Blinded by hate. The liberals are blinded by their hate of the President and of his party. You can see it and hear it when they speak about their own causes. They cannot get past the hate they have for the President. They have trouble forming or expressing their opinions, because they are so angry. Whatever trigger that Bush tripped in these people, they can't get past it. Watch and you will see: liberals will stew and stew and stew these next four years. They will sputter and fuss and turn red and steam will come out their ears, but they will always be stuck on their hatred for the man in charge.

George Bush is like a battle cruiser, fixed on a destination and heading there full-steam, and the liberals are like a submarine whose captain keeps attacking the battleship's wake. As long as the liberals focus on George Bush's "wake", they will remain outside of the official political leadership, sure: but they will also remain outside of any power to cause change. Leaders lead.
