23. I don't know anyone who wanted Bush to fail
I know many lefties, a few righties and some independents of all stripes and no one I know wanted Bush to be a failure, and in fact many including myself were rather disappointed in his constant failures. So a more accurate thing for you to say, based on my experience, is that "that is the problem with the Republican party."

I get what your point is, but I disagree that all parties are the same. The Democrats often disagree internally on MANY issues. Hell, they piss me off on many issues, and I always try to express and communicate not only the disappointment, but also the good things. The Democrats seldom vote as strongly on party lines on many issues compared to the Republicans, and I largely think it is because of the nature of conservatism, that they are less likely to buck the trend internally.
