Not only did Bush win a second term by more votes, etc., but he would win a third term handily if he could run.
All the Bush bashers would suddenly realize -- when faced with whatever pathetic alternative the dems come up with -- that we are truly blessed to have this man as our leader.
Or, barring that, they would still vote for him. They just enjoy the bashing; it makes them feel superior somehow.
Criticism doesn't equal bashing.
But you know that.
