Okay sarcasm aside, one of the things I find truly head-shaking is this optimism/pessimism thing. Sure, we're critical of your president's decisions and agenda. We think he's made some HUGE mistakes. But....

I love America. Great country. And I think America has GREAT untapped potential. Indeed, one of the really exciting things about living at this moment in history is that, for the first time in humankind, we're probably capable of eradicating stuff like hunger. I think that, as well as America has performed, it has MUCH more potential.

I noticed that Big Dick's closing remarks were basically "Be afraid. Be very afraid. Be so afraid, that you are scared to make a change." Conversely, Edwards closing remarks were "Dubya is selling America short. We're capable of MUCH more, and John Kerry hopes for an opportunity to strut our stuff and show America, and the world what we're really made of and what's possible."

So, I frankly get the opposite impression. I think the libs love America more, and are more optimistic, than the cons.
