Anger at Bush fuels caucus campaigns

DES MOINES, Iowa – Nobody could be nicer, warmer, or more welcoming to an out-of-stater than Iowans Don Ramus, Myron Hull, Max Lovell, and Richard Bennett.

Until you mention the name of President Bush.

That is when eyes narrow to slits, veins stand out on necks, and anger rushes to the surface.

Ramus, Hull, Lovell and Bennett don't agree on everything and, in fact, disagree on the best candidate in Monday's Democratic presidential caucuses. But, interviewed separately at campaign rallies last week, they quickly flashed the one trait that has emerged as the most powerful unifying factor in the Democratic campaign: a deep, abiding, visceral antipathy toward the president.

"He is a little, arrogant person," said Ramus, a 68-year-old retired claims adjuster, at a rally for Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina. "When he said 'Bring 'em on' to the terrorists – well, he's not the one fighting and dying over there."

"You're darn right I'm angry," said the former plant superintendent. "When he got into office I had a pretty good stock market. I thought I was living comfortably, but it ain't that way now."

2. Technically he is a "uniter". The Greens and the DLC will be united...

And they will be joined by Democrats, moderate Republicans, and independents too. :)
