I'm not sure why, but the anti-Bush ads seem unusually vicious and 
mean-spirited.  Not sure why this particular president is so loathed by the 
opposition....the Clintons (especially Hillary) were not exactly favorites 
of conservatives, but I don't recall this level of venom directed at them.

Maybe viewpoint on this depends on your own particular political 
lean....it's always easy to feel like you're being ignored when your views 
are out of sync with the majority.

And --who-- signed the telecom act into law??   I'm sure both sides of the 
aisle got substantial "grease" from the lobbyists.
