And the Answer Is: He Got the Most Electoral College Votes
Are you enjoying the excuses as some people try to explain Bush's victory? The most popular reason I've heard since the election is it was those evangelical Christians. (Catholics rejoice for the break. You'll be back on their #1 hot seat very soon.)

If you want to discount anything, label it first. The discounting of the word Christian sometimes even has a facial expression when said by a media person. Next, comes word association. Many already know that evangelicals are uneducated, weak people who cannot think for themselves. Fits beautifully for the Michael Moore types to conclude that Christians are ignorant and Bush is ignorant, so the ignorant voted for the ignorant. Case closed.

Do you ever get the feeling that we're fighting the Revolutionary War all over again? We don't like taxes. We don't want the king (Or the queen in 2008) telling us what to think. America is America because we have never followed the patterns of other countries. Of course Europe thinks we're odd. That's why we started our own country.

I loved Bush's line that "freedom is a gift from God."
