Well, golly gee, Bush promised to be a uniter, not a divider. The
Bush/Cheney campaign promoted his record of 'building concensus' in
Texas, although his actual record didn't seem to show it much.

So you are saying that Bush is *not* a concensus builder, but instead
tries to stamp out dissent? That sounds about right to me... but it is
not IMHO a desirable characteristic in the leader of a "free" country.
