George W. Bush and Dick Cheney governed in a radically sectarian manner, in conformity with only the wishes of their hallowed base

Yup, MSM & moveon.org told us to sit down & STFU, Billyboy was working for the people. He *never* got 50% of the vote, but now we're getting told that George Bush didn't get enough votes to claim he's been given a mandate. Calls for unity, bah humbug, after the crap they pulled with the split Senate.
