I wish I could get inside the heads of many Bush 'supporters'...I can't imagine that most of them like and trust Bush...what they like is Republican politics and conservative values, and they will cover their eyes and tolerate the charade of 'supporting' Bush in order to keep Republicans, as a party, in power.

It may not be a bet I can win, but I'd bet that they can think of 27 guys they'd rather have lead their party. I, as a Democrat, could list a few Republicans that I would trust, even if I didn't agree with them. Bush (and Cheney and Rove and Rumsfeld etc..are NOT on my list)
