1. It's a question I've posed to Bushbots since '01. . .
none so far can see beyond the moment and find nothing wrong with Bush having unlimited power . . . it's as though they expect presidential power can be turned off at will, depending on who sits in the Oval Office and their personal attitude toward them.
4. But how do you explain the attitudes of the average citizen. . .
your run-of-the-mill Bushbot or traditional conservative hasn't a clue what the problems/challenges are with the voting process today, yet they have no problem granting increased power to the Pretzeldent, as they undoubtedly believe he needs these powers and that the risk of a Democrat having them is outweighed by the value of the President -- any President -- having this authority to "protect them."
