Bush voters put Bush back into office because....

[kentuck]

...he may be a stupid and reckless bastard but, by God, he is their "bastard". They voted for him before. Ain't no way they are going to admit they were wrong the first time. And they voted to renew their own mistake. They could not admit they were wrong. But they were.

Ain't no way they are going to accept responsibility for the huge deficits and the wrecking of our economy. They rationalized that the "war on terror" was a threat to them personally and that George W Bush was the best person to "protect" them. And they need "protection".....protection from themselves.
