Still, I think an argument could be made that dissent against Bush and his policies is being viewed as treasonous, you only need to look at a few choice posts and listen to a few commentators and authors to get that impression.
And I can show you posts and commentators who yell that people who support the war or other Bush policies are mindless, warmongering conservatives who are blindly following the Bush Administration. The street runs both ways. Both sides are getting uppity and defensive, as well as offensive in many statements. It's the same ole game that's always been played. Emotions are just a little more on edge and heightened for the most part.
I would venture to say that anyone that follows a strict party line is an idiot. Because both parties are corrupt and both parties are errant. Single-mindedness is what is wrong with politics and people. This is not to say you cannot have an opinion that follows a party line, but I hear people saying things like "democrats this" or "liberals that" or "conservatives this" or "Republicans that"...

It is ridiculous to agree wholeheartidly with a party just because it is the party stance..does anyone actually think anymore???
