Abuse comes from a bastardization of love while the actions of Bush could best be described as a bastardization of power...I agree the analogy is defensible but I would question whether it defines what has happened.

Thanks Somer,
I look at the actions rather than the motivations. You raise some interesting commonalities, control, power preservation (domination), breakdown of belief structures to remain "right".
There remain some that "love" Bush, and refuse to see his "bastardization of power".
Thanks for your insight. There just might be more similarities than I had previously seen.
