Unfortunately, that's just politics for you. Like it or not, attacking your opposition is a common tactic, no matter which party you support. It might seem like Bush is getting more than his fair share of attacks, but, that's what happens in an election year. The party not in power will always try to do whatever they can to get in power, regardless of who the incumbent may be. Even Bush himself is not immune; his own campaign has made numerous attacks against John Kerry... so it's not like it's totally one-sided.
One must also be careful not to confuse attacking a political candidate with attacking America. Yes, George W. Bush is our president. But is running a campaign ad, or posting an editorial that hurts him, somehow, hurting America? No, it is simply a political tactic. Not one I particularly admire, and one I think we would be better off avoiding, but that is the dynamic of American politics today. People make attacks against candidates. Unless you know of a good way to stop this, it's something you just have to accept.
