Republicans are very angry

I just have to imagine, if Bush was manipulative enough, he could harness a lot of power from this angst. He could for example, get anybody in his party to do what he wants, simply be telling the American people so and so is not good for America, because of this and that.

And for the Democrats, well if Bush could beat down the Democrats in the press by saying everything that most Americans would want to say to the press, Bush would soar and the Democrats would become an easy target for Bush to bash.
