Reply #16: How about some common sense?

[Old and In the Way]

Bush lost by 500,000 votes in 2000.

In the 4 years since he was selected, he:

* Took a $400BB surplus and turned it into a $400BB deficit.
* Ignored warnings on 9/11 and was criminally negligent letting 3000 people die.
* Lied about Iraq's involvement with WMD in Iraq and started an immoral war of occupation for no good reason.
* Clearly lost the debates.
* Was under 50% in polls just prior to election....undecideds always break against an incumbant.

And for this, he gets 4MM or so more votes than Kerry? Kerry got huge pre-election crowds...Bush couldn't fill an auditorium. Sorry no sale.

So what can explain? Hmmmmmm.....maybe this?
