'As a meeting recently, Bush referred to Craig as “a goddamned traitor” and told the National Republican Senatorial Committee to start recruiting someone to run against the Idaho Senator in 2008.'

Yes, I've discovered that seems to be one of the basic rules of American politics: it is always OK for Republicans to replace a candidate in favour of someone more right-wing, but if the Dems ever try to replace a candidate with someone more liberal, that's the next thing to a Stalinist purge!

'Such anger against those who dare oppose him is typical for a President who all too often launches into obscene tirades when his policies are questioned. Bush, on many occasions, has called political opponents “traitors”'

What a lover of democracy. I bet he's calling a certain Mr. Gordon Brown a traitor right now!
