Well, apparently George W Bush's memoir is selling more copies than Bill Clinton's memoir did.  As you can imagine, this has liberals in a tizzy, looking for an explanation.  After all, conservatives don't read, and everybody hates GW, right?  So, one of the explanations being touted is that people like to read about people they hate.  Amazing how I've never heard this explanation for books by Barack.  In liberals' minds, it is impossible for a conservative to be liked, especially one that they hate so much.  If they would ever step out of their bubble and visit "flyover country" they would meet the millions that love GW.  Liberals have wrongly equated a low approval rating with hatred for the former president.

There are many people that disapproved of GW's leadership as president, but still like the man himself.  I believe that polling questions should have been more elaborate during his presidency.  Do you approve of the job the president is doing?  If no, do you think he needs to be more conservative, more moderate, or more liberal?  I think the answers to those questions would have been very telling.  Liberals are always going to hate a Republican president, always, so we can expect low approval numbers from them.  When a Republican fails to act conservatively, then conservatives are going to disapprove of his job performance as well.  I believe that conservatives disapproved of GW's job performance because he did not veto any spending bills, and sent our country on the path of a spending frenzy.  Although, compared to the current administration, GW looks downright fiscally conservative.  But, with Democrats controlling Congress for GW's last 2 years of office, conservatives expected some vetoes of the outrageous spending bills, and he didn't do that, so we disapproved of his job.  Didn't mean we didn't like him and wouldn't look forward to reading his memoir; it just meant we wished he would govern as a conservative.

I know this will be a hard concept for the elite liberals to grasp, so they will continue to cling to their nonsensical explanations and paint the rest of us as stupid.  But, the rest of us know that job approval does not equate to hatred of the president, and we will continue to lift sales of GW's memoirs to downright inexplicable numbers for the liberals:0)
