RW, > We never whined about the media or some outside source as an excuse for our political failure.
What a load of crap. Liberals have always whined about the (right-wing) media for years now.
More excuses include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Voter disenfranchisement in Florida. - Bush was selected, not elected. - Clever guy, that Rove. - Too much money in politics, which favors the party of the "rich." - Bible-thumping red states ( fuckthesouth.com ) - Nazi-like tactics of the Bush administration.
Very rarely did I ever see liberals blame themselves for their own failures during those years.
> Did "many, many liberals" want Bush to fail? I'll take a guess; if you mean the ultra liberals, maybe 10% of the population, then yes.
Maybe only after 9/11. Before that, many liberals wanted Bush to fail because they felt he would have dismantled Social Security, restarted the Cold War via the missile shield, force Christianity upon everyone, etc., etc.
