Cognitive dissonence and irrational hatred compliment each other.

Juan's argument was rediculous. I saw it. He was essentially upset because Bush is appointing people who are ideologically similiar with him to his cabinet. But who else would he appoint? Nancy Pelosi? Juan's whole argument is rooted in the fact that he thinks Bush is wrong and wants balance in the cabinet. I don't remember Juan advocating for Clinton to make Jerry Fallwell Secretary of Education.

The inconsistency is nothing new. One minute he's a cowboy with a funny face and a finger up his nose, getting dragged around by Rumsfeld, the next his plans are Hitler-esque ideas about taking over the world and killing everyone he doesn't like.

I wouldn't say it's a 'debate,' but the Bush-haters get into this a lot themselves, where someone will write "I'm scared, Bush is so evil!" and someone else will argue that they should be scared, but not because he's evil, but because he's stupid.

I don't think it will end.

het. My co-workers and I had this very conversation yesterday.

The Diversity of Cabinent argument is hillarious. If and when we have a Democratic President we must remind ourselves to "shout from the rooftops" for diversity.

speaking as a bush hater.

1. Don't think Bush is evil per se. He is a christian fundamentalist who attaches too much importance to the bible for the position he holds but not evil.

2. he is stupid or at least manages to make himself look stupid. Feel he is not a meglomaniac who insists on like-minded figures to control. most presidents look for like-minded people to work with. Look at Blair in UK.

3. The problem as i see it is not Bush, as i still see him more as a daddy's boy with a cabinet of his daddys cronies. the real menace is or now was, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Pearle and Ashcroft. PNAC in otherwords who have too much influence on US foreign policy.
