While there was an abject emotional all consuming hatred for Bush on the left, I do not remember any person of the right thinking he walked on water. In fact, many were upset with his policies but it was better than the alternative.

I'm now psychologist but I think that there says something about the mental condition of those on the left.
The cult of the personality, and the cult of the anti-personality, one supposes.
If one likes "A," for example, no matter what "A" does, it's okay.
