I th...I'm as puzzled by his re-election as you are. I think it was because the Republicans, and the Neo-Cons( a sub group of the Republicans who make Machiavelli seem liberal) are very good at mis-direction. They sold the scenario that Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11, and irrespective of the mountain of evidence to the contrary continued to beat that drum all through the campaign. Unfortunately the number of people who actually can put 2 and 2 together for themselves are outnumbered by the people who can't analyze the data and realize that the region was much more stable before we went in there. Then there are the emotionally and religiously charged issues of Gay Rights and Abortion, neither of which are the business of government IMHO. The Republicans are against both of them, and therefore garner the support of the Christian Right, which is also not known for being deep thinkers on the whole. And here is the totally baffling part. The more hypocrisy and outright lies are exposed, the more the right wing extremists dig in and insist that a Democratic president would put Osama Bin Laden in the White House within seconds of the election. If only Canada weren't so darn cold I'd come up there.<BR/>;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452924829161040975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12065579.post-22176268978814045612007-11-11T12:19:00.000-05:002007-11-11T12:19:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452924829161040975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12065579.post-33945326307199418782007-11-11T11:46:00.000-05:002007-11-11T11:46:00.000-05:00I don't have much of a political incline at all, b...I don't have much of a political incline at all, but I find that all politicians are hypocrites.<BR/><BR/>When you wrote: "The Republicans have adopted a de facto F-You attitude toward the American people...wait, strike that...toward the rest of the world" I can't help but wonder is it only them?<BR/><BR/>I read many blogs who, like you, are not happy with their leader, and yet he was re-elected, why was that?stinkypawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418558395508830375noreply@blogger.com
