed to connect the Bush team to what the country was thinking.

Looks like it was Dowd’s decision to leave, not the Bush White House’s call.

How easy to slam your county, friends, leaders and military in interviews instead of actually confronted the supposed people you know so very well.

What happened to back bone?

Maybe he can pitch ABC on a co-hosting gig with Stephanopoulos?

Mr. Dowd was impressed by the pledge of Mr. Bush, then governor of Texas, to bring a spirit of cooperation to Washington.

It took him six years???
