Newsday.com - This Time, Democrats Go for the Win: "It is not hatred. It is horror at the way Bush took office, at the way he has governed, at the direction in which he has taken the country. Democrats do not necessarily believe it was wrong to go to war in Iraq, but they do believe Bush went about it the wrong way.

They do not believe polluters should write the anti-pollution laws. They don't believe the vice president's former company, Halliburton, should get no-bid government contracts.

They don't believe the drug companies and the insurance industry should be the chief beneficiaries of the Medicare prescription drug legislation, instead of elderly beneficiaries themselves. They are not so much aghast that a record budget deficit has mounted, but that it grows and grows and grows with each successive Bush tax cut, the bulk of which goes to the people who least need the money."

But slander IS hatred, according to Proverbs 26:28 "A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin." Why don't they say Halliburton, the future vice president's company who received many government contracts from the Clinton Administration; or that Bush shouldn't have gone to war without permission from the U.N.; or that Bush won election according to the law, although Gore and the liberal Florida Supreme Court tried to steal the election; that the tax cut goes to the people who pay taxes and not to people who don't pay taxes; etc., etc. But that is too simple for paid liars.
