Hell I'd say a larger % of French like George W. than Americans (and the French look for any excuse to say bad things about any American).

You're talking with Americans that are smart enough to communicate with people from other countries. Most conservative republicans that I know are either very wealthy or so close minded that they think there is no reason to speak with anyone that even lives in another part of the USA much less in another country.
It's really scary in places where Dubya supporters hang out. A difference of opinion is met with extreme anger or just plain hate. The capability for rational discussion is almost nonexistent. Not all but at least 9 out of 10.
