Washington. The theories from liberals and the old media as to why John Kerry lost the presidential election reconfirm that they just don't understand the values and priorities of middle-class America. While they seem to believe that most Americans who voted for President Bush are idiots, religious zealots, or both, the results from our post-election survey show the American people gave President Bush a clear victory for practical and common-sense reasons. They voted for George W. Bush because they trusted his character and were more in agreement with him on the two most important issues of the day: fighting the war on terror and improving the economy.
In spite of what liberals and the media may say, the voters made an educated and rational decision in giving President Bush a clear victory on Election Day.
Myth #1: The American people don't like George W. Bush or his policies.
Fact: A clear majority of voters (54 percent) approves of the job Bush has done as President.
Ironically, President Bush's favorable rating was lower than his job approval rating. This means people voted for Bush because they believed he was doing a good job and agreed with him on the most important issues of the day, which were keeping America safe from terror and improving the economy.
Myth #2: American voters didn't vote for Bush; they were voting against Kerry, and didn't want to change horses during a time of war.
Fact: 83 percent of Bush voters said they were voting for George W. Bush; while only 11 percent said they were voting against John Kerry. The leading responses as to why Americans voted for Bush were because they felt he was doing a good job and they agreed with him on the issues.

What a clear, concise, and readable synopsis of the whole affair.
Actually, if the RATS had put up a candidate that wasn't a traitorous, lying, scumbag, they would have taken the White House.
There is no statute of limitations on treason.
Even if I look at only the past 10 years of each man's life. Bush was the clear winner of the two. If you voted against Kerry over Viet Nam and what he did or didn't do then, you haven't looked at his senate record.
So yes I'd say you are a minority.
That was very well said by both of you. GWB has done somethings that I just can't believe. I can't remember ever voting for a dem. Just thank God we won't have a traitor in the White House!

And in a society that prides itself on hundreds of choices
