The Bush supporters "were more numerous". That's all that really matters.
Screaming louder than the other guys gets you nowhere.

But you forget......

"Gore won the popular vote"! whine, whine "Gore won the popular vote"!

Ok, Bush won the Presidency. But, he certainly didn't win a mandate
for his extremist policies. There has been no attempt to consider the
desires of the majority of voters who didn't vote for the rascal.

A) I never heard anyone claim that W received a mandate in the election of
2000.

B) W received his mandate on the morning of September 11, 2001.

C) You may consider some or all of his policies "extremist", but that is
your personal opinion, not general fact.

D) It may have slipped your attention, but we do not live in a democracy,
wherein the voters are consulted on virtually all matters. We live in a
Constitutional Republic. We send elected persons to staff the government
and to make decisions according to their best judgment. If we don't like
their judgment, we vote them out the next time around. This business of
consulting focus groups, or directly polling constituents, prior to any
decision-making, is, in my view, an abdication of responsibility under the
Constitution.

Bull. No one gave Bush carte blanche to go crazy with his brand of
right-wing extremism.

With an inability to carry anything personally. This "ferker" is
programmed by his handlers.

Did you see him with Tim Russert? The "ferker" is missing most of his
brain cells or never started with many.

For lacking so many "brain cells" as you say this "ferker" sure has been
a lot more successful in life than you with all of your liberal education eh?

But of course Bush had the silver spoon factor and many helping hands
up and you obviously had nothing.

Can your restribution of the wealth ideals compensate for this lack
of familial unity and natural progression?

Using Deja-news (Usenet archiver) it sadly appears that you are not
quite the free-thinker and man that you fancy yourself as. It seems
many of your words echo that of a Mr. Harry Krause right down to
the letters. Would be a stretch to call Harry YOUR handler? Why
don't you call him "daddy"? He is old enough.

I just love how, no matter WHAT a republican does, the fellow
republicans just CAN'T seem to say, "he messed up", or "he was wrong".
It's that same tow the line, blinders on, goose stepping crap that
leads you guys to call anyone who disagrees with Bush a "traitor", or
a "communist", and on and on. Funny how BushCo, whom you guys refer to
as a UNITER, has this country the most divided that it's ever been!

Gotta disagree with this last statement. The country was more divided
in the 1850s and 60s with the civil war, but this comes next (at least
so far)

While I wouldn't call GWB a "uniter", this country has been through some
very divisive times. Recently, I would call the Vietnam era more divisive
than this.
