Gads! I now lay mortally wounded, skewered by your rapier-like wit you silver-tongued devil you! Wait! Is this Karl Rove?!

For the record it's better than half (51%) and that raises a question.
How does it feel to have backed a candidate that is so incompetent he can't beat a bunch of idiots?

America has spoken. Actually the Bible Belt has spoken in greater numbers than the rest of us. So be it. I can't remember an election so heavily influenced by a religious factor. Even when Kennedy ran he asked people not to take into consideration the fact that he was Catholic. Well we voted democratically right? Now we need to be a nation of healers and uniters. But first we need to get rid of Bush. Can we impeach him yet? Maybe on the grounds that he is an idiot?

Hell no! America elected him, it should have to serve out the entire sentence. You broke it, you own it.
However, the blue states should be allowed to secede.

I saw this link to Michelle Catalano's blog from Instapundit:
"I voted for George Bush.
I am not a redneck.
I do not spend my days watching cars race around a track, drinking cheap beer and slapping my woman on the ass.
I am not a bible thumper. In fact, I am an atheist.
I am not a homophobe.
I am educated beyond the fifth grade. In fact, I am college educated.
I am not stupid. Not by any stretch of facts.
I do not bomb abortion clinics."
Will we on this site, as well as in te outside world, ever see each other as anything other than stereotypes after all of this?

I suspect Nader was the deciding factor again, but not in the way most people thought he would be. Nationwide he drew only 1 percent of the vote this time.
Alert readers will recall that many Florida voters were stricken with guilt and embarrassment over their failure to vote for Gore in 2000. That election's "protest votes" for Nader, along with the "accidental votes" for Buchanan on the confusing butterfly ballot, clearly deprived Gore of Florida's electoral votes. With those, he would have easily taken the Presidency. So this time around, I think thousands of Florida voters, or perhaps even tens of thousands, resolved to undo their past mistake.
They made sure they were properly registered to vote.
They made sure they understood the voting rules.
They made sure to get to the right polling place.
And they made damn sure to vote for Gore this time.
Four years too late, maybe, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?
Mark my words! A careful analysis of the Florida write-in vote will be needed to verify my hypothesis, but you heard it here first.

Well since idiots have always outnumbered intelligent people by at least four to one and you managed to only beat Kerry by a slim 7% margin you might want to send out a search party for the rest of your folk...

Then she truly is in the minority in that camp... And has less an excuse for her vote than they do...

there are plenty of economic and defense conservatives who voted for Bush but who don't share the social agenda - we must make sure Bush realizes this.

If you'd actually read a book on statistics, you'd know that your sentiment is in a statistical echo chamber.

Good lord you're right! Thank you for pointing out the incredibly obvious and missing it at the same time!

He doesn't, Eric, and he doesn't have to -- lame duck and all that. Besides, he lost the popular vote last time around and it didn't stop him from pursuing a conservative social agenda.

If you had been brought up in Iraq, how would you feel about having your family blown to pieces, and then having to endure the triumphant "liberation of Iraq" claim
from Bush.
There is no democracy in the US. You're president is an idiot, but this was bound to happen eventually, as 1 in 2 Americans fit this profile, it appears .
