Tallahassee Democrat By Eugene Robinson, WASHINGTON POST

George W. Bush used to claim he was ”a uniter, not a divider,” but that was a long time ago. These days, he’d probably try to deny the quote the same way he tried to disown ”stay the course.” The Karl Rove formula for political victory has been to draw a bright line between ”us” and ”them” and then paint those on the other side not as opponents but as monsters.

Thus Bush openly accused those who disagree with his policy in Iraq of giving aid and comfort to the enemy. ”The Democrat approach in Iraq comes down to this: The terrorists win and America loses,” he said the other day.
